The HMD130 ultra-low-profile magnetic drill by Hougen

Dobco Equipment Ltd. carries a broad range of innovative power tools by Hougen Manufacturing, which is notable for having invented the portable magnetic drill press. For instance, the HMD130 ultra-low-profile magnetic drill is a right-angle drill that sets itself apart by combining light weight with a large capacity. This unique design makes the HMD130 the perfect option for applications that need a powerful drilling device in a compact package.

Smooth cutting with minimal vibration

This magnetic drill has a powerful eight-amp, 115-volt motor that cuts through one-inch holes up to 1-3/8 inches in diameter. The high torque gearing allows long-lasting power, while its patented quill feed arbour allows smooth cutting with minimal vibration and little maintenance. The RotaLoc Plus annular cutters offer a bayonet-style twist lock shank for quick cutter changers, with no extra tools required for installation or removal. Other key features of this unique Hougen drilling tool:

• carrying case included
• carrying handle
• feed handle, which switches easily from side to side
• lift-detector safety system
• pilot light for visibility
• positive slug ejection
• ratchet that can substitute for feed handle
• rear-mounted controls
• weight of only 10.8 kilograms (kg)

The HMD130 is available with a 25-millimetre (mm) base plate with a dead lift rating of 982 kg and a drill-point breakaway limit of 333 kg. Hougen also offers a 9½-mm plate with a 544-kg dead lift rating and a 227-kg breakaway limit. This magnetic drill from Dobco is perfect for many applications, including general fabrication, truck-frame modification, facility maintenance, and onsite assembly and installation.

This Hougen ultra-low-profile magnetic drill also has a no-adjustment safety switch that shuts the drill down when it detects lifting of the magnetic base, to make sure the work environment is safe. The LED indicator monitors this sensor and alerts the user if the switch is not engaged. A two-stage power-on switch stops drill rotation unless the magnet is engaged, while safety circuitry keeps the drill motor off after restoration of power until someone presses the start button.

For quick, efficient, and powerful hole-making in small spaces, trust the HDM130.
