Magnetic drill machines are the perfect drill choice if you're after maximum efficiency and precision. A mag drill or magnetic base drill is a portable piece of machinery that can drill precise holes through metal and other materials that automatically attaches to metal to hold everything in place without the need for clamps. The best mag drills (like those available here at Engweld) have a power motor capable of high speeds for pinpoint drilling, an adjustable drill head for different depths and the versatility to work with various different mag drill bits. Whether you work in construction, industrial maintenance, fabrication or any other industrial application, a mag drill will come in handy.
MiniBeast is JEI’s flagship and best-seller magnetic drilling machine. It is versatile, compact, and portable making it ideal for on-site or workshop use. MiniBeast magnetic drill machine is lightweight and powerful with a core drilling capacity of up to 35mm, and with a twist drill it can drill up to 12mm.
For high-production environments, it may be worth investing in an automatic magnetic drilling machine such as the MiniBeast Auto. It includes all the features of a standard MiniBeast. MiniBeast Auto can drill more in less time with easier operation and simple electronic controls.
If you will be working in remote areas or where there is no power source then go for MiniBeast Cordless, a battery-operated compact magnetic drill machine. JEI MiniBeast Cordless is fully compatible with CAS battery units and capable of drilling holes with a diameter of up to 36mm with annular cutters. With twist drills, the machine can drill holes with a diameter of up to 12mm.
MiniBeast Curve magnetic drill machine is your choice for drilling pipes, convex and concave surfaces. It is equipped with four permanent magnet bases and does not require any additional clamping attachments. JEI curve is designed to hold onto pipes with an outside radius of ØR300 mm and an inside radius of ØR500 mm.
If your application requires drilling in space-restricted areas, then use a MiniBeast LP35+ magnetic drill machine which has an ultra-low fixed working height. It is a premium low-profile drilling machine with a height of only 176mm but still powerful enough to drill holes with a diameter of up to 35mm with annular cutters.
Another choice for drilling in restricted spaces is the MiniBeast RT, a compact magnetic drilling machine. It uses a ratchet handle system allowing the machine to operate in more restricted spaces.
The MagBeast HM range is the premium range of magnetic drilling machines made in the UK. There is the MagBeast HM40 equipped with a 1100w motor power offering a cutter capacity of up to 40mm. MagBeast HM100 is for heavy-duty with a 1700w motor power and cutter capacity of up to 100mm.
You can use your magnetic drill machine to drill on non-magnetic, curved, or thin surfaces by using a Vac Pad. They require compressed air pressure (maximum 120 PSI), so you will need an air compressor.
There are two sizes including Vac Pad Standard (200mm x 135mm) and Vac Pad Large (300mm x 250mm) to cover the complete JEI range of magnetic drilling machines.
