Magnetic drilling for fabrication and on-site steelwork that locks firmly to beams and cuts precise holes. Tradespeople and fabricators can rely on the strong adhesion and 1200W motor of Evolution Power Tools Magnetic Drill S28MAG for repeatable results in confined spaces. Will the 110V specification suit your workshop or will the 230/240V version be necessary?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Precise, clean holes thanks to optimised rotation speed and strong magnetic adhesion
- • Best for: Fabrication teams, structural steel erectors and site engineers working on I‑beams and frameworks
- • Not ideal for: Home users without a step‑down transformer for UK mains
Compact magnetic drill with a 1200W motor and up to 1200kg magnetic adhesion. Suited to heavy-duty structural and fabrication drilling.
Consistent, powerful cutting – thanks to a 1200W motor
A 1200W motor supplies sustained rotational power to maintain speed under load, supporting accurate holemaking in steel. Optimised rotation speed reduces chatter and helps keep cutters cutting cleanly.
Reliable performance through heavy sections such as RSJs, helping to reduce stalls and rework on site.
Secure hold on steelwork – with up to 1200kg magnetic adhesion
An electromagnet gives adhesion figures up to 1200kg, clamping the base to beams and frameworks to resist movement during drilling. Strong adhesion allows stable operation on vertical and overhead positions.
Stable anchoring keeps holes true when working on bridges, I‑beams and other structural elements.
Faster setups and repeatable positioning – with quick-release height adjustment
A quick-release height adjustment enables rapid changes to cutter position and depth without lengthy re-calibration. The mechanism supports consistent centres across multiple holes.
Speeds up on-site work and reduces downtime when moving between members or repeating hole patterns.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I plug the drill into UK mains?
A: 110V products cannot be plugged directly into UK mains and are only for use on worksites with an appropriate step-down transformer; for home use choose the 230/240V version.
Q: What sort of steelwork is it suited to?
A: Ideal for bridges, I‑beams and framework, the drill is designed for heavy-duty industrial environments and fabrication work.
Q: Is there a warranty?
A: A three‑year limited warranty applies, but only if purchased in the UK.
🏆 Our Verdict
Best suited to site-based fabricators and steel erectors who need reliable, repeatable holes in heavy sections. Sturdy construction, strong magnetic adhesion and a 1200W motor create a dependable workhorse for structural drilling. While aimed at professional use, the three-year UK warranty and robust performance support long-term value for tradespeople.
