A magnetic drill is a portable drilling tool equipped with a powerful electromagnetic base, allowing it to securely attach to steel and other ferromagnetic surfaces for precision drilling.

Magnetic drills are primarily designed for ferromagnetic metals, such as steel plates, H-beams, and channel steel.

Core Drills, Hole Saws: ideal for larger diameter holes (12-100mm), offering high efficiency and reduced cutting resistance.

Twist Drill Bits: suitable for smaller holes (typically 10-16mm), requiring a special drill chuck.

Tapping Bits: used for thread cutting (tapping).

When selecting a magnetic drill, consider material compatibility and workspace constraints. Different workpiece materials require specific drills and cutting parameters. For hard alloy steel or stainless steel, choosing the right drill bit and cutting settings is crucial. In tight or complex spaces, ensure the magnetic drill is compact and maneuverable for easy operation.

Keep the magnetic base clean by removing dust, oil, and metal shavings to maintain optimal adhesion.
Regularly clean the motor and check carbon brush wear, replacing worn-out brushes as needed.
Select the appropriate drill bit for the task and install it correctly. After use, clean metal shavings from the drill bit and apply anti-rust treatment to extend its lifespan.

Turn off the motor, ensure the slug (drilled material) has ejected, and remove all metal shavings and debris from the cutting tool and around the magnetic base.
