Extreme Precision
Strength needs direction. That’s why every rotabroach magnetic drilling machine is designed and developed to tackle everyday drilling for a range of needs – from 32mm to 100mm cutter size and 35mm to 100mm depth. As the original name in hole-cutting technology, we have innovated with CutSmart® technology – seen on our Element range of tools – which ensures long-lasting machine life without compromising on the power or speed of cutting. With precise readings, strain is immediately reduced for faster, smarter work without signs of weakness.
Strong Grip
Built to succeed in every working environment, all of our magnetic drills use powerful magnetic adhesion to solidly grip and stick to a chosen metal surface. These bases can handle demanding project work, giving workers unstoppable power and portability at height or on rigs. For over 40 years, Rotabroach has been the leader of magnetic drill design and manufacture, combining working knowledge of the sectors we supply with the need to not only improve – but innovate – how industry professionals work.
Small in Size
Small but mighty, our range of magnetic drills promise all the power of a workbench mainstay with easier portability. Our tools are tough, reliable and robust against the hardest metals, housing powerful motors with speed versatility in a compact design. This lightweight technology is just one of the reasons why we are the go-to supplier for multiple sectors, delivering strength against steel on ships, bridges, oil rigs and beyond.
Magnetic Drill FAQs
How does a magnetic drill work?
Mag drills use a magnetic base to adhere to a metal surface, allowing the user to drill holes using an annular cutter or alternative cutting tool.
What is a mag drill used for?
A magnetic drill, or mag drill, is a highly versatile tool designed for drilling precise holes in heavy-duty metal surfaces, commonly utilized in industries like construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing.
What mag drill bit should I use for metal?
Choosing the right mag drill bit depends on the metal being cut – our M2AL cutters are ideal for lower-tensile steels, whilst our TCT cutters are optimal for alloys and tough metals.
Can you use an annular cutter in a drill?
Generally speaking, annular cutters are designed for a mag drill chuck.
As they can use twist drills alongside other cutters, mag drills are generally a more efficient option than traditional drills.
Can you use a mag drill upside down?
Mag drills are suitable for use at a variety of difficult angles, including upside down. In cases where upside down drilling is necessary, the Element 40 Permanent Magnet is the optimal solution for safety due to its unique ability to maintain adhesion, even if the power goes out.
