The FEIN Slugger JMC Magforce 90 Compact Magnetic Drill packs serious drilling capability into an incredibly small package. At just 6-5/8 inches tall and under 19 lbs, this low-profile mag drill is engineered to go where conventional magnetic drills simply won't fit—making it an outstanding choice for truck frames, structural steel, equipment repair, fabrication, field installation, and other jobs where access is limited.
Don't let its small size fool you. The Magforce 90 combines a powerful 1,200-watt brushless motor with electronic speed control and an impressive 2,248 lbs of magnetic holding force. The result is a compact professional machine capable of drilling holes up to 1-3/8 inches in diameter and 1-3/8 inches deep with compatible annular cutters.
Unlike many compact magnetic drills, the JMC Magforce 90 isn't limited to simply drilling holes. Its variable-speed, forward and reverse operation expands the machine's capabilities to include annular cutting, twist drilling up to 9/16 inch, countersinking up to 1-1/4 inch, and even tapping up to 3/8 inch or M10. That versatility makes it much more than a specialty low-profile drill—it is a compact, multi-purpose holemaking machine for professional metalworkers.
Access is where the Magforce 90 really earns its keep. With an overall height of only 6-5/8 inches and length of approximately 11-7/16 inches, it can reach into confined areas where a traditional upright mag drill won't fit. Its low 18.7 lb weight also makes the machine considerably easier to position when working vertically or overhead.
FEIN takes the compact design even further with a ratcheting feed handle. Instead of requiring the clearance needed to swing conventional feed handles, the included ratchet can be operated in extremely restricted spaces and can be used on the left or right side. The feed can also be driven using any 1/2 inch square drive or 8mm hex, giving the operator additional options when clearance is especially tight.
This combination makes the Magforce 90 especially well suited for truck and equipment frames, bridge work, structural fabrication, machinery repair, field installation, and overhead drilling.
At the heart of the JMC Magforce 90 is FEIN's high-performance brushless motor. In addition to helping make the machine exceptionally compact, the brushless design eliminates traditional carbon brush maintenance and provides excellent speed stability under load. Electronic speed control allows the operator to match spindle speed to the cutter, hole size, and operation while maintaining consistent cutting RPM. The machine's 130–610 RPM full-load speed range provides the versatility needed for annular cutters, twist drills, countersinks, and tapping applications.
Forward and reverse operation significantly expands what you can accomplish with the Magforce 90. In addition to drilling with standard3/4 inch Weldon-shank annular cutters, the machine can be equipped for conventional twist drilling (up to 9/16), countersinking, and thread tapping. With a maximum tapping capacity of 3/8 inch or M10, the Magforce 90 can drill and tap holes in position without requiring a separate tapping machine.
A compact drill still needs a solid foundation. The Magforce 90 develops approximately 2,248 lbs of magnetic holding force to securely anchor the machine to suitable steel surfaces during drilling. FEIN also incorporates a tilt-sensor safety shutoff. If the machine detects movement or begins to break free from the workpiece, the system shuts down the drill motor. A magnetic holding-force display provides additional feedback to the operator before drilling begins.
The JMC Magforce 90 is German engineered and manufactured by FEIN for demanding professional metalworking applications. Its compact dimensions aren't achieved by simply reducing the size and capability of a conventional mag drill. FEIN designed the motor, gearbox, spindle feed, controls, and magnetic base as an integrated system to deliver serious drilling performance in spaces where larger machines cannot operate. For fabricators and tradesmen who depend on their equipment every day, the result is a premium compact mag drill that combines portability, accessibility, versatility, and the durability expected from FEIN professional power tools.
If your work regularly puts you in places where a standard magnetic drill is simply too tall, the FEIN Slugger JMC Magforce 90 offers an impressive solution. It combines the accessibility of a specialized low-profile mag drill with the power, variable speed, reversing capability, tapping capability, safety features, and premium engineering of a full-featured professional machine.
