R. Riehl Said: Milwaukee 4206-1 Electromagnetic Drill Press ( Sep. 18th 2007 )
This magnetic drill was purchased to drill holes in a steel platen on a plastic injection molding machine. Previously we had to hire a machine shop to come to our facility with their equipment to do what we are now doing ourselves. The drill has performed perfectly and is doing exactly what was intended. The bottom line is that it has already paid for itself and saved thousands of dollars.

Although this tool is some what limited in use it performs excellent for the purpose it was designed for. I have used this tool to drill and tap many holes in machine bases and bolster plates that were too large or could not be moved to a drill press. With a good lay out job and heavy center punch you can accurately place the Mag Drill on center each time. The base of the tool is also a de-magnetizer for easy removal of chips and clean up.
They look pretty good, particularly the smaller one.
I've not tried the Axminster ones, but I used couple of similar ones at work, many years ago now, about 10" long. They seemed to be very well made, probably Mole or Vise-Grip, and were quite good for repetitive work on the fairly heavy industrial machine. Someone managed to break a chunk out of the table on the cheap lightweight bench drill with one, though.
The lever arm was rather long compared to the length that engages in the table slot, making the forces on the slot quite high, and they may well have been applying excessive grunt.
The cheap far-eastern machines are rather better made now, particularly in terms of the quality of the castings, but I've never wanted to risk it. The 6" version, used with care, might change that.

It has a dual laser type of conduct, a 500-3000 RPM capability, a L. This allows aggressive metal drilling and prolongs fragment life. This drill press can rotate its drilling head 90 degrees to the missing to swing made known ended the side-mounted vise to drill axial holes in the tops of a vertical beams or shafts. It helps drill holes in wood, metal and a variety of other equipment. A small fountain pump with a gooseneck of 1/8 edge your way copper tubing produces a small flood which can be aimed next to the perforation being drilled to keep the fragment and workpiece cool. Bench-top drill press is a ration more compact.D bring about light, and alacrity readout.E. They will run 95 percent of drill-press needs in the
