2011 Dewalt Supliers.

I've drilled a couple of the powder metal gears with regular jobber drills, just go slow and make liberal use of coolant. Sharp drill bits go a long way and don't forget to center drill.

In my experience the DeWalt transmissions can handle far more abuse than any motor can dish out. In 2005 I made a transmission that used two FP motors, it snapped a case-hardened Thomson drive-shaft without even trying. They are capable of 50+ lb*ft of torque reliably.
