Use this guide as a controlled decision record: connect every recommendation to the stated application, applicable AXIMET source and quoted configuration. Keep unknown specifications and commercial conditions visible for confirmation so the final approval remains traceable from enquiry through receiving and repeat ordering.
Start with the mounting surface
For start with the mounting surface, record the requirement, controlled source, approval decision and every unresolved field before the purchase is released.
Magnetic drilling depends on a suitable ferrous contact area. Material, thickness, flatness, coatings, contamination and curvature can change the setup; rated holding information is not a guarantee for every workpiece.
Within Magnetic Drill Selection by Workpiece Material and Industry, the section “Start with the mounting surface” should become a documented procurement check rather than a general discussion. Define the application, named model or configuration, responsible reviewer and controlled source used for the decision. If a value is not present in an applicable product table, quotation or written confirmation, keep it open. A similar name, photograph or headline specification does not prove that two configurations are equivalent. This section primarily controls application and model identity.
Issue the same requirement sheet to every supplier and record inclusions, exclusions, deviations and pending answers in separate fields. This prevents a price difference from hiding a different machine, cutter interface, accessory package, electrical version or documentation scope. Product and factory images can support identification and process context, but they are not substitutes for model traceability, compatibility confirmation, inspection criteria or order-specific evidence.
Consider how the decision will be used after quotation. The receiving team should be able to verify product identity, quantity, marking, visible condition, electrical or interface references and agreed package contents. Warehouse and sales teams need the same controlled names so compatible machines, cutters and accessories are not mixed. For a repeat order, cite the approved revision and review any proposed substitute as a new controlled option.
Close “Start with the mounting surface” with a verifiable answer and an owner for every remaining action. Confirm with AXIMET any interface, performance statement, certificate, inspection record, delivery term, minimum quantity or private-label detail that remains open. Do not fill the gap with an industry assumption or transfer data from a nearby model. Keeping technical facts, commercial conditions and OEM presentation separate makes the approval more useful for procurement, quality control and replenishment.
Translate the hole schedule into machine requirements
For translate the hole schedule into machine requirements, record the requirement, controlled source, approval decision and every unresolved field before the purchase is released.
List minimum and maximum diameter, cutting depth, cutter construction, interface, speed needs, stroke and clearance. Confirm the complete machine–cutter–pilot system.

Use industry context without overgeneralizing
For use industry context without overgeneralizing, record the requirement, controlled source, approval decision and every unresolved field before the purchase is released.
Fabrication shops may prioritize a repeatable range; structural installation may prioritize access and handling; maintenance teams may need compatibility with existing cutters. Shipbuilding, railway and bridge work still require job-specific workpiece review.

Map applications to procurement questions
For map applications to procurement questions, record the requirement, controlled source, approval decision and every unresolved field before the purchase is released.
Use the industry as a prompt, then verify the workpiece.

| Context | Typical decision focus | Confirm before quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Steel fabrication | Hole schedule and repeatability | Plate or beam, diameter, depth, speed |
| Structural installation | Position and access | Contact area, clearance, retention requirements |
| Machinery maintenance | Existing system compatibility | Machine, cutter, shank and accessories |
| Pipe work | Curved mounting | Pipe diameter and applicable configuration |
| Distributor range | Market coverage | Common applications, capacities and voltage |
Send an application brief, not only an industry name
For send an application brief, not only an industry name, record the requirement, controlled source, approval decision and every unresolved field before the purchase is released.
Include drawings or safe photos when geometry is difficult to describe, while keeping the written specification as the controlled reference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a magnetic drill work on every metal?
No. The mounting setup requires a suitable ferrous contact surface and model-specific review.
What matters more, industry or workpiece?
The workpiece and hole requirement control selection; industry adds operating context.
How should curved workpieces be handled?
Use a confirmed pipe or curved-work configuration rather than assuming a flat base will fit.
Does a larger maximum diameter solve more applications?
Not automatically; depth, speed, stroke, access, tooling and mounting also matter.
What should distributors stock?
Build around common local applications and confirmed capacity groups instead of every available model.
What information improves a recommendation?
Send material, geometry, thickness, hole schedule, position, clearance, cutter and electrical requirements.
Conclusion
A reliable selection begins with the workpiece and hole, then adds industry-specific access, handling and supply needs. This prevents broad application labels from replacing technical confirmation.
