FEIN JME ShortSlugger II: Capacity, RPM & Package
FEIN's current JME ShortSlugger II page does not provide one clean diameter answer: its technical data lists 1-1/4 inches while the application section says metal core drilling up to 1-3/16 inches. Treat 1-3/16 inches as the conservative planning boundary until FEIN confirms the exact cutter and application, then compare the 23.81-pound machine, labeled speeds and complete package.

FEIN lists the drill, coolant tank, safety strap, chip hook, pilot pin, chip guard and case for product 72709461090. Verify the seller package rather than transferring that list to every offer. FEIN does not publish a minimum mounting thickness in this product-page record, so the workpiece still needs approval from the exact operating instructions.
- Power: 1,200 W input and 770 W output for US product 72709461090

- Cutting depth: 2 inches maximum
- Speed: 700 no-load; 450 full-load
- Cutter interface: 3/4-inch straight shank
- Stroke: 3-9/16 inches; weight: 23.81 pounds
- Base: 2,248-pound listed holding force with indicator
Use the lower published diameter when the two FEIN statements conflict
The technical table's 1-1/4-inch figure and application copy's 1-3/16-inch figure are both on FEIN's current page. They are not interchangeable. A required hole above 1-3/16 inches therefore needs written exact-application confirmation rather than an optimistic reading of the larger field.
A confirmed 1-1/2-inch hole schedule eliminates this model. For smaller schedules, compare its 23.81-pound listed weight with the 31.75-pound JHM USA 101 and then verify the cutter material, shank, depth and package needed for the actual drawing.

FEIN publishes 700 RPM without load and 450 RPM at full load. A comparison table that shows only 450 alongside other machines' no-load figures would be misleading. Also, JME ShortSlugger II is not the earlier JHM ShortSlugger: the exact product number is important when matching manuals and listings.
Questions, answered
Is the JME ShortSlugger II a 450 RPM drill?
FEIN specifies 450 RPM at full load and 700 RPM with no load. Label the operating condition whenever comparing its speed.
