About Mag Drill Accessories
Mag drill accessories are essential components that expand the functionality and versatility of magnetic drilling machines. This comprehensive category at MyToolShed.co.uk includes adaptor systems, drill chucks, tapping chucks, vacuum plates, cutting fluid hoses, and specialised mounting solutions. These accessories enable tradespeople to tackle a wider range of drilling applications, switch between different cutting tools quickly, and work on challenging surfaces including non-magnetic and textured materials.
From Fein's innovative QuickIN quick-change adaptors to Rotabroach replacement parts and Sealey accessories, MyToolShed stocks professional-grade components designed to enhance productivity and precision. Whether you need to convert shank sizes, perform tapping operations, work on pipe surfaces, or drill without magnetic contact, the right accessories transform your mag drill into a more capable and efficient tool.
Applications
Mag drill accessories serve professionals across multiple industries and trades:
- Steel fabricators and welders – adapting drills for different hole sizes and tapping threads in structural steel
- Construction and civil engineering – drilling operations on steel framework and reinforced structures
- Mechanical fitters and maintenance engineers – equipment installation and repair work requiring precise hole placement
- Railway and transport engineering – working on rolling stock, bridges, and infrastructure
- Shipbuilding and offshore industries – drilling on hull plates and marine structures
- HVAC installers – mounting brackets and penetrations through steel ducting
- Electrical contractors – cable entry points in distribution boards and steel enclosures
Choosing The Right Mag Drill Accessories
Selecting compatible accessories depends on several key factors. First, verify your mag drill model and brand – Fein accessories feature model-specific adaptors for the KBU, KBM, and KBE series, whilst other manufacturers have different fitment requirements. Check the shank size compatibility, with common standards including Weldon shanks (19mm, 32mm), QuickIN systems, and threaded fittings like 1/2" x 20UNF.
Consider your intended applications when choosing accessories. For tapping operations, select the appropriate size tapping chuck and reducing inserts. If working on non-magnetic surfaces like stainless steel or aluminium, a vacuum plate attachment is essential. Pipe drilling clamps enable secure positioning on curved surfaces, whilst flex-jointed cutting fluid hoses improve coolant delivery in awkward positions.
Quality matters significantly with accessories that endure regular use and high loads. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks professional brands like Fein and Rotabroach, engineered to precise tolerances for reliable performance and long service life. Quick-change systems reduce downtime between operations, whilst keyed chucks provide maximum grip for conventional drill bits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QuickIN adaptor system?
QuickIN is Fein's rapid tool-change system that allows instant switching between cutters, drill chucks, and tapping attachments without tools. Different QuickIN adaptors suit specific mag drill models (KBU 35, KBM 50/65, KBM 80 U), enabling compatibility across various accessory types including Weldon shanks and threaded fittings.
Can I use mag drill accessories on non-magnetic surfaces?
Yes, vacuum plate accessories create suction adhesion on non-magnetic and textured surfaces including stainless steel, aluminium, plastics, and coated materials. These plates attach to your mag drill base and use either manual vacuum pumps or powered vacuum systems to maintain secure positioning during drilling operations.
What's the difference between Weldon shank sizes?
Weldon shanks are classified by diameter and series number. Size 2 (19mm diameter) suits lighter mag drills and smaller cutters, whilst Size 3 (32mm diameter) handles larger annular cutters and higher torque applications. Reducing inserts and adaptors allow compatibility between different size systems on the same mag drill.
