Would this drill be useful with dry ceramic projects in tight places?

The girlfriend said it definitely could work for that...but only with the right drill bits...I got it for her so I dont know anything about them

Yes I think it would. You can use it very precisely and it's pretty powerful for such a small instrument. I have used it to trim plaster on a detailed area of a mirror I was repairing.

In principle, yes. I have drilled some 5/32" holes in concrete with this drill, although I would recommend a larger drill (perhaps 10 amps) if you need to do a lot of heavy drilling. Depending on the volume of your work, you may consider a percussion drill as well.

This is a hammer drill, it can be used to drill concrete with a masonry bit. It isn't an impact driver which is normally used for driving screws into wood, drywall ect. It will however work but not as efficiently. Both tools are designed specifically for different tasks.

It's got lots of power and sturdiness so I think it'll do fine with the correct bit. You might go through a few bits, depending on depth and strength of concrete but the drill will hold up.

In my opinion no. With this thick of a bit you would likely burn out your dremel motor and it may not drill perfectly straight.

Absolutely. With a sharp drill bit this drill has more than enough torque to handle any job around the house. It's really not a matter of having enough torque with most drills, the difference is battery life and charging times with today's drills. For general use around the house by the average 'handyman', this drill is a great buy!

I use it for Tapcons and similar on occasion, and it works well enough in concrete. The drill is awesomely powerful for drilling framing members with auger bits and such, which I use it for daily.

It is a very compact tool, it should fit in to a deep area that a cordless drill would have difficulty with.

I think this is better suited to sanding corners and areas that are difficult or inaccessible with other power tools. It moves rapidly and may damage veneers.

As I understand it this a tool intended to used on relatively soft materials such as wood or platic. Not on heavy gage steel or ceramics for instance. As such you will have no problem with the duration or performance of the tools. On their availability, so far Amazon has proven to be a good and reliable source, although many Sears storees do carry them. I hope this helps you makeup your mind about this tool.

I've used mine to drill about 50 or so holes into a muzzle break for a model tank with no problems. I guess it depends which of the bits you use...perhaps.

In a word.....No. The output of this drill is rotary motion.....like a regular drill except it has a high speed "pounding/hammering" component too. It is for use with carbide-tipped drills ... and it drills round holes in concrete quickly. That is ALL is is good for. Sorry.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

Use any standard rotary drill at medium-low speed with plenty of water for cooling. No hammer drill; that will crack any ceramic/marble/granite.

I don't see why not. The drill has adequate power and stability. As for manufacturer recommendations, you would need to contact Dewalt directly for their direction. You can just search for their website and contact them there.

Probably if the holes are small and you don't push to hard or get in a hurry. I use it to drill holes in leather for sewing.

Yes, This is a hammer drill that is excellent for drilling into masonry. Make sure you have a good bit and you should be fine.
