Portable magnetic drill sits on swivel base

CS Unitec’s MAB 525 SB portable magnetic drill features a swivel base for simplified positioning when drilling on overhead or vertical surfaces. When attached to the workpiece, the drill provides 20-degree movement left and right and 0.625-in. forward and backward, allowing the operator to adjust the center for drilling without deactivating the magnet and manually moving the drill.

The drill has a hole-cutting capacity up to 2.5 in. dia. in structural steel and other metals. The 14.5-amp, double-insulated, reversible motor has a two-speed oil bath gearbox (70 to 280 and 180 to 580 RPM), suitable for annular cutters and twist drills. Additional capabilities include twist drilling up to 1 in. dia., tapping up to 0.9375 in. dia., reaming up to 0.875 in. dia., and countersinking up to 2 in.

This unit has a quick-change keyless cutter system for 0.75-in. Weldon shanks. With a 0.75-in. drill chuck or MT3, the drill converts to a standard drill press with a 5-in. stroke for conventional twist drills.
