Martin Aplin, managing director at Metabo, describes the features of the MAG28 LTX Cordless Magnetic Drilling Machine.


N


o cables and no combustible fuels are re- quired to drill holes up to 32mm in steel.


Safe, strong and portable, the MAG 28 LTX from Metabo delivers drilling solutions with- out the need for mains power, generators or any other power source.


Supplied with 2 x 28V batteries, this machine is capable of


drilling up to 15 x 18mm holes up to a depth of 50mm into steel on just one battery pack.


Due to its V-shaped base, the machine can be used on both fl at and cylindrical surfaces from 90mm diameter up to 300mm in diameter and can be applied in horizontal, vertical and even overhead situations.


Weighing in at just 14.5kg, the unit is highly portable and ideal for track and maintenance applications.


The magnetic base is fully adjustable and partial magnetic force can be applied to aid alignment prior to the full clamping pressure being delivered via a ratchet handle. This system also incorporates a magnetic force indicator for safe practice.


The machine can accommodate both spiral bits (up to 13mm) along with conventional or thin walled drill bits (up to 32mm diameter), with thin walled offering up to 30% faster drilling speeds. The unit has a two-speed gearbox, an integrated lubrication system, charger, two batteries and a robust carry case for onsite use.


As with all machines engineered by this renowned German power tool manufacturer, the MAG28 LTX is available with a three-year warranty simply by registering the machine online at the point of purchase.


Service packages are also available. FOR MORE INFORMATION
