MAGNETIC DRILLS

In 1895, FEIN invented the world's first electric hand drill, and in 1909, the first electromagnetic drill, GMAZ. With over 120 years of expertise, FEIN has continuously developed mag drilling technology and perfected it to this day. Professionals justifiably place their trust in FEIN's long-lasting quality. With exceptional mag drills designed for a range of applications, rest assured that they stand the test of Time and offer unrivalled performance.

Core drilling is a drilling process in which only the circumference of the hole is drilled, leaving a core in the centre. Core 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 thus does not have to be removed. This way, the drilling tool is protected, and a faster advance can also be expected when drilling into metallic materials, e.g., steel beams. Magnetic drills are often used for this purpose: they adhere to the steel via an electromagnet in the baseplate so that you do not have to support the heavy core drill using only your physical strength.

FEIN is your go-to partner for professional magnetic base drilling machines and offers a comprehensive selection of different models for you to choose from based on your needs, including corded and cordless mag drills. Explore our entry-level mag drilling machines to professional models.

Precise, economical and faster than ever before - our mag drills deliver the best drilling results when you need them most.

Reduced Effort.

FEIN's universal core drills reduce the effort to a minimum, so neither pre-drilling nor retooling is necessary while at the same Time ensuring high work progress. The feed force is also significantly reduced because magnetic base drills work with a smaller cutting surface.

Save Time, Energy & Cut Costs.

Efficiency means achieving a lot with a little – and that describes FEIN drills perfectly. In contrast to conventional twist drilling, core mag drilling does not cut the entire drill surface but only a narrow ring. This means that the hole can be drilled with significantly less feed force and effort – and in a much shorter time. 

Versatility.

We offer a fantastic range of magnetic drill models to suit different performance classes for every application. Whether you require a compact and portable drill for tight spaces or a heavy-duty machine for large-scale projects, our models can meet your requirements.

Peace of Mind.

We're confident that our products consistently deliver reliable results for years to come, but we've also got you covered if something does go wrong. Our 3 year plus warranty means you receive a warranty certificate on any product you buy. All you have to do is register your power tool within 3 months of purchase.

Core drilling technology can be used for a wide range of applications. From drilling in steel beams, overlapping holes or drilling of multi-layered materials to staggered drilling, everything is possible.
