A magnetic drilling press is a machine equipped with a cutting tool attachment and an electromagnet for drilling holes in metal. The magnetic drill press is connected to a cutting tool called a hollow drill, which is hollow from the inside but has cutting edges on the surface and teeth.
A magnetic drill press is also called a magnetic core drilling machine, magnetic drill press, mag base drill, magnetic drill machine, mag base drill or mag drill.
A magnetic drill press can also perform operations like Thread cutting (tapping), Twist drilling, Reaming and Countersinking. A portable magnetic drill press makes holes in metal with the help of a special cutting tool called as core drill or annular cutter or annular core cutter.
Magnetic Drill Press
The main difference is that, unlike conventional drilling machines, magnetic core drillers are light and flexible, can be moved from one place to another and can be fixed horizontally, vertically, laterally, etc. This working flexibility has never been achieved by any other drilling machine.
Another difference is that the core drilling machine cuts only on the periphery of the hole and not on the entire surface, so it cuts very little material and is therefore faster and more economical. This is why, under normal circumstances, a magnetic drill press is considered to be three to four times faster than a conventional drilling machine.
A portable magnetic drill press is a new technology machine that can be a faster alternative to older technology metal hole processing machines such as drill presses, gear head drill presses, radial arm drill presses, milling machines, etc.
The portable magnetic drill press is a new technology machine that can be a faster replacement for old technology metal hole processing machines such as drilling machines, gear head drilling machines, radial arm drilling machines, milling machines, etc.
The portable magnetic drill press with hollow drill heads (ring tools) can machine holes with diameters of more than 12 mm. For holes less than 12 mm in diameter, twist drill bits can be used. Coring bits for these machines are usually made of high speed steel (HSS) with a tungsten carbide tip (TCT).
Depending on the nature of the material to be drilled and the diameter of the hole, the user decides whether to use an HSS or TCT hollow core drill. When using a ring tool, the magnetic drill press offers accuracy of 0.005 mm to 0.001 mm in materials such as steel and stainless steel.
Depending on the use of the machine, portable magnetic drill presses are available in various sizes, shapes, designs, electronics and equipment. It combines the versatility of a drill press with a powerful electromagnetic base that allows it to adhere to carbon steel (ferrous) surfaces. It can be positioned to drill horizontally, vertically or even upside down (overhead).
The magnetic drill press is aimed at users in the construction, manufacturing and heavy engineering industries. These magnetic drilling machines are ideally suited for use on site and in the workshop. The magnetic drill press is not only suitable for hollow drilling but also ideal for twist drilling, reaming, countersinking and tapping (thread cutting). Unless you are machining blind holes or holes less than 12 mm in diameter, core drilling deserves serious consideration, especially if your application is not in controlled workshop conditions.
