Hey buddy, thank you for commenting first of all. I have used this drill extensively and it hasn't missed a beat. Certainly is very capable machine. Even more so, I suggested we get one at my workplace. I hope this helps in your purchase, however I have no experience of the 1100w version.
Ive just acquired a set of these 12 , 14 ,16 ,18,20,22 mm great for drilling 80x 80 X 3 mm box section but that odd annoying peice gets stuck inside the cutter the spring loaded centre just sometimes struggles to eject the centre after cutting any tips ??
Hi Mark and welcome. Thanks for commenting and watching. So I use a centre finder pin in cutters, not a pilot drill, sure yours will be the same too. I put another spring into give it a bit more pop for when the slug has been cut. Generally a couple of taps with a light hammer normally gets them out. Never had one stuck stuck yet though. That's just my experience. Hope it helps bud 👍
For through holes above half an inch and not too deep, annular cutters are definitely the best option available. On a mill with NC, you can just use circular interpolation to open large hole no problem, but otherwise your options are a holesaw (fine for shallow holes,but a pain for anything much more than a half inch), a boring head (time consuming and kind of finicky), or suffering through driving a, say, 1" drill through the material, which is never pleasant. It's strange they haven't made much of an impact on the market outside of magdrilling applications.
I agree with everything you say. I will say that using blacksmiths drillbits are and seem dangerous when they grab in material but also are time consuming. Got to go up in increments and I haven't the time for that 😅 annular cutters are nice as are hole saws. I use the bosch quick connect ones and are really good. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I was wanting to build a squat rack very similar to the brand VERVE. 75x75x3mm square hollow tubing. I found an annular cutter that is 75mm long and was looking at using that with an arbor adaptor to fit my drill press just for ease of use and speed of drilling. That way I can go straight through both ends. Thoughts?
@@bakedjohnwick4793 my team leader wanted me to build him one too, not same as Verve but something else over here. I said we could do it for sure. The joy with the drill press is you get a lot more extension than a mag drill so if you've got an extension on the annular cutter then it will go all the way through. I think you'd be OK doing it. As long as your drill press has good torque. But remember slowly slowly with plenty of cutting spray will help your cutter last longer. Hope it helps. If you require anything more, let us know in a comment and I'll get a video sorted 👍
I am glad you've watched my video and made your mind up. The drill press for me has been invaluable and has definitely helped me more than enough. I feel a mag drill wouldn't have been practical for what I needed it for.
A mag drill has its uses that a drill press isn’t possible to use. But if your only drilling on small items that can be clamped under a drill press then you don’t need one
Mag drill won't hold onto anything under a certain thickness it's mainly for thick metals 5mm+ I have a Jei mini beast but it only does up to 35mm through 50mm max and I currently need 50mm and 60mm holes but I'm not sure I want to break my new sealey radial pillar drill by over doing it with 60mm annular cutter😂
Hi Stan and thanks for your comment. I just went on ebay and put annular cutter adapter in and got one to suit my morse taper of the pillar drill. However I'm unsure what they have for a 3 jaw chuck on there. Worth a look though. Are you sure your drill press has no taper chuck on it ?
What's the purpose of that sprung pin in the middle? Is it hard enough to make a center mark to prevent walking of the cutter? If not, did you center drill first? Can hear/see that motor working. Careful loading the motor of your drill press, melted mine using a big ol' step drill in aluminum without even fully stalling it. Thanks for the video, always to fun to see home shopers experimenting.
Hi Alex.K and thank you for watching first of all. The purpose of the spring loaded pin is exactly what you said. So you would centre pop your place where you are drilling and then align that pin with that popped mark. Equally if you wanted to, you could pilot drill the place your wanting to hole saw out but make sure the pilot holes is same or slightly smaller that the pin other wise you won't know exactly where your drilling if its precise work. The motor does sound strained but once you get the cutter cutting just right, the whole process is very easy on the machine and cutter. It's very satisfying when it goes through with any chatter. Thank again for stopping by and as ever I appreciate the comment.
@@SegoMan that is very true, however on the pillar drill I don't have that adapter like the mag drills do. Them coolant adapters make the difference like. Thanks for your comment 👍🙂
Probably the machine, the belts may not have been tight enough for the torque required. They work well, however I also like the bosch hole saws too. They're hardcore too
@@makeinmaruthi9927 yes you can no problem. The Pillar drill handles It no problem at all. As long as your pillar drill has various speed settings to allow you to find the right speed for the bits.
Thank you AV for the comment. First of all you need to know what taper fitting your drill press takes. On mine I'm sure it's a MT3 which is the morse taper 3 fit. So I bought a MT3 annular cutter adapter. Hope this helps and thanks again for your comment 👍
Quite simply, id not heard of many or any people using annular cutters in drill presses because they dont have enough torque for the drilling application.
Hi Nick - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Every day is a school day, I'd never come across those cutters. Surely it would be possible to easily convert your new toy to wet drilling. Would it not be worth the effort?
Hi big rodders. Yes your right, the table has a drain hole in place for wet drilling application, however when cutting with some of these hole cutters the swarf flies everywhere and would splash my surrounding area with coolant. So until I get my garage or workshop finished then I'll stick with the spray cutting fluid. The aerosol cutting fluid isn't that bad to be fair. I can get the fluid right to where it is needed with the attached straw. Thanks for watching.
@@everydaywithmenick It would work out far cheaper if you buy some soluble oil and mix it about 15 parts water to 1 part oil. I use it in an Oasis bottle with a 1mm hole in the lid. Works a treat. I drill loads on my pillar drill and radial drill with this method.
@@grumpyone5963 I have heard of that soluble oil, however I have an abundant supply of that cutting fluid so that's pretty OK for me. Thank you for your recommendation.
Lovely cutters are these, sometimes torn between the Anular cutters and the bosch hole saw but often go with Bosch hole saws as they're sold at the local Screwfix stores here in UK Thank you for commenting 👍
Hey bud, I will once the shop has a designated place for it. At the moment it's an absolute pig mess. I didn't bolt it so it could be moved for longer stock to be drilled. Thanks for your comment though 😊
Hi
I’m considering getting the 1100w SIP 01717. How are you getting on with your SIP drill ?

@@everydaywithmenick legend!!! Appreciate it my man. Starting the plans now haha
I was about to spend some $$$ on a Mag DRill but after seeing this video changed my mid. Going for the drill press, which is more practical.

What do you think of these ? Yes there was some chatter here and there but majority of the cut was smooth.
So where did you find an adapter for your drill press. Im in need of one that fits a 3 jaw chuck. As my drillpress does not have a morse taper.

@@everydaywithmenick It also controls the coolant flow if you have the right adapter.
@@SegoMan that is very true, however on the pillar drill I don't have that adapter like the mag drills do. Them coolant adapters make the difference like. Thanks for your comment 👍🙂
Why slip and stack in drilling operation. which is problem Machine or Annular .

@@bakedjohnwick4793 no problem, just replied to your other comment too 👍
@@everydaywithmenick Can you tell me where you bought it?
@Ralph Biggs which part buddy ? I'm sure most of the parts came of ebay buddy
The adapters are widely available and have been for a long time. How would this be a “myth”

Does the job just need adapter
Yes it does a really good job. Could spend serious money on annular cutters though. What adapter you referring ?
Got same press
Bolt your machine tools to a concrete floor.
Hey bud, I will once the shop has a designated place for it. At the moment it's an absolute pig mess. I didn't bolt it so it could be moved for longer stock to be drilled. Thanks for your comment though 😊
