New Compact Electromagnetic Drill Press Introduced By Milwaukee Electric Tool


New Lightweight Drill Press Features Powerful 9.0 Amp Motor, 2,300 lbs deadlift force

Brookfield, WI (March 2002) - Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces a new compact electromagnetic drill press, model 4270-20, with a powerful 1.1 max HP, 9.0 amp Milwaukee-built motor. The powerful motor handles the toughest drilling applications. A two-coil magnet, which provides 2,300 lbs of deadlift force on 1-inch thick steel, ensures stability and holding force during drilling. This tool is ideal for drilling holes in metal and is designed for use by automotive and truck builders, bridge builders, construction workers, fabricators, erectors, ship builders and steel workers.

With the highest cutting capacity in its class, the new electromagnetic drill press can drill holes up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter and two inches deep using industry standard 3/4-inch diameter shank annular cutters. With an optional chuck arbor the maximum twist bit capacity is 1/2-inch in diameter and 4 1/4-inches deep.

The Milwaukee drill press is user-friendly. The control panel is on the back of the tool where it does not interfere with the side feed handle. The handle can be easily removed and switched to the other side. An ergonomically designed carrying handle distributes weight evenly. An illuminated magnet off/on rocker switch indicates when the magnet is energized.

The mushroom drill motor button is large and clearly marked. At 15 1/3-inches and only 26.5 lbs., the drill press is easily portable and offers a superior power-to-weight ratio.

The 9.0 amp motor has an impact resistant nylon motor housing, which is more forgiving than aluminum, when dropped. The arbor has a built in coolant reservoir that holds enough cutting fluid to drill one hole in an upright position. A coolant hand pump comes standard with the tool, allowing the tool to be used in non-upright positions.

The 4270-20 compact electromagnetic drill press is backed by Milwaukee's limited warranty and Service Plus Program, providing one year of free maintenance when shipped to a Milwaukee Branch Office/Service Center.
