⚡ At a Glance
  • Drilling Power: 1550W copper motor capable of boring up to 50 mm diameter in metal
  • Best for: Shipbuilding, bridge construction, industrial steel fabrication and heavy renovation work
  • Not ideal for: Non-metal surfaces or situations where magnetic anchoring cannot be used

A 1550W copper-motor magnetic drill bores up to 50 mm and anchors with a 13,000 N electromagnet. Stepless 0–580 rpm control, reversible rotation and a 250 mL coolant tank support precise, heavy-duty metal drilling.


High drilling capacity – Thanks to a 1550W copper motor

A robust 1550W copper-wound motor supplies high torque for sustained cutting, enabling boring up to 50 mm diameter in metal surfaces. Continuous motor power helps maintain speed under load during demanding holes.

Reliable power tackles thick steel and structural plate with fewer stalls, making long runs of holes feasible on site or in the workshop.

Secure anchoring and flexible positioning – With a 13,000 N electromagnet

A solid iron base switches to a 13,000 N electromagnet to anchor to ferrous surfaces, allowing safe operation horizontally, vertically or upside down. The magnetic hold reduces movement and improves hole accuracy.

Stable anchoring reduces chatter and keeps holes true when working on beams, plate and awkward orientations commonly encountered in fabrication yards.

Temperature control and bit longevity – With a 250 mL coolant tank

An integrated 250 mL coolant reservoir feeds cutting fluid to the bit edge, helping to dissipate heat during prolonged drilling. Cooler cutting temperatures slow wear on bits and preserve cutting geometry.

Less overheating means longer bit life and steadier cutting performance during repetitive or deep-hole work, lowering downtime for bit changes.

✨ The 4 Key Reasons for ZELCAN Mag Drill Press
  1. Stepless speed control – Precise RPM adjustment from 0 to 580 rpm for materials
  2. Reversible rotation – Easier bit removal and reduced risk of bit binding
  3. Built-in depth scale – Check and set hole depth accurately during operations
  4. Coolant reservoir – 250 mL tank prevents overheating, prolongs drill-bit life

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the drill bore large holes in metal?

A: Yes. A 1550W copper motor is specified and boring is possible up to 50 mm diameter in metal surfaces.

Q: Can the drill be used on vertical or overhead surfaces?

A: Yes. A 13,000 N electromagnet anchors the base so operation is possible horizontally, vertically or upside down.

Q: Does the drill manage heat during long drilling runs?

A: Yes. A 250 mL coolant tank helps prevent overheating and reduces bit wear during extended use.

🏆 Our Verdict

Suitable for engineers, fabrication teams and serious renovators who need dependable magnetic drilling for heavy metalwork. Strong motor performance, a powerful electromagnet and built-in coolant make it a capable tool for repeated, on-site steel drilling. While the initial outlay may be significant, robust construction and practical features support long-term value.
