Frosty Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Milwaukee is hard to beat for a Mag Drill but there are other brands and I don't know how they compare. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Welcome from the Ozark mountains. Depends on what you want to do with it and what your budget is. Milwaukee is the best rated industrial magnetic drill press and it costs $20629.00 U.S. Also where in the world you are located has an effect on prices and availability. If you want the lowest priced Vevor makes one that costs $180.90 U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Waaay back when I used to build power transmission poles we used hougan mag drills and they were supposed to be the best. I see by a search they now have many competitors. I don't think they cost quite as much as a Milwaukee at todays prices though I may be wrong.... I didn't look up the specs on the new ones, but was a bit shocked on the cost for some. We used annular bits/cutters and the cost for the cutters alone were astronomical.
