Will it handle drilling 1/2 hole in a wine bottle. If not can you recommend one that will.

Keep in mind that the chuck (the part that holds the drill bit) is only 0.25 inches. So you'll have to have a drill bit with a 0.25 inch shank or smaller. Also, the limited height adjustment means you can't use a very long bit. I purchased the following drill press (from a different retail chain) and it accepts larger bits, has a greater throw, and a more powerful motor. It is much heavier and a good bit larger, but I find the trade-offs are worth it. POWERTEC DP801 Baby Drill Press, 5-Speed

it should have no problem drilling a wine bottle so long as you have the proper drill bit. The drill press is plenty powerful enough

Probably not, because glass needs to be underwater for drilling, and also the drill is small so there's not enough room to get a bottle in there.

hard, hard question. You CAN chuck up a 1/2" drill bit in this machine. I think the problem will come in the drill speed. This machine DOES NOT SLOW DOWN much at all. the remarks of J. Sulivan are right on!! If I were trying this -- I would start with a small hole (1/16") and work my way up. Also you need to know that my experience in drilling glass is just about zero.

hi yes it will be ok as your chuck will tighten ok, my drill press has a 1/2" chuck as well.

If you are drilling with a portable hand drill it is probably as good as any method of trying to drill a straight hole. Just clamp it in place. If you are using a drill press it might not be usefull

I didn't pay too much attention to what kind of corks I'd use it on but all of the corks I've used this on don't seem to be a problem. It has a good point on the end of it to dig it in plus it has a small groove that runs along the entire corkscrew which helps getting the corkscrew further into the cork. You shouldn't have a problem with it.

The size of the 1/2" drill chuck is the limiting factor. Should easily accommodate a 1/2 drill.

Yes I think it will drill a 6 " hole but I don't know if it will work in your drill I have a 1/2 " air drill.

All I can say is that I do not use this for drilling, I only use it as a screw driver. I would contact DeWalt and ask them any questions you may have such as if it is possible to use it for that purpose.

Tim, I think it would handle the 5/4, you would just need to cut 50% and then flip the board over to cut through. Make sure you have the board clamped down tight and take it slow. Luckily cherry is not that hard. I would practice with a little scrap first so you get the feel of things. You did not mention the diameter of the hole. It will cut up to an 8in dia hole. It should be used in a drill press with a very low RPM setting, the slower the better.

Yes it will but it will take a lot longer than if you had a hammer drill so basically it isn't the right tool for the job but if you don't have to do many holes you could still get the job done without having to spend more for a hammer drill.

I used the largest bit and drilled holes on 20+ wine bottles . Some in the bottom of the bottle and some in the side of the bottle always using a atomizer water bottle to keep the bit cool. Product worked better than I anticipated

I used it to drill thin aluminum and it did a really good job. I would think cigar boxes should be fine.

We have used the wine bottle sealer without any trouble. I don't know why you would be having trouble unless the outside diameter of the bottle type is too wide.

This drill bit is built with really good quality. It should work with any 1/2 drill. However, it is the drill usually has too much torque, and hard to control the torque. Using the bit with such drill is easy to hurt the rist. Be very careful with it. I am not recommending it as it is tricky and easy to hurt rist.

The tool has standard 1/4" drive so you'd have to use some type of adapter to use a drill bit. It doesn't have a chuck mechanism.

Yes it will work with 1/2" material, you will have to adjust the drill stop and some of the screw head will be out on drilled piece

I am not 100 % sure that you could. I am not familiar with any type of hole drilling done with this. I would guess a hammer drill would be more along the lines of something you would use.

When I use a 2" hole saw, it seems to lack power, I have used a 9/16th's forstner drill bit and it worked well. I have worked with red oak.
