Fixed runout/wobble on Milwaukee drill with Röhm chuck
Вставка

- Here's my Milwaukee M18 Fuel hammer drill 2804-20 that previously had nasty runout/wobble. Check out this video for a "before": • Excessive runout/wobbl...
In a last-ditch effort before throwing down the money for something like Fein I picked up a Röhm chuck... and this is the result. This is a MASSIVE improvement.
Note that there are several different models, and you need to make sure you pick the one with the right spindle size:
- Newer drills have a 9/16"-18 spindle and need Extra50-RV13 Röhm 1322450 amzn.to/3cAWCYF
- Older ones used a 1/2"-20" spindle and need Extra80-RV13 Röhm 1328310 amzn.to/3veUJHk
Watching this video 3 years later with a brand new m18 drill with massive runout.
4th-gen 2904-20, too?
Here with the m12, I’m a weekend hobby mechanic and can’t believe the runout on this shit!
I've become obsessed with removing the wobble from my drills. I recently bought a $200 hammer drill and was very happy with it. No wobble at all. Then I used it on metal and noticed the beginnings of a wobble. It's only a month old. I'll have to check this out.
I bought 2 drills with the same problem, been 3 times back for repair… never got fixed. That was 7 years ago, now bought again new drill same sh17, original chucks wobble like crazy. I dont get it how Milwaukee can sell tools like that. Thanks for the tip, on my way to buy Rohm chuck
Fun fact: my Parkside performance (European supermarket brand's "premium" offering) came with Rhom chuck :)
Just don't over open it. And if you ever open it too much: slight turn clockwise, and twist it backwards suddenly. Don't try to force it, or you would have to disassemble it. Just had to do that, but it's fine now :)
There is nothing premium on parkside. Not even their “premium” offerings.
I have an older Milwaukee 2601-20, maybe 10 years old. I only noticed the wobble over the last couple years - I think I used to not care, because I was doing mostly woodworking without a lot of precision. Now I'm doing metalworking and some precision woodworking, and the wobble is driving me nuts. I replaced the chuck with a Rohm last week, but the wobble is still there. MUCH nicer chuck than the plastic Milwaukee provided, but I suspect something deeper is awry. Looking on the bright side - I have an excellent chuck if I decide to get a newer Milwaukee... which I'll probably do because I'm invested in their ecosystem.
I've used 18v Bosch drills for about 6 yars now and they all have Rohm chucks which I've never had a problem with.
I recently had the same thing happen. I have a compact brushless drill I sent back for excessive wobble. They replaced the chuck, but wobble was still there. Good to know that a Rohm chuck will help, but I wish there was a solution that didn't require spending more money on an already expensive drill.
The chuck is less than $40 on amazon.
Milwaukee originally included that chuck as a factory item when the drills were made in germany back in two thousand one. When they started making them in china, it was on downhill from there.
Fortunately, matabo includes that chuck on their new German make drills. So I got rid of all my Milwaukee stuff.
Had the same exact experience as you had.. I'm glad I found your video and recommendation. 👍
Great video. Glad to see someone else cares. I think tti don’t care because a lot of trades just make do. But broken fasteners and worn out bits are just two of the issues that cost the user and lower productivity.
Definitely one of my big pet peeves
Most newer Bosch drills come installed with a Rohm chuck, but many still seem to have this wobble from what I've seen... it's strange.
Can I get the link on Rohm? Thanks
My brand new Milwaukee Fuel Hammer Drill has the worst run out I’ve ever seen. My previous Makitas were not this bad. Not okay for high end drill
Is that model reliable? Does it overheats?
Milwaukee need to take note!! The run out isn't acceptable on a pro grade tool as they advertise it to be.
What do you want? All drills are the same. I noticed that early years of Ryobi and Bosch were most precise in terms of run-out. Now there is no difference, as they are all made in several small towns or villages in China.
@@Taoism_new Where was Ryobi made before?
I have the same 2804 drill. Which Rohm do I need?
Hello maybe you know which rohm chuck to use for milwaukee 2801? Rohm 1/2-20 or 9/16 - 18? Thanks
I've been using the Rohm for the last year and after some hard use, it has some pretty bad runout now. Not happy.
I have a 2804-20, J77AF2138 41413 Milwaukee. How do I know which spindle I have? 9/16-18 or 1/2-20 Thanks Bob
What is the chuck you used i cannot find and specs to change it on the m18fdp2 and its driving me insane!
This worries me, as I'm about to buy a new drill and I've been reading up on this problem across all the big name manufacturers: Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt, etc. I wonder whether all of these companies get their chucks from the same factory in China?
Anyway, will the Röhm chuck fit all of the big name brand drills? Thanks for the video.
Not from the same factory, but from different ones located at different villages or towns. So yes, it is funny seeing people are comparing quality of these "name brands", in fact they are all made in remote areas across mainland China.
That is true👍my Makita have the same problem, what buy...Festool maybe🤔
So what Rohm chuck did you use for the drill? My drill is 4 years old and is getting difficult to tighten. I was drilling with a spade bit and the spade bit started to spin inside the chuck and im pretty sure the chuck has metal shavings everywhere which is making it get stuck
Does this chuck have a slight fogging feel? Kinda like a mouse wheel.
How did you remove the old chuck please
What screw did you use to bolt the new rohm chuck to drill body ? The original milwakuee one ?
Yes its the same
I fixed it too. I returned it and bought a Dewalt.
what size allen key?
Swapped to a rhom chuck and I still have about the same runout. Any other ideas?
Can you test with different drill bits to make sure it's not the bit itself being bent?
Does the Röhm chuck have the ratcheting feature
Yes but it's different sounding, and more secure.
Yes
I just got the milw 12v and I hate to say it, but the chuck sucks ass. While I picked this up to go with my other 12v stuff, AND have Milw. tools going back to the 70s, I'm pretty pissed off about this one.
Runout is crazy on my aeg (tti) tools. Terrible Chinese manufacturing.
Yeah this is standard with Milwaukee tools and all of the pillowbiters who exclaim in unison “I Only buy Milwaukee” or the “I’m a Milwaukee loyalist for Life!” will try and have you believe that it’s normal for a drill of this alleged class to have runout and wobble because it’s a “Contractors Tool, not a Machinists!”
Bullshit. I expect my drills, drill presses, bandsaws, table saws, miter saws, chop saws and even my fkn Drill Bits to be Square, Straight, Sharp, and Solid, Period.
I actually just returned a Milwaukee tool and got the M18 Fuel Hammer Drill with the two 5 amp batteries, and when you go to use it, it looks like Michael J Fox is operating the drill.
Just absolutely unacceptable.
I’m SO PISSED off that I had to spend half the price of the drill on a new chuck, simply cause Milwaukee makes their shit in china now … I should have spent my money on all my tools on makita, the only company still making ALL their stuff in Japan or the USA
Unfortunately, almost everything from Bosch to Makita to Hilti is made in China, but unfortunately not only tools. Here in Europe you don't find many "Made in Germany", "Made in Liechtenstein", "Made in Japan" and "Made in USA" labels anymore. Of course there are some excellent Chinese manufacturers, but these products are not cheap.
