Can this product drill holes in steel?

I would not recommend trying that. Definitely not the ideal tool for that job, as these are really made with wood in mind.

Absolutely....Just make sure a drill bit designed to drill metal is being used.

I use these in wood all the time my answer would be no you probably could but they would not hold up to many holes as they are only high speed steel not carbide or diamond

Yes, you could drill holes but you need drill bits with special ends to fit the screwdriver. You can also use spade bits. The screwdriver may not drill many holes until it needs recharging.

This is only for wood. For steel, you will require a milling machine or equivalent.

No, but you could easily drill holes if needed. The material isn't too hard.

If it is being held by something solid (vice?) or installed with mounting brackets then I would think it would be easily done. It is made of a soft aluminum and very bendable. I had much luck and success with this product however I didn't not drill it. Good luck.

It can drill any material a corded version of a medium duty could. Very strong drill for the standard type that it is. Good on wood, metals, plastics. I haven't found a drill yet that is great for stainless steel, that is more in the technique you use. I would not recommend this for mixing heavy thick materials such as large batches of grout, drywall mud, etc. You need a heavy duty type for mixing those items or you will burn most drills up. I also would not recommend for drilling concrete, it could probably do it but best to use a hammer drill. This is a great unit for what it is, just keep in mind they make hammer drills, high torque drills, impact drills, etc. for a reason...each has a purpose and application.

Hi Pkel,Thank you for your inquiry!You use self drilling carpenter screws to drill the holes.BisonOffice

Yes it could, but it may not be very good for you. The vice is not aligned on center (mine wasn't anyway) which will make accurate holes difficult to drill. The bits themselves seem decent, but I haven't had a chance to try to push them through anything tougher than thin wood. A quality pin vice, such as those from Starrett may be more up your alley for doing fine jewelry work.

Yes, this will work better than a hole saw. Just punch a center point first to avoid the "walking" effect when drilling.

It may be possible with a special drill bit. I have seen it done, but not specifically with this one.

Yes, as long as he uses the proper bits for metal, and uses some type of lubricant (WD-40 or something similar) to keep the bit from over heating, it should do just fine. Don't expect it to bore through heavy steel plate, but the thin sheet metal and tubing used in motorcycle and automotive applications will be no problem for this drill.

I drilled quite a few holes into some fairly thick aluminum pieces and had no problem. With some good metal specific drill bits you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, I installed mine on a steel door at my shop. You will need to find where you want to locate the bell, mark bracket holes and drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw you use. A small pan head sheet metal screw is all you need. A self drilling screw would work too, but I would still drill first. Hope this helps!

You might be able to drill 2 inch holes, but I would recommend a bigger rotary hammer for such a job.

Yes, you have to drill holes but not in metal as far as I could tell, just plastic.
