Mag base drills are a portable power tool featuring an electromagnetic base that can be secured to a piece of steel. This helps to keep the mag drill stable, secure and precise while drilling through the steel. A magnetic base drill can be used in a workshop or on the job site.
Magnetic base drill machines can be electric, pneumatic or hydraulic. Electric magnetic base drills are by far the most popular due to their lightweight, cost effective and compact design. Pneumatic magnetic drills use compressed air to power the drill while hydraulic magnetic drills are useful underwater thanks to a closed loop powered system.
