Milwaukee 4270-21 9 Amp Electromagnetic Drill Press Kit

by Milwaukee

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

For remote drilling in metal, the 4270 is a great choice. The entire tool weighs just 26-1/2 pounds and has a comfortable carrying handle well positioned for balance, with cutter wrenches stored on-board. This is a very portable machine, however, power was not sacrificed for portability. This drill press includes a very powerful 1.1 maximum horsepower, 9.0 amp motor and can drill up to 1-1/2-inch diameter holes through 2-inch thick steel with annular cutters, or 1/2-inch diameter holes 4-1/4-inches deep with twist drill bits. The tool is set up to accept standard 3/4-inch Weldon shank cutters, or an optional 3-jaw chuck is available for use with twist drill bits. The strong two-coil magnet provides 2,300 lbs. of deadlift force on 1-inch thick steel. The simple two-button control panel is located on the back, away from feed handle obstruction. The feed handle can be conveniently relocated to the opposite side without the use of tools.

I like this drill, but the picture that was shown on the website showed several annular cutters and the twist bit drill chuck - when the package arrived none of these items were inside! Since then (a week or so later) the image has been updated, and a more comprehensive description has been entered on the website. I think that Amazon.com is great in many ways, but sometimes there is a shortage of information on the website, this is the first time that I feel that I have been let down.

This unit is compact. And looks like it will last us a long time. Make sure you understand what comes in the case and what does not. The 1/2 Drill chucks had to purchased elsewhere and were not in stock at all locations. So plan ahead and be patient. THis unit is excellent for field repairs and in house repairs that require odd angle drilling.

This is the second of this model of mag drill we have purchased.

It is easy to use and quite light. We use these up in the air at height all the time.

Safety wise I like the easy to turnoff feature if something or somneone gets caught in the drill.

You definately need to purchase the key type chuck to use standard drill bits.
