Mag Drill Hire Sheffield: Available ex-stock from your local equipment tool hire outlet in Sheffield are 110v operated electric magnetic drilling machines.

These tools are often referred to in the trade as a "mag base drill" or simply a "mag drill" or "rotabroach". 

They are used for the job of drilling into steel where a hand-held drill would be unsuitable or not powerful enough.

Our mag drills have a powerful electro-magnet built into their base that when energised locks (sticks by magnetic force) the drill onto the work piece. 

By doing this is allows the operator of the mag drill being hired to apply a consistent pressure / force without the base of the drill rig moving. 

One of these tools also allows the operator to bring the tool to the work-site instead of having to drill steel sections in a workshop environment. 

They allow in-situ modifications and installations to take place when working with a wide range of metal components and structures.

Booking and obtaining the temporary hire of a mag drill /rotabroach in the City of Sheffield (*as well as nearby Bakewell, Calver, Chesterfield, Clowne, Dinnington, Dronfield, Hope, Mansfield, Rotherham, Tideswell, Staveley, Wath on Dearne, and Worksop) is straight forward and really simple to arrange. 

You can either collect one of these machines in person from our local tool hire shop or arrange a fast delivery to where you need it! 

Either way, you can quickly get your hands on a Mag Drill for when you need it (our local tool hire shop is open Monday to Friday as well as Saturday mornings) along with cutting oil and a large choice of drill bits and rotabroach type cutters. 

Who typically will need to use one of these machines?

Magnetic base mag drills are regularly needed and used by engineers, metal fabrication workers, automotive and civil engineering staff, mechanical fitters, and all trades that work with metal and pipework.

What drilling bits are needed?

When you opt to hire a mag drill in Sheffield it's really important that you choose the right drilling bit or cutter. Just ask when booking the machine for hire and our staff will recommend the right accessory.

What brand of mag drill do you supply?

This can occasionally vary - but the machine will typically be a Powerbor or Rotabroach machine.

Do you also sell cutting oil?

Yes, we supply cutting and threading oil / lubricant that is purposely designed for use with a magnetic base mag drill.

Do you offer trade accounts to business users and regular hirers? 

Yes, we offer monthly payment trade accounts (subject to approval) - please contact us for an application form or more details.


Can you use one of these tools at height?


Yes, most portable mag drills (including ones from brands such as Alfra, JEI, Powerbor, and of course not forgetting Rotabroach) can be used at height providing the necessary task has been done to safely secure the tool from falling or being dropped down.

The best way to do this is by using a securing chain that attaches the mag drill by a mechanical means and not just relying on its magnetic base. In the event of a power failure this will prevent the tool from just falling down to ground level.

As long as it can be done safely you can use portable mag drills at heights when using mewps such as cherry pickers and scissor lifts, as well as when using access towers, and items such as podium steps.

Are your prices / rates competitive?

​A magnetic drill, commonly known as a mag drill, is a versatile and portable drilling machine equipped with a magnetic base that adheres to ferromagnetic surfaces. 

This feature allows for the power tool to carry out stable and precise drilling in various orientations, making it an invaluable tool across multiple industries.

---

Understanding the Mag Drill:

Mag drills are designed to perform drilling operations on metal surfaces, particularly where traditional drilling machines may be impractical. 

Their portability and magnetic adhesion enable them to operate in vertical, horizontal, and even overhead positions. They are commonly used in metalworking, construction, engineering, and steel fabrication industries. ​

---

Key Components of a Mag Drill:

1. Magnetic Base: The base contains an electromagnet or a permanent magnet that secures the drill to the metal surface, providing stability during operation.​

2. Motor: Powers the drilling operation, with varying power ratings to suit different drilling requirements.​

3. Drill Stand: Houses the motor and provides a mechanism for vertical movement, allowing the drill to feed into the material.​

4. Arbor/Chuck: Holds the cutting tool, such as an annular cutter or twist drill bit.​

---

Applications of Magnetic Drills:

1. Steel Fabrication

In steel fabrication shops, mag drills are essential for creating precise holes in structural steel components. Their portability allows fabricators to bring the drill to large work pieces, enhancing efficiency.​

2. Construction and Building

Mag drills are widely used in construction for drilling holes in steel beams, columns, and frameworks. Their ability to operate in various positions makes them ideal for on-site applications.​

3. Bridge Construction

During bridge construction, mag drills are employed to drill holes in steel plates, girders, rsj's, and support brackets. Their precision and portability are crucial for such large-scale projects.

4. Shipbuilding

Shipbuilders utilize magnetic drills to create holes in the steel structures of ships, including hulls and decks. The drills' stability and accuracy are vital in this industry.​

5. Pipeline and Offshore Industries

In pipeline construction and offshore applications, mag drills are used to drill holes in steel pipes and platforms. Their ability to operate in challenging environments is a significant advantage.​

6. Mining and Heavy Equipment Maintenance

Mag drills assist in the maintenance and repair of heavy mining equipment by allowing technicians to drill holes in large metal components on-site.​

7. Power Utilities and Railroad Industries

For power utilities, mag drills are used to drill holes in transmission towers and other steel structures. In the railroad industry, they are employed to drill holes in rails for maintenance and installation purposes. ​

---

Advantages of Using Mag Drills

• Portability: Mag drills can be easily transported to various job sites, allowing for on-site drilling without the need to move large workpieces.​

• Precision: The magnetic base provides stability, resulting in accurate and clean holes.

• Versatility: Capable of operating in multiple positions, including vertical and overhead, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

• Efficiency: Mag drills can significantly reduce drilling time compared to traditional methods, especially when using annular cutters.

---

Types of Cutting Tools Used:

Annular Cutters

Annular cutters are hollow drill bits that cut only the periphery of the hole, removing less material and producing cleaner holes. They are ideal for larger diameter holes and are commonly used with mag drills.

Twist Drill Bits

For smaller diameter holes, traditional twist drill bits can be used with mag drills, offering flexibility in drilling operations.

​

---

Safety Considerations

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the metal surface is clean and free from debris to maximize magnetic adhesion.

• Material Thickness: The magnetic base requires a minimum material thickness (typically around 3/8") for effective adhesion. 

• Use on Non-Ferrous Materials: Magnetic drills are designed for ferromagnetic materials. When working with non-ferrous metals like aluminum, additional clamping devices are necessary. 

• 
  

---

Conclusion / Summary

Mag drills are indispensable tools in industries that require precise and efficient drilling of metal components. 

Their portability, versatility, and accuracy make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from construction and fabrication to maintenance and repair. 

By understanding their capabilities and proper usage, professionals can enhance productivity and achieve high-quality results in their drilling operations.

Garden Machinery That You Can Hire In Sheffield

There is a wide range of all types of garden machinery that you can temporarily hire in the City of Sheffield that is located in South Yorkshire. 

Being one of the largest Cities in the UK it is no surprise that there is freely available garden machinery for hire such as petrol lawn mowing machines, hedge trimmers and hedge cutters, long reach pole trimmers, and gardening tools including lawn turf strippers and petrol rotavators.

Who rents gardening tools?

Garden tools are used by several different groups of consumers including trade contractors such as landscapers, grounds maintenance staff, and professional gardeners. They are also used by people who operate businesses where they offer a grass cutting or gardening service to the public, local authorities, and anyone else that needs a regular lawn mowing service or garden maintenance service from the months of typically March through to late September in Sheffield.

Garden tools are also rented by home users (that are normally classed as a domestic or DIY user) where they are put to use on their own property or maybe their allotment.

Domestic users normally have a small selection of gardening tools that they regularly need, these include machines that are used for soil preparation in garden borders such as a petrol tiller. For the tidying-up of overgrown gardens the petrol brushcutter or strimmer machine is a good choice, petrol lawn mowers are always in-demand, as are hedge trimmers and hedge cutting machines.

How long do people typically rent gardening tools for?  

Domestic users will normally choose to hire an item of garden machinery for a period of time where it is convenient for them to get carry out the necessary work. For any private users that work full time this means hiring for weekend periods or maybe spreading it out over a weekend and a bank holiday if this is possible.

Trade users will hire for short, medium, and long term periods depending on what contracts they have to service and with what equipment they have to-hand. Trade users in Sheffield will hire garden machinery when they don't have enough machines or tools to carry out their daily workload, when their own equipment is being serviced or has broken down, or if they have a one-off job and it is more cost effective to hire an item of garden machinery rather than buy one.

Is garden machinery expensive to hire?

Bearing in-mind that tool hire shops only provide quality and heavy duty items of equipment - garden machinery hire is really cost effective when compared to buying the same products on a like-to-like basis.

Take for example a petrol rotary lawn mower, your local tool hire shop will typically supply a mower that has cost several hundred pounds, not a cheap DIY mower like you can buy online or from a home improvement shop! The lawn mower they supply will be heavy duty, of a recognised brand name, and one that is capable of regular tough work. For a gardening tool such as this you can expect to pay in the price band of say £20.00 to £30.00 for a days hire.
