Key Features
Magnetic Base:
The core feature of a magnetic drilling machine is its magnetic base, which can be either electromagnetic or permanent magnet, allowing it to adhere to steel and iron surfaces.
Portability:
Mag drills are designed to be portable, making them suitable for on-site fabrication and maintenance tasks, even in hard-to-reach locations.
Applications:
Construction: Drilling holes in steel beams, columns, and other structural components.
Bridge Building: Working on bridge construction and repairs.
Shipbuilding: Drilling holes in steel plates for shipbuilding and maintenance
