Magnetic drills (often called mag drills) are the go-to solution for accurate hole making in steel and other ferrous materials. Whether you’re working on-site, in the workshop, or tackling fabrication and construction jobs, a magnetic drill combines portability with serious cutting performance. With a strong magnetic base anchoring the machine directly to the workpiece, you get stability, safety, and pinpoint precision — even in awkward or overhead positions.
Key Benefits
-
Exceptional Stability – Integrated electromagnetic base keeps the drill locked in position for consistent, accurate results.
-
Compact & Portable – Designed to be lightweight enough for on-site work, yet powerful enough for demanding jobs.
-
Versatile Applications – Ideal for structural steel, fabrication, shipbuilding, and maintenance.
-
Time-Saving Efficiency – Rapid drilling with annular cutters reduces effort and increases productivity compared to conventional drilling.
-
Safe Operation – Safety features such as magnetic hold indicators, overload protection, and automatic shut-off keep operators secure.
Applications
Magnetic drills are trusted across industries where steelwork is essential:
-
Structural steel fabrication
-
On-site construction and installation
-
Bridge and infrastructure projects
-
Shipbuilding and offshore engineering
-
Plant and machinery maintenance
Choosing the Right Magnetic Drill
From compact low-profile models for working in tight spaces to high-lift drills for larger holes and deeper cuts, there’s a machine tailored to every application. Key factors to consider include:
-
Magnet Strength – Ensures the machine holds securely on your workpiece.
-
Motor Power – Determines cutting speed and capacity.
-
Cutter Capacity & Depth – Match the tool to your required hole sizes.
-
Weight & Portability – Balance power with ease of handling on site.
