4.3 Magnet base
By combining Magswitch’s rotating magnet technology and EUROBOOR’s pneumatic drilling unit, we
have created a tool that is capable of quickly and safely drilling on contoured and flat surfaces in
potentially explosive atmospheres. Magswitch magnets allow for a much more efficient field on
thinner material, allowing more consistent tip forces.
The attachment force generated by the magnets depends on various factors:
- Thickness of the material
- Material grade
- Pain or coating of the material the magnet is placed on
- Metal chips, oil or other dirt under the magnet
- Temperature of the workpiece, which should not exceed 80° C (176 °F)
As guideline on regular construction steel:
- Minimal required material thickness 3.0 mm (1/8")
- Full saturation as from material thickness 12.5 mm (1/2")
Make sure that both magnet arrays attach tightly to the workpiece before turning on the machine.
For placement on the outside of a pipe, a minimum outer diameter of 80 mm (3.5") is required.
Always use the safety chain included. Drilling above your head is extremely dangerous and is not
recommended.
Activating the magnets
Both magnet arrays are to be handled individually.
- Make sure the magnet arrays are switched OFF (narrow part of both ratcheting action
handles pointing to the marking “OFF”)
