FEIN Magnetic Drill Press
Our FEIN magnetic drill press provides portable drilling capability for larger components and fabricated assemblies that may be difficult or impractical to position on a conventional drill press. Its magnetic base secures the machine directly to ferrous workpieces, allowing drilling to be performed where the work is located.
Common Applications
-
Portable drilling of ferrous metal components
-
On-part drilling of larger fabrications and assemblies
-
Hole-making where conventional drill-press access is limited
-
Magnetic mounting for secure positioning
-
Useful for structural and oversized components
-
Secondary drilling and fabrication work
Gang Drill Press
Our gang drill press provides efficient drilling for parts requiring multiple hole sizes or sequential drilling operations. With multiple drilling stations available within a single work area, the setup helps streamline repetitive operations and reduces the need to continually change tooling.
Common Applications
-
Multiple drilling operations in sequence
-
Repetitive hole production
-
Drilling and hole preparation
-
Efficient processing of multi-hole components
-
Secondary drilling of fabricated parts
-
Well suited for repeat and production work
