Description

This compact magnetic drill includes the coolant pump, safety strap, chip hook, centering pins, chip guard, and an L-BOXX 238 carrying case.

Product Overview

The Fein JMC MAGFORCE 90 magnetic drill delivers 1,200 W in the most compact and lightweight format in its category, weighing only 18.74 lbs (8.50 kg). Its HighPerformance brushless motor drills up to 1-3/8 in. in steel while fitting into the tightest spaces.

The 2,248 lbs (10,000 N) magnetic force provides a secure hold, even in vertical or overhead positions. The ratcheting handle lets you work in areas where a standard wrench would not fit.

This portable magnetic drill press features a tilt sensor that shuts off the motor if the machine slips, for safe drilling on job sites and in metalworking shops alike.

Kit Advantages

Compactness

The most compact and lightweight format in its category, at only 18.74 lbs, lets you drill in spaces standard magnetic drills can't reach.

Portability

The L-BOXX 238 case makes it easy to move between job sites and stacks with other L-BOXX modules.

Precision

The centering pins and chip guard ensure precise, safe drilling from the first use.

Recommended Complementary Accessories

To maximize the lifespan of your magnetic drill, the following accessories are sold separately:

Care and Usage

First Use

Before first use, follow these steps to prepare your magnetic drill:

  1. Check the cord and housing - Inspect the power cord and housing for damage before plugging in the drill.
  2. Fill the coolant pump - Fill the supplied coolant pump to protect the annular cutter from the first drilling operation.
  3. Attach the safety strap - Secure the safety strap to the workpiece before drilling in vertical, horizontal, or overhead positions.
  4. Install the cutter with the ratchet - Use the supplied 1/2 in. ratchet to install the cutter in tight spaces where a standard wrench won't fit.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance extends the magnetic drill's service life and keeps drilling precision consistent.

After each use:

  • Wipe down the housing and magnetic base to remove chips and cutting residue
  • Empty and clean the coolant pump
  • Store the drill in its L-BOXX 238 case

Magnetic base care:

  • Keep the magnetic base surface free of rust and chips for optimal magnetic force
  • Check that the work surface is clean and paint-free before each setup

Cleaning and Maintenance

Recommended periodic maintenance:

  1. Brushless motor cleaning - Remove metal dust from ventilation openings with low-pressure compressed air. The brushless motor requires no carbon brush replacement.
  2. Tilt sensor check - Periodically test the tilt sensor to confirm automatic shutoff in case of slippage.
  3. Ratchet handle lubrication - Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the ratchet mechanism for smooth movement.

Safety Precautions

For your safety:

  • Non-magnetic work surface - Avoid using the drill on a surface that won't hold the magnet, as the setup would not be secure.
  • Removing the cutter before full stop - Wait for the spindle to come to a complete stop before removing the cutter or chips.
  • Drilling without the safety strap - Never drill overhead or in elevated positions without securing the supplied safety strap.
  • Use in unstable confined spaces - Make sure the base rests fully on the metal surface; the tilt sensor may trigger if stability is compromised.

Storage Tips

Short-term storage:

  • Store the drill in its L-BOXX case, away from moisture, between job sites

Long-term storage:

  • Fully empty the coolant pump and store in a dry location at a stable temperature

Winter storage in Canada:

  • Avoid storing the drill in an unheated area where the coolant fluid could freeze; drain the pump before winter

Frequently Asked Questions - Fein JMC MAGFORCE 90 Magnetic Drill

What is the maximum drilling capacity of the Fein JMC MAGFORCE 90 magnetic drill?

The JMC MAGFORCE 90 drills up to 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) diameter with an annular cutter, to the same 1-3/8 in. (35 mm) depth. With a twist drill bit, maximum capacity is 9/16 in. (14 mm).

What is the difference between the JMC MAGFORCE 90 and the Fein JMU137-2QW universal magnetic drill?

The MAGFORCE 90 is Fein's compact, lightweight model at 18.74 lbs, versus 24.47 lbs for the JMU137-2QW. Its ratcheting handle and reduced dimensions make it ideal for tight spaces, while the JMU137-2QW offers a 2-speed gearbox for greater versatility.

Is this magnetic drill compatible with annular cutters from other brands?

The 3/4 in. Weldon shank on the JMC MAGFORCE 90 is an industry standard compatible with most Weldon-shank annular cutters, in addition to Fein Slugger cutters. See our 1-3/8 in. Fein carbide cutter for an example of a compatible diameter.

What's included with the JMC MAGFORCE 90 magnetic drill?

The kit includes the drill, a coolant pump, a safety strap, a chip hook, a chip guard, centering pins, a 1/2 in. ratchet with extension, an Allen key set, and an L-BOXX 238 carrying case.

What warranty covers this magnetic drill?

Fein provides a 1-year base warranty, extendable to 3 years under the FEIN PLUS warranty by registering the tool within 3 months of purchase. Équipement Industriel Polar also offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all purchases.

How do I maintain the magnetic base of the drill?

Keep the base surface free of rust, paint, and metal chips to maintain the full 2248 lbs magnetic holding force. Wipe the base after each use and check that the work surface is clean before each setup.

Can this magnetic drill be used outdoors in cold Canadian winters?

Yes, the JMC MAGFORCE 90 is built for job site use, but the coolant fluid can freeze below 0°C (32°F). Drain the coolant pump before winter storage and check that the safety strap remains properly secured in cold conditions.

Where are Fein magnetic drills manufactured?

Fein has been independently manufacturing its magnetic core drills at its US production facility since 1977, with decades of experience building industrial drilling tools.
