Magneettiporakone Makita HB500 1150W 12-50mm 2-vaihteinen

The Makita HB500 Magnetic Drill is a compact, high-power drilling solution designed for metalworking and on-site construction tasks. Equipped with a 1150W motor and a magnetic base, it offers stable performance when creating clean, accurate holes in steel and other ferrous materials. The tool supports hole diameters from 12 mm to 50 mm and features a lightweight design with dual-speed settings to match a range of materials and cutting conditions.

Advantages

The HB500 combines a strong 1150W motor with a secure magnetic base to deliver consistent drilling accuracy. Dual-speed control allows selection of an appropriate speed range for different hole sizes and material thicknesses, improving cutter life and finish quality. The drill's relatively light construction and ergonomic layout reduce operator fatigue during repetitive tasks and make it easier to position and transport between job sites. Built to suit industrial environments, it balances power, stability and maneuverability.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in structural steel, plates and beams
• On-site fabrication and maintenance work
• Installation of anchors, bolts and pipe penetrations
• Workshop use for metal fabrication and prototyping

Key specifications

• Motor power: 1150 W
• Drilling capacity: 12–50 mm diameter
• Drive: dual-speed gearbox for variable rotational speeds
• Magnetic base for stable adhesion to ferrous surfaces
• Lightweight, portable design suitable for job-site use

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the magnetic base adheres to a clean, flat ferrous surface before starting. Select the appropriate speed setting for the chosen cutter diameter and material, then align the pilot or annular cutter with the intended hole location. Start the motor and apply steady, even feed pressure; allow the cutter to do the work to prevent overheating. After completing the hole, retract the cutter while the motor is idling to reduce burr formation. Turn off the drill and release the magnetic base before moving the tool.

Recommendations

Use appropriate annular cutters sized to the required hole diameter and ensure they are sharp and compatible with the drill’s arbor. Apply cutting fluid on thicker or harder materials to extend cutter life and improve chip evacuation. Follow safety practices: wear eye and hand protection, disconnect power before changing cutters, and verify magnetic adhesion before drilling.
