Mobile Mag-Drill Hole Service
Offer on-site hole drilling in structural steel, truck frames, mezzanines, and baseplates where bringing parts to a shop is costly. Specialize in 1-7/16 in holes up to 2 in deep with clean finishes, including layout, drilling, and deburring. Target contractors, facilities, and farm/industrial clients.
Anchor Baseplates & Gusset Kits
Produce and sell steel baseplates and gusset kits pre-drilled with 1-7/16 in holes suited for heavy anchor bolts or oversized clearance needs. Keep common patterns in stock and offer custom spacing via quick-turn drilling. Bundle with templates and fasteners for fence posts, columns, and equipment pads.
Pass-Through & Gland Panels
Fabricate control panels and bulkheads with 1-7/16 in pass-throughs for 1-1/4 in copper tubing, hose bulkheads, or grommeted cable runs. Market to breweries, hydroponics, HVAC, and makerspaces needing neat, repeatable penetrations in thicker plate or enclosures.
Upcycled Slug Products
Turn the 1-7/16 in steel slugs into sellable items: magnets, keychains, ‘weld coins,’ shop tokens, mosaic kits, or logo-stamped medallions. Finish with tumble, black oxide, paint fill, or powder coat. Package as DIY art kits or branded swag for local businesses.
Mag-Drill Tooling Rental + Training
Rent a magnetic drill with the 1-7/16 in HSS annular cutter, including safety gear, cutting fluid, and a quick-start guide. Offer a short on-site setup and safety training add-on. Upsell consumables and optional clamping fixtures to contractors and maintenance departments.

Industrial Light Panel
Drill a geometric array of 1-7/16 in holes in 1/8–1/4 in steel sheet to create a wall sconce or pendant lamp face. Backlight with LED strips for a dotted halo effect. Use the clean, round slugs as decorative rivet-like accents welded back on in a contrasting pattern. The annular cutter’s clean edges minimize post-processing; deburr, patina, and clear-coat for a finished look.
Airflow-Optimized Fire Pit
Build a steel fire pit or rocket stove and add a ring of 1-7/16 in intake holes around the base for improved combustion and reduced smoke. The 2 in depth capacity lets you punch through thick base rings. Repurpose the slugs as adjustable air dampers or as feet/spacers on the pit’s base.
Steel Pixel Art Mural
Use the slugs produced by each cut as ‘pixels.’ Weld them to a backing plate in a grid to form images, gradients, or signage letters. Heat-color, blue, or paint the slugs for contrast. The precise, repeatable hole pattern from the annular cutter makes spacing and alignment easy.
Pass-Through Panel for Tubing
Create decorative or functional panels with 1-7/16 in pass-throughs for 1-1/4 in copper tube (1.375 in OD) in garden trellises, water features, or handrails. The slight clearance eases assembly and allows for grommets or bushings. Clean holes reduce snagging on wiring or tubing.
Gusseted Industrial Furniture
Fabricate table bases, shelves, or machine stands from plate and angle, adding 1-7/16 in lightening holes to gussets and brackets for an industrial aesthetic while trimming weight. Reuse the slugs as coasters, drawer pulls, or decorative ‘maker’s marks’ welded onto the frame.
