Rotabroach Magnetic And Rail Cutters

Choose the Right Rotabroach Cutter for the Job

Drilling large holes in steel can become slow and inefficient if the wrong cutting tools are used. Standard drill bits often remove more material than necessary, creating increased cutting resistance, more heat, and greater wear on the tool.

As annular cutters, rotabroach cutters cut around the outside edge of a hole while leaving a solid section in the centre, which removes less material during drilling, helping you create clean, accurate holes with reduced effort.

For professionals using a magnetic drill, choosing the correct cutter specification matters. The right magnetic drill cutter depends on factors such as:

• The material being drilled.
• The required hole diameter.
• The thickness of the material.
• The drilling depth needed.
• The frequency of use.

Rennie Tool supplies Rotabroach cutters for a wide range of applications, including structural steel fabrication, engineering, construction, and railway maintenance.

Rotabroach Cutters for Steel Fabrication and Engineering Applications

A reliable annular cutter helps fabricators and engineers complete drilling work more efficiently, particularly when creating larger diameter holes in steel sections, plates, and structural components. Mag drill cutters are commonly used for:

• Drilling bolt holes in steel beams and columns.
• Preparing steel plates for fabrication and assembly.
• Installing brackets, supports and fixings.
• Manufacturing machinery components.
• Carrying out repairs and modifications on heavy equipment.

Unlike conventional drilling methods, magnetic drilling with the correct Rotabroach cutter allows holes to be produced directly on steel structures and large components that may be difficult to move. This makes them particularly useful for site-based work where accuracy, speed, and portability are important.

Select the Right Cutter Depth for Your Application

Short Series Mag Drill Cutters

Short series Rotabroach cutters are suitable for general fabrication applications where a standard cutting depth is required. For example, the Rotabroach M2AL HSS Raptor Mag drill cutter is designed for producing accurate holes in steel components such as brackets, plates, and structural sections. 

Long Series Mag Drill Cutters 

When working with thicker materials, long series mag drill cutters provide the additional cutting depth needed for deeper holes. The Rotabroach Long Series 50mm Deep M2AL HSS Raptor Mag Drill Cutter is designed for applications where standard cutters may not provide enough reach.

Rotabroach Rail Cutters for Railway Applications

Rail drilling requires specialist tooling designed to handle demanding materials and working conditions. Standard cutters may not be suitable for railway applications where rail steel requires a cutter designed for the specific challenge.

Rail cutters are developed for drilling holes in railway tracks and components, supporting applications such as:

• Rail installation.
• Track maintenance.
• Infrastructure repairs.
• Fitting signalling and support equipment.

Rennie Tool supplies specialist Rotabroach rail cutters, including M42 and tungsten carbide tipped options, designed for demanding rail drilling applications where durability and reliable cutting performance are essential.
