Is this drill strong enough to drill a hole through a wood board?

Yes but not for real hard hard woods it's good for small jobs and softer woods like pine and oak.

We have used it for cutting plywood and 2 by 4's and have only had success. Great drill for all our small projects. Have not used it for major things.

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.

strong enough to hold a screw yes.but this tool is not for me the front end is to big not good for tight spots. And i work up high often and if you should push the front of the tool the bit pops out not good

Depends how thick it is or how deep you want to drill. I would say shallow holes yes but anything deeper than a half inch no.

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.

Haven't tried that but it should work - the back of the unit is flat. Not sure if the wood might split when drilling..?

I don't think this backboard is suitable for what you want to do. This one is more like a hard plastic but I doubt it's thick enough to hold onto a screw / bolt after drilling. A wooden board might be best.

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 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.

Yes , The pins are strong enough. They do not need to penetrate very far to get an accurate reading. Keep in mind to get the best reading , freshly split the wood an then test.

Without knowing what drill press you are looking at putting it on, I wouldn't be able to tell you. However, based on the horsepower requirements to use this attachment to drill through hard wood, I would say it would not be a good idea.

Yes, those bits will work in this screwdriver. The screwdriver comes with a flathead screw bit and a phillipshead screw bit.No. This is a relatively low RPM screwdriver and is not intended for drilling. It may drill holes in thin soft wood with the second set of bits you identified, but I would not expect to have satisfactory performance since it is really a screwdriver, not an electric drill.

Not very safely. The device is unbalanced and thus it would be incredibly difficult to hold the drill steady enough to have this drill effectively. A drill press would be the only safe way to use this bit.

I would think so. It is not what I would consider heavy duty but it is very good light to medium duty drill.and the battery is holding up well.

The correct answer depends on the question you ask. The power of the drill motor is the major determinant as to what the drill can do. However the question you ask does not indicate if the hole is 14" diameter or if it is the depth of the hole. Other factor are the conditions of the bit, sharpness and diameter, the lubrication. Another big factor is what material is the bit penetrating. If it is wood and the bit size is limited to the maximum normal chuck capacity it might penetrate most plastics. This drill is powerful enough to do that.

Hi, it's not made to drill little holes but if you do it slowly and they are small holes, you should be okay. Hope this helps.
