Voltage: 110 Volt 230 Volt Add to your Wish List Description Introducing the New Alfa Rotabest 35SP Magnetic drilling machine with TML (Thin Material Lift) technology. This new range of machines combines the advantages of a permanent magnet (100 % safe), new TML technology and a rugged but smooth boring unit. The engineers at Alfa in Germany have designed a new type of permanent magnet that applies more force closer to the base of the magnet enabling the machine to adhere and drill steel thinner than has been achievable in the past, indeed we have included a video showing the Alfa 35SP drilling vertically through a cabinet built of 1mm powder coated steel. Other brands of drilling machine need a minimum of 6 or indeed 8mm thick steel for the electromagnet to apply enough force to successfully broach ferrous metals. Most other brands of magnetic drill also use an electro magnet to apply the clamping force, however if the power fails for whatever reason, the clamping force is lost which can end in catastrophic results particularly when drilling vertically or on the underside of steel. The Alfra 35SP magnet is engaged using a lever which is automatically locked in position until unlocked by the operator. Indeed the magnet base has a very small amount of permanent magnetic adhesion once the magnet is switched off, this takes some of the weight away from the operator allowing them to line the machine up in the desired drilling position. The unit has a drilling capacity of 35mm using either short or long series cutters up to a depth of 50mm . see full specs enclosed Advantages of this machine include Light-weighted and handy drill station for ideal use on site and in the workshop. Powerful permanent magnet which eliminates the danger of dropping the machine The magnet force is higher than that at commercially available electro-magnets of the same size. Possible usage from 3mm (S 235) material thickness. Operational thickness of normal machines with electro magnet starts at least 8mm (S 235) Extremely low maintenance See our enclosed videos drilling 50x50x6mm box section and 1mm sheet steel cabinet Brochure available in the download section.
