- Today Donnie walk's us through the proper setup and safe practices of a powerful tool we often use around the shop, the magnetic drill press.

*Bought as a gift for my son and his second grade son to use on a Pinewood Derby car. Wanted something relatively safe and able to be packed away when not in use. Worked well. **MyBest.Tools** Easy to use and set up. Case provides good storage.*
I am actually an expert with many mag drills. I used to train guys and show them how to properly use these without breaking bits. I drilled thousands of holes in bridge girder webbing, flanges, plates, etc. I had to carry the drill to each beam. Was mostly done outside in the steel plant's yard(Maritime Steel in Dartmouth, NS. Now owned by Irving). It's 25 years later and I doubt I could carry that thing as easily, but back then, man, I was a machine.
Do you sleep with your hand on it too?
@@pyromaniac354 No, but I heard it in my sleep every night after work.
Did you have to work outside even in the winter?
@@nicholasjanssen2175 Hell yeah, most of the work I did was outside. Had to be to work for 6am, and sometimes didn't end my shift until 11pm. Was pretty brutal in the winter.
@Del-Canada and it sounds like you are still full of it. I am an expert, I was a machine, DAH!
Interesting to know about welding damaging mag drills thanks
Well presented common sense tips, most of which I never considered. I'm new at this, good effort, thanks.
Man, I just bought a gallon of WD40 intending on using it for cutter lube on my new (to me) mag drill. I won’t do that and will instead get some proper cutter fluid. Thank you for that. Definitely a close call avoided👍
Thanks so much we did learn big time!
Awesome video. Thank you for teaching me.
great stuff Donnie
Thanks for posting.
Verry interesting. I wasn't know for the welder.. Thank you for these information
Thanks for posting. Using one for a 10 inch pipe, this drills minimum is my wall. Just a 1/8 27 for grease.
It is cool to see the new ones stop the motor if the magnet disconnects.
I recently got an old school Black & Decker mag drill.
This model predates safety and will keep the motor running if the magnet loses connection.
It also weighs about 100 pounds.
Great video
A contractor in my company lost yesterday one hand finger with a mag drill. Not completely clear the root cause, but it seems that a rag held by the injured person, used for cleaning, got caught with the drill. Very good video.
Hi Ignacio. That's terrible. We're sorry to hear about that injury, and we hope the contractor is recovering well. You could be right: a rag getting caught in a mag drill could pull a person's hand into the drill bit leading to injury. That's why loose or dangling items, including rags, loose-fitting gloves, jewelry, sleeves, and long hair, should always be removed or held back when using tools with fast moving parts. This is especially the case for drills, where shavings around the drill bit pose a greater risk of snagging loose items. As for a root-cause, we often find injuries related to tool use are a result of inadequate training. Your company may want to evaluate its training program on drill presses to ensure it's properly preparing workers for using these tools safely.
Fabrication shop at the company I work for uses a mag drill weekly and all they use as lubricant is WD 40… never had any issues.. going on 10 years or so
How we found it to buy
How we can use this machine on ss surface .
If we have to drill horizontal
Hi Shantanu. Good question. Hougan's operator's manual talks about mechanical clamping when the drill is on thin, rough, or uneven surfaces. The method we've seen recommended is to place a piece of 1/2" mild steel on the stainless, clamp it securely, and magnetize the drill to the mild steel. We haven't tested this ourselves so can't say how effective it would be. Be cautious if you decide to go this route.
very good video but i don't speak english. can you make another video in spanish please.
Thanks for watching, Jorge. We don't have plans to film our videos in Spanish, but you can watch any of our videos with Spanish captions by turning on captions in the video player and setting them to Spanish.
Those are some serious safety precautions
Will this drill take a 1.25 bit?
Hi, Anthony. Yes, the Hougen HMD905 and HMD927S can both accept a 1.25" diameter bit.
Where is the guard for the moving part?
It's in the same box with the acetylene torch guard.
magnetic drill hougen
using a crane to put the mag drill into postion BAHAHAHAH !!!!
It can appear excessive but when you try to position it exactly correctly it's a good help🤔🤔
This is more a safety instruction video
Useless information video
Come on man some mag drills do not need electricity for their magnet to work!!
