72709461090 - Fein KBE 35 JME Short Slugger II Mag Drill

Professional Grade Drilling with the Fein Short Slugger II

The Fein JME Short Slugger II Magnetic Core Drill (SKU: 72709461090) represents the pinnacle of compact drilling technology for the industrial steel fabricator. Engineered by Fein, the inventors of the electromagnetic drill, this unit is designed to withstand the rigors of daily heavy-duty use while maintaining a form factor that allows for portability and ease of handling. At the heart of the machine is a high-performance 850-watt motor that delivers consistent torque and speed, ensuring clean cuts through structural steel, plate, and beams.

One of the standout features of the Short Slugger II is its uncompromising durability. The gearbox has been specifically engineered for longevity, boasting an operational life of up to 400 hours, which significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs over the lifespan of the tool. This reliability is complemented by smart design choices such as internal motor cable routing. By tucking the cables inside the housing, Fein eliminates the common job site hazard of snagged or severed cords, enhancing both safety and durability.

Safety is paramount in the design of the JME Short Slugger II. It features a sophisticated motion sensor that immediately cuts power to the motor if the magnetic base slips or tilts during operation. This prevents damage to the cutter and protects the operator from potential kickback. Additionally, the unit includes a magnetic holding force display, giving the user visual confirmation that the magnet has achieved sufficient adhesion to the workpiece before drilling begins. This is particularly critical when working on uneven surfaces or thinner gauge materials where magnetic flux can be compromised.

Weighing in at just roughly 23 lbs, this magnetic drill is an excellent choice for vertical and overhead drilling applications where operator fatigue is a concern. The integrated internal cooling system ensures that cutting fluid is delivered directly to the cutting edge, prolonging the life of your annular cutters and ensuring a high-quality finish on every hole. Whether you are in a fabrication shop or on a construction site, the Fein Short Slugger II delivers the precision and power required for professional results.
