Introduction:
It is crucial not to get stuck using a handheld drill in hard-to-reach locations when the cuts of a magnetic drill machine are more accurate and easily repeatable. A magnetic drill is perfect for all sorts of heavy-duty drilling applications that need you to drill into magnetic materials like steel. These industrial drills include a wide range of features that are quite handy since you can find the following things in a different magnetic drill.
If you need a magnetic drill for heavy-duty applications, you can pick one from the best magnetic drill presses mentioned in this article. We have even mentioned their major features and options along with a detailed “Buying Guide” so that you can buy the perfect one for you after going through this article until the end.
The first consideration before taking a decision is the characteristics of the magnetic drill itself, you must consider the drill size, Motor speed, and power consumption
Drill Size: The most important factor to consider while buying a magnetic drill press is the maximum drill size. While some drills can drill holes of up to 1 ½ inch in diameter, better models can even go up to 2 inches in diameter for heavy-duty use.
Motor Speed: Since these magnetic drill presses use an electric motor for the drill, they have a motor speed rating. This rating can range anywhere from 450 RPM to up to 650 RPM, where a higher motor speed results in a better performance.
Power Consumption: As these electric drill presses are made for heavy-duty applications, they can consume a lot of power. While some models are rated at 1300 watts or 1400 watts, more efficient ones might use just 1000 watts of power.
Magnetic drilling machine is an easy and conveniently transported drilling machine with a magnetic base. They are tools used to drill holes on metals. This tool features components that make drilling holes to metals successful. A magnetic drilling machine is a faster and more portable alternative to hole making machines such as the drill press, and is more accurate than a hand drill. A portable magnetic drilling machine is used on steel or other magnetic materials. It gives an accuracy of 0.01 mm to 0.05mm in steel or other magnetic material. The drill bits used for these machines are generally made from high-speed steel or are tungsten carbide tipped.
It could use twist drill bits, annular cutters, milling cutters, and other rotary cutters. With the right bits, it can also tap threads, ream, and countersink. Magnetic drilling machines with reversible motor and variable speed controls can also perform operations like tapping, countersink and reaming.
Drilling is not only dangerous but also a crafty job too, hence drilling or fabricating something requires more concentration.
The Different Types of Magnetic Drills used in Nigeria
Popular forms of magnetic drilling machine include:
- Pneumatic
Pneumatic core drilling machines are used where there is a danger of explosion or fire due to electrical sparking. The motor is driven by compressed air and the magnet is a permanent magnet instead of an electromagnet.
- Cordless
Battery operated magnetic core drilling machines are used for a workplace where there is no electricity. The motor is driven by a rechargeable battery. The magnet for these machines is either an electromagnet or a permanent magnet.
- Light weight
Light weight magnetic drills are very popular to perform several operations where the weight of a machine to carry is a great concern like working on an electric pole, mobile tower, TV tower, bridge, etc.
- Horizontal
Horizontal magnetic core drilling machines with angular gears are made for confined drilling situations.
- Automatic and semi-automatic feed
Magnetic core drilling machines with fully and semi-automatic drill feed are very popular these days. These machines help in saving time and energy and resulting in more production.
