A magnetic drill has a magnetic base that locks onto a steel beam, allowing for precise drilling without movement. It is useful in construction sites and can be used to mill and shape steel. Magnetic drills are affordable and have made cutting torches obsolete.
A magnetic drill is a drill-like machine with a magnetic base. The magnetic base allows you to lock the magnetic drill onto a vertical steel beam while drilling. This allows the operator to drill or bore holes at even spacing without wobble due to drill movement. While mounted on a steel beam, the drill operates without movement, where a typical hand drill might have a propensity for movement. The electromagnetic base is controlled by turning a switch to turn the magnets on or off.
The strong clamping power of the magnetic drill allows the operator to be as precise as a surgeon when drilling. In situations like repairing a safe lock, the tiniest movement or a fractional miscalculation of where to punch could potentially render the safe useless. By using a magnetic drill, the drill is sure to stay locked in the exact position the operator sees fit.
Often on construction sites, it is necessary to drill holes in place to fit certain steel beams properly. In these cases, the magnetic drill allows the operator to lock the drill in place and begin the drilling process while moving on to other tasks. The automatic boredom feature of some models allows for this set-it-and-forget mode of operation. Automatic lube dispensers and heavy duty magnets ensure your drill will keep running without incident under most circumstances.
When working overhead on a metal building frame, it is likely that some pieces of iron will not fit into the intended location as indicated by the design. In a situation like this, the magnetic drill can be fitted with a bit and used to mill and shape steel until it fits. The powerful clamping force of the magnets provides a stable base against which the steel can be pushed to make the necessary cuts. The magnets can be easily released and the drill moved to other locations as needed to fit the steel beams throughout the structure.
The evolution of the magnet has allowed small portable devices like the drill to lock onto a steel structure with a pseudo-permanent grip. By building a lightweight tool, manufacturers have made it easy for companies to be able to afford one magnetic tool for all of their teams. Drills have made cutting torches obsolete in many areas, by drilling clean, properly sized holes in an exact location.
