How accurate is a Magnetic Drill?

Averaging an accuracy of between 0.005mm and 0.001mm when drilling through steel, Mag Drills offer some of the most accurate metal drilling you’ll find on the market. Their stability and durability give users the spot-on precision they need time after time.

Who uses a Magnetic Drill?

Countless construction companies and other large businesses where metalwork is involved take advantage of Mag Drill benefits every day. But they can also be used by independent workers or other individuals.

How big of a hole can you drill with a Magnetic Drill?

Evolution Magnetic Drills feature annular cutters capable of drilling holes up to 50mm in width, depending on your choice of model and accessories.

Which Magnetic Drill do I need?

This depends on what you’re working on. Determining factors in which Mag Drill to use include hole diameter, drill depth, number of holes, work environment, and more. If you’re unsure, get in touch with us at Evolution - we’d be happy to help guide you.

Can magnetic drill magnets overheat?

Yes, if the drill is left on for a very long time. So it’s important to leave time between drilling jobs or run the risk of causing damage to both the magnet and the machine. Some magnetic drills, however, are equipped with cooling technology to prevent overheating. Be sure to check the specifications of your chosen machine to see if your magnetic drill carries this feature.

Can I use a magnetic drill at different angles?

Portable magnetic drills can drill vertically, horizontally or overhead. Their lightweight nature and strong magnetic capabilities give them a distinct advantage over similar drills as they can be positioned and fixed into place to suit almost any metalwork drilling job.

How do I choose a magnetic drill?

When choosing a specific magnetic drill, you’ll need to take several variables into account:

  • The diameter of the hole you’re drilling
  • The type of material that is to be drilled
  • The thickness of the material
  • The number of holes that you’ll be drilling 
  • The type of annular cutter you’ll be using

If this is your first magnetic drill, speak to one of our power tool experts. They’ll give you all the help you need to make an educated decision.
