Hi, i'm looking for a drill that can make 76mm holes (nearly 3 inch) on 3cm (1 inch) wood,without straining the machine, this tools can do that? PD:

They are extremely drop durable I have dropped mine at least 4 times off of the roof of a cabin.

This has the power to drill that size hole with a common hole saw bit. If you are drilling a lot of locksets or you need to recharge properly.

It can do it but if you will be making frequent holes of this caliber i would suggest a Milwaukie hammer drill. But these do everything I need except drill through concrete slabs.

I think you are asking for trouble if you try to use any hand drill to drill a hole of this diameter. It's not safe. I have drilled 1" (nominal thickness; 3/4" actual thickness) red oak using this Makita drill using both a 3" diameter brad point Forstener bit with a sawtooth edge and a 3" diameter drill bit piloted saw blade style hole saw and found it to be a very risky procedure (think sudden unexpected kick back of the drill). I had already assembled the project to the point where I could not place the piece to be drilled on my drill press. Were I to need to do this again, I would plan the project so that the hole could be drilled on my drill press with the piece securely fastened to the table with C-clamps. I don't know how precise your holes need to be but with this diameter hole, you might try using a hand held jig saw and cutting the hole freehand or a jig saw with a guide that allows you to cut holes attaching the saw guide to the workpiece with a pivot point (finishing nail or brad which you later remove). An old-fashioned, hand-powered coping saw is also an inexpensive, safe and easy way of cutting large diameter holes but you need to consider the saw's throat depth in relation to hole placement and width of stock. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Yes, I have a black and decker with a 3/8" chuck and works great. I have little to no wood working skills and this tool made me feel like a pro. Great choice, have fun!

I dont c a reason why you couldn't It depends how sharp your drill bit is. :-) it isnt super thick, it isnt a big safe. I woukd start with a thin bit than increase the size making bigger holes each time.

This is a quality machine that I use for woodworking. I have drilled a variety of holes with brad-point, Forstner, and twist bits with success. I have not measured the runout since all of my results have so far been satisfactory. The smallest diameter bit I use is a 1/16" twist bit which is held securely.

Cedar would not be a factor in depth. The depth would be reliant on how far down the cutter is set, the length of the spindle in the chuck and the circumference of the hole (a smaller hole will hit the back end of the cutter bar when you reach that height). Unless you have cedar thicker than two inches and are making holes smaller than two you should be fine. However if that is your goal a Fostner bit would be more practical.

These are made for wood and they are excellent for that, but I have used them to make holes on metal studs as well (thin metal) it takes some pressure though. I would, however, recommend you get metal specific drill bits which are more proper for drilling in metal since that is what you seem to be looking for.

That would be very tight, I doubt it would. I drilled a 3/16 I think, and it worked very good.

It worked very good for me. No overheating. But please make sure you use a good bit. Look for some brands like Bosch, Metabo etc. Actually I beleve that bit is more important than drill.

Hello; The bit that I have fits into a 3/8 drill easily. I believe my bit is the same bit you are asking about. Good luck.

I have a standard household type cordless drill. It's 3/8 chuck. It didn't work, and so I either had to return it or buy a new drill. I didn't feel like buying a new drill. I returned it and I'll get something smaller. Unless you are sure you have a heavy-duty type drill, check it before you order this.

I suggest you read the description better and listen to the other answers. These are very small and precise bits not meant for drilling.

Yes, I am very satisfied with the drilling machine. It is heavy but very sturdy and precize, stays nicely firm in the hands and due to the weight it is easier to excersise more pressure. I drill all possible things, mostly wood and can recomend that one.

if i was going to try i would get a separate set of just drill bits, anything steel alloy seems to get good ratings, and i would drill a hole before running these through something that thick, one inch would be about the max, since the bits are only a few inches long and the threading teeth start about a half inch in. Just keep in mind any expensive small drill bits will still break if you don't take your time working with metal.

I use with a 3/8th inch drill. It does not fit perfectly. I think it would fit either one but has a square neck and I have to stop and tighten every now and then. I use it to mix clay and when it is working, it does a great job. Actually, don't think it fits either. I do like mine but wish it was a better fit.

You can use this to cut speaker holes or you can also use a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade in it. It all depends upon the thickness of the wood and the size or dimension of the hole. For instance a drill may be preferable for 2-3" holes or smaller. I hope this has answered your question.

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