Dobco Equipment Ltd. offers a range of innovative power tools from Hougen Manufacturing, a pioneer in portable magnetic drill technology. Among its standout products is the HMD130 ultra-low-profile magnetic drill, a lightweight yet high-capacity right-angle drill designed for efficiency in tight spaces.
Power and Precision in a Compact Design
The HMD130 features an eight-amp, 115-volt motor, delivering smooth, high-torque performance for drilling one-inch holes up to 1-3/8 inches in diameter. Its patented quill feed arbour minimizes vibration and maintenance, while the RotaLoc Plus annular cutters enable tool-free, quick-change functionality for seamless operation.
Key Features for Enhanced Usability
Portability: Weighing just 10.8 kg with an included carrying case and handle.
Versatility: Feed handle switches sides for ambidextrous use.
Safety: Lift-detector system, LED indicator, and two-stage power-on switch prevent accidental operation.
Efficiency: Rear-mounted controls, positive slug ejection, and a ratchet alternative to the feed handle streamline workflow.
Robust Performance for Demanding Applications
Available with two base plate options—25 mm (982 kg dead lift rating) or 9.5 mm (544 kg dead lift rating)—the HMD130 excels in:
- General fabrication
- Truck-frame modifications
- Facility maintenance
- Onsite assembly and installation
Safety First
Hougen’s no-adjustment safety switch automatically shuts off the drill if the magnetic base disengages, while an LED indicator provides real-time sensor feedback. Additional safeguards include a magnet-engagement requirement for motor activation and a manual restart after power restoration.
Ideal for Tight Spaces
Combining power, portability, and safety, the HMD130 is engineered for professionals who demand precision in confined workspaces.
