The Hougen HMD2MT #2 Morse Taper Magnetic Drill, available from Dobco

Portable magnetic drills are one of the main specialties of Hougen Manufacturing, a family-owned producer of industrial tools based in Swartz Creek, MI. Hougen, whose products are available in Canada from Dobco Equipment, always has an eye on developing new innovations in this area – such as the HMD2MT #2 Morse Taper Magnetic Drill.

Each of Hougen’s HMD2MT portable magnetic drills has a #2 Morse Taper Arbor System, which enables more tooling options than previous mag drills had. This drill is available in three models, with a voltage of 115 or 230 volts.

Powerful high-torque motor and gears

The HMD2MT #2 Morse Taper Magnetic Drill from Dobco has a large capacity, measuring 1-5/8 by two inches, and a potent high-torque motor and gears for extra power. Other notable features include: a gearbox with two speeds, 250 and 450 revolutions per minute; a forward and reverse switch for tapping; a pilot light; a double dovetail slide, which enables strokes of up to seven inches; a two-stage magnet, which increases power by 30 per cent when the motor is switched on; a gravity-fed coolant bottle; a lift detector safety system; rear-mounted controls; and a special carrying case.

Weighing 18.1 kilograms (kg) each, or 25.9 kg in shipping, these portable magnetic drills also have feed handles that quickly change from side to side, and many accessories are available, including drill chucks, twist drill adapters, and countersinks. Hougen also offers a #2 Morse Taper Tapping Kit, which contains a tapping holder, two replacement wrenches, and nine collets of various sizes.

Other features and specifications:

  • Measurement of 56.7 by 19.1 by 32.4 centimetres;
  • Depth of 50 millimetres;
  • Twist drill capacity and reamer capacity of ¾” with 2MT shank;
  • Tapping capacity 5/8″ with 2MT shank; and
  • Base, 1″ plate, and 3/8″ plate magnets.
