Fein SLUGGER MagForce 90 Compact Magnetic Drill

Description

Bore through cramped truck chassis channels using the Fein SLUGGER MagForce 90 Magnetic Drill. This ultra-compact tool clears vertical openings down to 6-11/16in while punching 1-3/8in holes in structural steel plate. The direct mechanical ratchet feed fits restricted spots, though thick structural steel over 1-3/16in requires separate pilot pin extensions and specialized shallow cutters.

Die-cast magnesium encases the internal bevel gearbox, producing high torsional rigidity across continuous jobs. The 1,150W brush-type motor runs on standard 120V single-phase power pulling 9.6 FLA to drive the spindle at 400 RPM under load. The electromagnetic shoe measures 7-1/8in long by 3-3/4in wide, supplying 2,250 lbs holding force at a dry weight of 18.7 lbs.

Key Features of Fein SLUGGER MagForce 90

Fabrication shops buy this machine to slash setup labor when analyzing commercial chassis drilling costs. The right-angle transmission slips into structural beam openings without torch work.

• Compact 6-11/16in overall height clears restrictive truck frame channels and structural steel gussets.
• Direct bevel gear transmission channels full motor torque directly into the cutting edge.
• Ratcheting feed handle mounts on either chassis side to clear adjacent beam obstructions.
• Internal motor cable eliminates loose wires that snag on rough flame-cut steel edges.
• Electronic tilt sensor disengages drill rotation if the base shifts during the cut.
• Direct 3/4in Weldon tool mounting stops cutter wobble and arbor chatter.
• Integrated gravity coolant feed directs cutting lubricant into the kerf.
• High-density magnet coils hold position on vertical structural columns down to 1/4in plate.

Thrust Deflection Spindle Runout Data

Spindle runout tests at 0.0004in TIR measured at the 3/4in Weldon tool mount. Maximum manual thrust reaches 500 lbs before showing 0.0007in slide deflection in A36 plate. Operational sound pressure measures 81 dB at operator distance under full chip load. Internal motor housing temperature stabilizes at 134°F during back-to-back structural beam penetrations. Peak electrical draw climbs to 9.2A under full cutter engagement without tripping typical 15A jobsite breakers.

Field Service Maintenance Rules

The 3/8in drive feed ratchet demands 8 lbs torque when advancing cutters into structural steel. Sealed membrane power switches offer positive tactile detents through insulated leather work gloves. Do not select this right-angle drill for twist drilling operations or plate thicknesses exceeding 1-3/16in depth.

• Apply ISO 68 machine way oil to sliding gib channels every 15 operating hours.
• Clean metal shavings off the magnetic base plate before each setup sequence.
• Check motor carbon brush lengths and spring tension every 100 hours of run time.
