Unibor E6000 Electric Magnetic Drill Product Guide

The Unibor E6000 Electric Magnetic Drill is a heavy-duty magnetic drill designed primarily to tackle drilling and machining tasks on steel and other ferrous metal surfaces. By securely attaching to metal workpieces via its powerful electromagnetic base, it eliminates the need for clamps or welding, solving a common challenge of maintaining drill stability on vertical or irregular steel surfaces during fabrication or repair work.

This type of magnetic drill is commonly used in environments where portable, precise, and safe metal drilling is required. It is particularly suited for industrial fabrication shops, structural steel construction sites, and maintenance operations where core drilling, twist drilling, countersinking, and tapping must be performed efficiently on steel beams, plates, or pipes. The E6000’s two-speed gearbox and 1500 W motor accommodate a variety of drilling functions, enabling operators to complete multi-stage machining jobs without frequent tool changes.

Where This Is Used

• Structural steel fabrication and assembly shops
• On-site metal construction and bridge building
• Industrial maintenance and repair of steel frameworks and machinery

Key Details

Selection Notes

When selecting a magnetic drill like the Unibor E6000, consider the thickness and flatness of the steel surface for optimal magnet hold. The magnetic base is not effective on non-ferrous or painted surfaces unless properly prepared. Confirm that the job’s hole sizes align with the cutter capacity—up to 2-3/8" annular cutters and twist drills up to 3/4" in diameter are supported, covering most structural drilling applications. The 3" cutting depth suits medium-thickness steel commonly found in beams and plates. Also verify access to appropriate electric power and plan cable routing to avoid interference. DrillSmart technology provides monitoring to help maintain cutter condition, which supports longer tool life and consistent drilling quality on demanding jobs.

Drill Setup Notes

Ensure the steel surface is free of scale, rust, oil, and debris before placing the magnetic drill to maximize magnet adhesion. Position and secure the drill using the magnetic base on a flat area with enough clearance for cutter movement. The quick-release handle allows ergonomic setup and feeding pressure control. Use clamps or additional mechanical restraint only if needed for unusual surface conditions. The integrated LED work light improves visibility in low-light conditions often encountered in fabrication shops or construction sites. After installing the desired cutter or drill bit, perform a short trial run to check magnet hold and correct rotational speed before beginning the full operation.
