Good Day Gents!
Many of you recently helped me identify and order a new Ironworker so I come to humbly ask for your wisdom, again! We are an industrial maintenance department that does a large amount of custom machine building in support of our companies growth. (To the point that we are almost a company inside the company!) We have 10 full time employees specifically assigned machine building tasks.
We are in need of a good mag-drill to allow us to drill (and sometimes tap) holes in a variety of frames that range from 1/4"-5/8" thick and 1.25" diameter holes. I would like to invest in a good drill that can support us thru the next few years. It does not matter whether it is battery or corded. Right now I am up in the air on an 18v Milwaukee or a Hougen.
I've used several different over the years in a maintenance function but not to the level that we will need. (One day we will get a large CNC that can do this for us but we aren't there yet.) Thoughts?
