Hougen Manufacturing, a globally respected toolmaker, produces high-performance portable magnetic drills available in Canada through Dobco Equipment. These innovative tools eliminate the need to maneuver large steel or pipe sections to stationary drill presses, allowing workers to bring the drill directly to the workpiece—saving time and effort.
A Top Performer for Tough Jobs
Also known as mag drills, Hougen’s portable magnetic drills are designed for drilling holes in steel and other metals. Their ability to operate vertically, horizontally, or even upside-down makes them indispensable in industries such as steel fabrication, construction, bridge repair, mining, shipbuilding, welding, power utilities, and mobile repair services.
Dobco Equipment offers a wide selection of Hougen mag drills, each tailored to different needs. Among them, the HMD904 stands out as a favorite for fabricators. Compact yet powerful, it boasts a drilling capacity of 1½ by two inches and has been recently upgraded for improved performance. Enhancements include a reinforced ergonomic housing, a built-in pilot light for low-light conditions, and a two-stage magnet that delivers 30% more power. Additionally, the HMD904 now features a slot drive arbor for faster accessory changes and a swivel base for precise hole alignment.
A Range of Solutions for Every Challenge
Hougen manufactures ten distinct mag drill models, each optimized for specific tasks. The HMD115 and HMD130 excel in confined spaces, while the HMD927 includes a power feed for increased productivity. Other models offer variable speed settings, ensuring the right tool for every job.
With their durability, adaptability, and user-friendly innovations, Hougen’s mag drills continue to set the standard for efficiency in demanding industrial environments.
