How accurate are magnetic drills?

Magnetic drills are accurate between 0.005mm and 0.001mm when using annular cutters. This is an exceptional level of accuracy, suited to both personal and professional projects. Their heightened accuracy when compared to similar drills makes them a popular choice for those needing to drill through tough metals with pinpoint precision. 

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 number of holes that you’ll be drilling 
  • The type of annular cutter you’ll be using
