XL with Acrylic Guard

The Drillnado XL works excellent for me. It collects virtually every piece of dust and chips. I have tried it with small twist bits as small as 7/64"... up to 1" forstner bits. Even with the 1" bit, it sucked up every bit of chips! I have a 2.5" dust collection hose hooked up from the drill press to my main collection line which goes to 4" and then 6" further down the line. I am using a 3HP stationary Grizzly dust collector. I installed a separate blast gate specifically for the drill press, which probably makes a difference when all other gates are closed and only that one open. The suction is amazing. So far I have no complaints about this product. Finally good dust collection for the drill press!

Pros:Solid attachment to drill.Simple to detach bib for drill changes (but see below).Good suction.Cons:Flimsy bib — they send an extra one and I see why.Removing the bib to change bits invariably means lowering the table. Annoying but worse if you’re set up for consistent depth cuts.I may do a diy replacement with HVAC parts that can be permanently mounted.

I have a WEN 4225 8.6-Amp Variable Speed Floor Standing Drill Press, 15-Inch. This cannot be installed without removal of the drill stop. No big deal I guess, since it's easy to put back on if I need that feature. Other than that it still doesn't fit the greatest. It also doesn't seem all that durable for the price. If I had to do it over again I'd skip this and make my own shop vac attachment.

The Drillnado was easy to install on my Delta drill press and is easily removed when changing bits. It has worked well with Forstner bits, brad point bits and regular twist bits.

I little overpriced for what it is...in my opinion, I think a competitor in this market would lower their price significantly.Though fit and finish of this product are pretty good, it still relies on a "snap in fit" at the bottom (white section) instead of a bayonet style lock into place. I think that sooner or later, depending on use of the drillpress, you will experience failure of that snap fit. I would certainly prefer a bayonet style lock so it doesnt wear out as fast...

I love it. Dust collection is a huge problem in a woodshop and one of the worst culprits is the drill press. I was skeptical but Drillnado works like a champ. I have a tabletop Jet model JDP-15M which has a depth stop and the Drillnado fits like a glove. I cut a few holes with a spade bit that would ordinarily fling the shavings 360 degrees and the Drillnado got all of it.

Bellows on xl model fits too loosely requiring more attention during drilling process. Good idea, so-so execution

Was a bit concerned how well this would work with larger forstner bits (1 ½ inch) but was presently surprised that it did very well. The only complaint I have is that the unit on my drill press leaves very little room to get at the check to install and tighten to bits.
