Evolution Power Tools EVOMAG42 Magnetic Drill Industrial Steel Mag Drill | Heavy-duty Fabrication, Strong Magnetic Adhesion, Integrated Coolant System, Includes Carry Case | 42 mm 1200 W Motor (240 V)

I've always found that drilling holes in steel any larger than about 10mm using ordinary twist drill bits causes the drill bit to jam in the hole as it begins break through despite adopting the usual method of incrementing the size of the hole in stages and using the correct cutting speeds etc. Enter the EVOMAG 42! After much research on the net to find a cost-effective solution to this problem, I bought this product purely on recommendations and looking at YouTube reviews; always a risky business but in this instance I can report my absolute satisfaction with this product. You can use twist drill bits but it excels when it is used with the matching Evolution cutters which you have to buy separately. Setting up the machine was straightforward using the clear instructions. My first job was to drill a series of 20mm holes in 5mm steel plate. Given all my previous difficulties using twist drills, I couldn't believe how quickly and smoothly this drill performed its job. It appears to have been designed for steel erectors/fabricators because it incorporates a powerful magentic base which allows you to position it on any vertical or horizontal steel surface. This doesn't make it ideal for driling relatively small gauge steel stock such 25mm angle iron for example and my next project will be to fabricate a base for this product to allow such stock to be securely positioned and clamped unless I can find something already commercially available. If you haven't the budget or space for a milling machine (which would be one alternative), buy this product, you won't be disappointed.

I’ve never left a review on Amazon before, but felt that I really should in this instance. This machine is very good quality. We’re building a small extension that requires a steel frame, and I was daunted by the prospect of hand drilling holes to join wood to the steel. However, this drill made it incredibly easy. I bought the Evolution bits as well and they were superb. The included chuck meant I could also use my own HSS bits too. The magnet is very powerful and the overall feel of the machine is one of solid build and is perfect for my needs. Excellent bit of kit.

Excellent Product. It worth it's money. Cuts steel like butter.

Great tool, very well made as is all evolution stuff, single speed 450rpm, 3mtr power cable, easy to use, powerful, up to 42mm annular cutter, and if using the inc 3 jaw chuck 13mm max,

This is a great tool and has saved me a lot of time and effort already. I did not use the coolant feed tube or container as i was often working the drill in a horizontal plane and just applied coolant directly to the surface to be drilled. There is an adjustment which allows you to raise the drilling head and use the included chuck with longer drill bits etc. This needs to be tight or else the drill head, when being wound down into the work will just sit on the surface and not penetrate, due to the slippage. Other than this, I found it to be a good tool. Only single speed, but fine for the holes i was drilling. The blow moulded case is useful for storage. All allen keys which are needed were included. the magnet works well on good iron. It will not grip reliably on rusted material. It was able to hold, to drill vertically on lighter angle and box sections too.

Don't do reviews, but this has to be the exception, After struggling with an old pillar drill trying to drill holes in a trailer I was making, I gave up and ordered this drill. Wow, I have used it vertically, horizontally and upside down. Great magnetic clamping force and even useable when you can't get both magnets on the material. Good slow (single speed) makes better performance than either of my pillar drills. Adjustable depth settings mean you can drill through one side of hollow tube, reset the depth and as long as the bit is long enough keep going. Really wish I had bought this years ago! Only gripe is that the chuck / key wouldn't fit at first and both chuck key hole and key needed the paint / lacquer removing first. Yet to try it with the cutter kit (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DUVOXX6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but more than satisfied with its performance on just twist drills. 13mm in 7mm plate no problem and suspect it would easily handle 25mm plus blacksmith drills.

Makes drilling holes in RSJ steels an absolute breeze. Had some steel beams for an extension delivered with holes in the wrong places. Could spend a couple of hundred quid paying someone to come and drill them, or the same on the drill, so... Takes less than 30s to cut a 14mm hole through 10mm thick steel. One bit did 14 holes and the last was just as quick and clean as the first. Didn't use the integrated oil system as couldn't get the oil quickly, but a can of WD-40 cutting oil did the job nicely. Everyone on site was impressed; its a quality piece of kit.

Don't be fooled by some reviews telling you that this drill isn't up to tough fabrication work. We have drilled hundreds of holes in everything from 50mm box to 3/4" hardened plate and I've honestly not heard it struggle under load one single time. Granted , dont bully it..let the drill do the work , don't overwork it and use plenty of cutting fluid/coolant. I would strongly advise that you buy proper cutters rather than buy cheap Chinese ones. A good cutter should last you at the very least 100 cuts if you know how to use the drill correctly. This drill is being used in a professional workshop and also on site.

Máquina.de buena cálida aunque sólo se hicieron unas pequeñas pruebas de taladrar con bronca de veintidós perfecto esperemos que cuando llegue el trabajo puntual para lo que se compró resulte perfecta compra my satisfactoria y buen precio lo recomiendo totalmente

Sono rimasto proprio soddisfatto, niente da invidiare ai modelli professionali che costa il triplo. Il motore, e il magnete hanno una potenza super. Io lo uso solo con punte da trapano, ma sono arrivato senza problemi fino alla diametro 16mm.

Koffer für die Zwecke ist ausreichend, Maschine bohrte 40 x 30mm am Stück ohne zu streiken. Sie ist etwas laut, aber auf der Baustelle wem interessiert es. Stecker der Maschine kann jeder Heimwerker selbst austauschen. Tauglich für den Profieinsatz ohne Einschränkung. Für den Preis bis dato fünf Sternchen.

Satisfait après pas mal de trou déjà réalisé. Facile a utiliser, pas besoin de forcé pour percé. Attention prise us. J'ai acheté une prise us/fr marche parfaitement.

Ideal para precisión en acero, versatil y facil uso, se puede llevar a cualquier parte para trabajos a distancia o a domicilio.Con el accesorio para brocas normales aun mejor.
