The Hougen HMD927 power feed magnetic drill, available from Dobco

Dobco Equipment remains Canada’s premier source of industrial tools from renowned manufacturers – including Hougen Manufacturing, which offers annular cutters, hole punches, and various drills. Hougen’s HMD927 power feed magnetic drill is a prime example of its top-quality equipment.

An upgrade of Hougen’s powerful HMD925 magnetic drill, this strong two-speed instrument has a better power-to-weight ratio and an optional swivel base that increases the drill’s versatility.

Powerful motor and gears

The Hougen HMD927 power feed magnetic drill from Dobco includes a powerful, high-toque motor and gears, as well as a gearbox that enables two speeds, 250 and 450 revolutions per minute. Other notable features include a pilot light for accurate holes in dimly lit conditions, a single handle to engage the power-feed system, a selectable manual or power feed mode, a lift detector safety system, side-mounted controls, and an integrated, gravity-fed coolant bottle. It has a capacity of 1 5/8 by two inches, and its smart technology optimizes the feed rate, which not only results in better-quality holes, but also extends the drill’s operational life. The two-stage magnet enables a 30 per cent increase in power after the motor is switched on. Positive slug ejection is another advantage.

A prime benefit of the HMD927 drill is its patented swivel base, which has a one-stroke lock and unlock handle. This base enables the user to line up the pilot more precisely with the hole’s centre location. Hougen recommends the base highly for applications that involve horizontal, overhead, or tight areas or getting out over another piece of steel. With the swivel base added, the drill is capable of even more tasks than before.
