Magnetic base drilling expertise from the inventor of the drilling machine.
In 1895, FEIN invented the world's first electric hand drill, and in 1909, the first electromagnetic drill GMAZ. With over 120 years of drilling expertise, FEIN has continuously developed metal drilling technology and perfected it through innovation, quality, and design. To further strengthen FEIN’s magnetic base drill and annular cutter offering, FEIN acquired Jancy Engineering in 2011, bringing the well-known Slugger line of tools under its umbrella. Now known as Slugger by FEIN, professionals place their trust in our long-lasting quality. With exceptional drills for hole making that stand the test of time and offer unrivalled performance, choose FEIN.
How does magnetic base drilling work?
Magnetic base drilling is a drilling process in which only the circumference of the hole is drilled, leaving a core in the center. Magnetic base drills are rotating cylinders that are equipped with carbide cutting edges.
Especially for hard materials and large diameters, magnetic base drills offer several advantages over conventional drilling methods, as the core remains inside the drill bit and does not have to be removed. This way the drilling tool is protected and you can drill faster into metallic materials, e.g., steel beams. Magnetic base drills are often used for this purpose: they adhere to steel via an electromagnet in the baseplate so that you do not have to support the heavy drill using only your physical strength.
