Mag Drills

What are Magnetic Base Drills?

Magnetic Base Drills are designed for drilling holes with annular cutters, twist drills, counter-bores, countersinks and step drills in an industrial environment. The machine is held onto a magnetisable surface using its electro-magnetic base. The drills can be used vertically, horizontally and upside down, provided the magnetic adhesion and work environment allow.



How do they work?

Magnetic base drills can be used on a vertical surface or upside down provided there is sufficient magnetic adhesion. Extra care should be taken when drilling vertically or upside down. When using the machine vertically or upside down it is possible hot and sharp chips may fall. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
