Evolution EVOMAG42 Guide: Capacity, Fit and Buying Checks
Evolution EVOMAG42 is a larger-capacity alternative to the S28MAG when a single-speed corded machine suits the work. This is a specification-based buying guide, not a hands-on test. Use the exact model number and the required hole dimensions to decide whether it belongs on your shortlist.

What the documented specification tells you
Included coolant tank system. The published minimum plate thickness is 0.375 inches.
- Power: 120V 60Hz, 10A
- Annular diameter: 1.625 inches maximum
- Cutting depth: 2 inches maximum
- Speed: 450 no-load; one speed
- Cutter interface: 3/4-inch
- Base: electromagnetic
When it belongs on your shortlist
The EVOMAG42 extends the hole diameter range without introducing the battery planning of a cordless drill. It belongs on the shortlist when the required annular hole is larger than the S28MAG allows but no larger than 1-5/8 inches. If you regularly alternate cutter types and materials, compare speed selection on competing drills before giving extra capacity all the weight.
A recurring mixture of 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch holes is a reason to compare this machine with other drills in its capacity class. A recurring 2-inch hole requirement is a reason to move to a larger class immediately. Once diameter fits, study the available space around the hole: base placement and feed-handle access can eliminate a seemingly suitable machine before price becomes relevant.

Check AmazonThe limitation to check first
The US product page lists one speed, not two. Do not import a speed range from a different Evolution machine. Its chuck accessory information also distinguishes the chuck from the HTA47 adapter; confirm what the exact package contains before buying a twist-drill accessory.
Questions, answered
Does the EVOMAG42 have variable speed?
The current US specification lists one no-load speed of 450 RPM. It should not be represented as a variable-speed or two-speed machine.
