Pretty much any drill will work on softwoods and plywood. With dense hardwoods a robust drill is better. I also use a dry lube on the drill bit. The faster the drill the cleaner the bit will cut. My favorite is the DeWalt 1/2" 20volt V-max in drill mode. Driving long screws in dense wood the hammer function comes in handy. I use the Kreg system a lot.

I use my Ryobi 18V drill. I keep it on drill mode for the initial hole and then dial it down to around 6-8 lowest settings when doing the screws. If you leave your torque too high you'll break through your board. That's more of an issue with plywood than dimensional lumber. I glue my seems though it isn't necessarily needed.

Any standard drill electric or battery operated, rechargeable, variable speed, all will work ok!

I just used the one supplied with the machine It has no speed on it just whatever your drill's speed is. hope this helps you I saw them in Home Depot and they were all the same so just buy one of those they only come in one size that I can see .hope this helps..... I think they cost around 10 or 12 $'

I never gave it a thought. . . . I use a 5/8th variable speed. Never had a problem.

The drill bit is reasonably heavy - my high speed electric drill worked best. My battery operated one wasn't as good. Hope this helps.

Hello Harold,Using 3/16" drill works fine.I would not use any drill larger due to possible strain on motor. Best regards, Paul

Yes, it's a great drill. Check the prices at the big box hardware stores. You will come back and order this one!

I use mine with an electric drill and have had no issues both at low and high rpm. I guess my only concern with an electric drill would be if you had a lot of standing water and had to work while standing in it, but that is not a problem I have had to deal with.

I believe is drill would not be the one for that small of a bit, you may need to go to a flex drive with a stationary mount motor so you don't have to hold so much I your hand to control such a fragil bit.

I must also add that you should not press hard on the drill while drilling because it'll only pressure the drill. Take your time and use it.

I think this refers to RPM. 60 TO 100 for example. Thickness and kind of material will dictate maximum speed for best results. Slower speed for thicker material, faster speed for thinner material. Also, look up "drill speed."

My husband, whom I bought the drill for, says torque is not related to speed, and he doesn't think this drill is fast enough or the battery long enough lasting to do much pumping. They are designed for short bursts, not continual running.

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.

You could use a regular drill to drive this tool, but you won't get the high speed or more precise handling of the dremel-type tool. Note the "Dremel-TYPE"; any brand of high speed tool will work. Harbor Freight sells a decent Dremel-type tool at a reasonable price.

This drills does well in rotary mode. It is a large and heavy tool. A smaller, maybe battery powered, drill would be more practical for everyday use.

I fhave a standard cordless drill. It just fits in the chuck and I tighten it and off I go. As I recall you should only go in the clockwise/tighten direction. Its easy. And it works very well.

These bits are for concrete drilling. You will need a drill that will be able to take a 1/2" shank for larger bits . If you're drilling many holes go with heavy duty electric hammer drill. If you're a homeowner go with heavy duty hammer drill 18 volt or above. Hammer drills take a beating don't waste your money on cheaper models. Go with any heavy duty model bosch hammer drill either electric or 18 volt cordless and you will be able to use these bits.

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.

Don't abuse your high speed (low torque) tool with such a large bit. Use a drill for more power. They don't make an adapter to fit such a large shaft. (The Dremel chuck accessory fits perfectly and I recommend it but it doesn't fit larger than 1/8" either.)

Any standard sized drill bit. If it's too small for the chuck to hold, it's too small to be putting in a drill with this much power and weight, you'll break the bit if you cough. :)

i used the 5/16 bit and then used a deep socket 15mm attached to a power drill (with a spacer in the deep socket to keep pressure) and went slow. They drove in fine and no leaks. Wonderful.
