00:00well welcome back and today we're going to have a look at a magnetic drill mag drill a lot of
00:20people just call them but this drill is just like having a drill press if you're familiar with some
00:26machining to put a drill in to drill through steel plate or anywhere maybe where it's portable
00:30where you can't bring the the the job to the drill here we take the drill to the job and if there's
00:39an area where you're trying to maybe in a beam or something out in the field or out in a residential
00:44area where you don't have the resources to have a big drill then this might fit the bill for you
00:50this base is magnetic when it's plugged in it's plugged in by regular 115 volt power
00:56there's several sizes of drills this particular one takes a three morse taper the morse taper refers to
01:02the the end on it that the drill has now if you were doing straight shank drills jobber drills or
01:10maybe the drills that you might have in your toolbox at home you would use this this chuck
01:14and this particular end here would go into the drill and be screwed on there and thereby making
01:22you allowing you to use a straight shank drills to drill any holes in an area you can also put in a
01:30collar which will take what I was just saying three morse taper drills that's a tapered drill on the end
01:36tapered shank on the end of the drill and that would fit in here usually used in bigger sizes
01:42maybe three quarter inch and up one inch inch and a quarter that you might want to use
01:48this collar also you can put adapters in that take what's called hog bits these are
01:55straight bits that are like for milling into into steel and hogging out holes so
02:04once you have the appropriate drill that you're going to use you can even swivel this base you would
02:10bring it over to the plate make sure it's nice and flat and smooth or the beam and turn the magnet on
02:17by plugging it in and the door the the controls are on the back it's basically just turning it on
02:24and turning it on in the forward speed and you act like a drill press you just loosen it off and you
02:31drill it down and then drill back up and you can adjust this plate up or down to get closer or higher
02:37depending on the job that you're doing the one thing that is not recommended which people sometimes
02:43want to do is hang this thing off a beam and drill up into it or off of a side this is heavy i know you
02:51can put strap it there or you can put a safety rope or anything but if this falls it can cause some
02:58serious damage not only to the drill but any people that are around so i wouldn't recommend using this in
03:04that case trying to drill up just use it in this mode right here drilling down that can put a fair
03:12bit of pressure on when you're drilling and up and down you can add water if you need be as these hog bits
03:19usually have a little hose on them to lubricate and it might be an area that you need to fix some
03:26machinery or do something that's in a remote area it provides you an opportunity to drill some holes
03:33okay so give that some consideration hopefully that would make your job a little easier than
03:38trying to use hand drills or anything and hopefully we'll see you soon again and don't forget to subscribe
