4.4 Drilling with twist drills
There are several accessories available to be able to use twist drills with your magnetic drill.
-
Adapter 19 mm Weldon - ½”x20 UNF
-
Adapter 19 mm Weldon – B16 taper connection
-
Adapter 19 mm Weldon – B18 taper connection
These adapters will allow you to attach a drill chuck on to the hole cutter arbor.
However when using longer twist drills you will notice the stroke of your magnetic drilling machine is
often not large enough. With models FE 32 and FE 32 R/L you are able to remove the hole cutter
arbor and guidance. It will reveal a ½”x20 NF direct connection on the drilling unit, enabling you to
attach a corresponding drill chuck. To dismount the arbor unscrew the 4 hexagon screws under the
guidance support. After, unscrew the arbor from the motor using an open ended spanner 18 and 20
mm.
Models FE 50, FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L are equipped with Morse taper adapters. They can be
removed easily and a twist drill or drill chuck with direct taper connection can be inserted in to the
drilling unit.
Also twist drills with a direct Weldon connection are available (ranging from Ø 6 – Ø 12 mm)
