Is torque or rpms most important when buying a drill?

the torque is that is where all your power is it doesnt matter how fast the drill spins if it has no torque. That's why impact drills are so good cause they have alot of torque but don't spin as fast. But your should get a drill with alot of torque and a high number of amps per hour


What is more important torque or revolutions per minute?

They are both equally important in different scenarios. I don't know what you are talking about specifically, but on a drill RPMs are important when drilling through softer material to go faster, while torque is important on harder materials that can make the drill skip or freeze up otherwise.


What is 4 inch drill pipe torque up to?

A 4 inch drill pipe torque is used for fishing in small casing.


Customer want to buy a drill and ask you if torque or revolutions per minute is more important?

Depends on what materials they are normally going to be using it on. Softer materials, such as wood products or soft metals, I'd suggest to get a drill with high rpm's. But if they are going to be using it to drill hard substances then I would direct them towards a drill with a higher torque, as this will help to avoid the drill freezing up or skipping on the materials.


What is more important torque or RPMs in power tools?

It depends on the tool. In a large drill press, torque is more important. In a small edge trimmer router, rpm is more important. In a large plunge router both are of equal importance.


What is the major difference between a high-speed and a high-torque drill?

The speed of a drill is defined as how many RPM's of the chuck. The TORQUE of a drill is defined as how many "ft/lbs" the chuck can transfer to a drill bit. Imagine the drill has a pulley connected to the chuck and the pulley has a radius of 1 ft. Connect a string to the pulley and see how much weight the drill can lift. If the drill could lift 25 pounds using that 1 ft radius pulley, it is developing 25 ft/lbs of torque. The weight may be lifted very slowly or very rapidly, depending on the RPM's of the chuck, but the torque will be determined by how much weight the drill would lift. Both are important characteristics of a drill. If the motor is weak, the manufacturer may use gearing to provide more torque, but if the chuck is turning slowly, you won't get much work done. If the motor is larger, the manufacturer may not need to use gearing to give you the same torque.

no


How are hand held drill different from drill presses?

Hand drills are hand held and so have less torque than drill presses. Drill presses are generally better for drilling very hard materials,or for drilling multiple holes by using a jig.


What does the voltage and torque of a drill have to do with mixing the cement?

The drill has to have enough torque to mix the concrete. To do it very well at all a 3/4 inch or 1 inch is probably needed. If mixing sand mix a good 1/2 inch could probably be used.
