Carbide tipped annular cutters work best at speeds over 500 RPM (see How To Choose Annular Cutters)

Most mag drills are designed to use HSS annular cutters operating speeds under 450 RPM.Drilling Speed – most mag drills provide one drilling speed, but the heavier duty models are available with dual drilling speeds and in some cases, up to 4 speeds, such as the Jancy Max 4×4 Mag Drill.Space Limitations – If you are working in tight spaces a low-profile mag drill may be ideal, such as: The Hougen HMD130 Mag Drill or the Fein JMC USA 90 Mag Drill.Work Environment a lighter weight mag drill is preferred if you are working high up in the air, etc.Usage/production requirement – Some drills have similar capacities, but one may be intended for lighter work and the other for heavier duty use.

Other Factors That Will Influence Your Selection: What is the depth of cut (D.O.C.) that you require? In other words what is the thickness of the metal you need to drill? Questions To Ask Yourself When Selecting A Mag DrillWhat is the maximum diameter hole that you need to make? These are hollow cutters, so only the outer perimeter of the drill is in contact with the steel, thereby significantly reducing the horsepower needed to drill a given diameter. Mag drills normally use annular cutters as opposed to solid drill bits. They are mostly used in structural steel but are also used in applications such as drilling truck frame rails, steel signage, guard rails, etc. These drills vary in size, weight and their horsepower, thereby affecting the hole diameter they can drill. The base of the drill features an electromagnet, that when energized, locks the base of the drill to the steel profile and allows the operator to apply a steady drill feed rate without dislodging or moving the base. Magnetic base drills, also known as mag drills or slugger drills, are used to drill heavy steel sections where a handheld drill would not suffice. How to choose the right mag drill for the job
