Description
Rotabroach Commando 40 Magnetic Drill
The Rotabroach Commando 40 Magnetic Drill is a robust and powerful professional-grade drilling machine designed for heavy-duty metalworking applications. Engineered for precision and efficiency, this drill features a high-strength electromagnetic base that firmly adheres to ferrous metal surfaces, allowing for accurate and stable drilling in horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Its powerful motor is specifically optimized for cutting holes with annular (core) cutters, offering significant speed and efficiency advantages over traditional twist drills for larger diameter holes. The Commando 40 is built for demanding site conditions, providing reliable performance and enhanced safety features, making it an indispensable tool for steel fabricators, construction workers, and maintenance engineers.
Features
- Powerful Magnetic Adhesion: Equipped with a high-power electromagnet that ensures superior grip and stability on ferrous metals, enabling safe and precise drilling in various orientations.
- Optimal for Annular Cutters: Primarily designed and optimized for use with annular (core) cutters (often up to 40mm diameter), which remove a core of material, leading to faster drilling and less power consumption compared to twist drills.
- Versatile Drilling Capacity: Capable of drilling holes up to 40mm diameter with annular cutters and often up to 13mm with twist drills (using an appropriate chuck and arbor).
- Robust Motor: Features a strong and durable motor (typically around 1100W or similar, depending on exact model variant) engineered for continuous heavy-duty use.
- Integrated Cooling System: Includes an internal or external cutting fluid system that automatically supplies coolant to the drill bit, extending cutter life and improving drilling performance.
- Adjustable Height: The drill head height is adjustable to accommodate different cutter lengths.
- Safety Features: Often includes safety interlocks, overload protection, and strong magnetic adhesion to ensure user safety during operation.
- Compact and Portable: Despite its power, it's designed to be relatively compact and manageable for transport and on-site use.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-quality components to withstand the rigors of construction and fabrication environments.
Applications
The Rotabroach Commando 40 Magnetic Drill is an essential tool for:
- Steel Fabrication: Drilling holes in steel beams, plates, and structural components for construction and manufacturing.
- Construction: On-site drilling for structural steel erection, facade installation, and general building work.
