Why a Magnetic Drill Loses Holding Power

Magnetic holding power depends on clean contact, adequate steel thickness, a flat base and a sound magnet system.

Mag Drill Parts: selection checklist

  • Clean paint, scale, chips and oil from the contact area.
  • Confirm the workpiece thickness and flatness.
  • Inspect the magnetic drill and service parts before continuing.

How to choose the right option

  1. Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
  2. Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
  3. Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
