Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum drilling capacity of this mag drill?
  It can drill up to 38 mm in diameter using annular cutters (broaching cutters) up to a depth of 50 mm, or up to 13 mm using standard twist drill bits with the included chuck adaptor.
• Does the magnet work if the battery dies?
  Yes. The Milwaukee M18 FMDP utilizes a permanent magnet system, meaning the magnet retains its full 8,890 N holding force even if the battery is completely depleted or removed.
• Is drilling fluid required for this hire?
  Yes, we highly recommend using neat cutting fluid or soluble oil when drilling metal. This extends the life of the cutters, speeds up the cut, and prevents overheating.
• What is included in the mag drill hire kit?
  Our standard kit includes the M18 FMDP magnetic drill press, 2x 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, a multi-voltage fast charger, a 13mm chuck with Weldon adaptor, a safety strap, a lubrication tank, and a heavy-duty transport case.
