Bosch GBM 50-2 Magnetic Core Drill, 1200W, 50mm Capacity

Bosch GBM 50-2 Magnetic Drill

The Bosch GBM 50-2 Drill provides high-torque performance and precision for heavy-duty metal fabrication. This 1200W corded tool handles large diameter holes in structural steel with its integrated magnet base. It features a laser targeting system for rapid alignment on workpieces.

Built for the Job

Steel fabricators and site engineers use this equipment for drilling through thick plate, H-beams, and structural sections. The magnetic base secures the unit to flat ferrous surfaces, allowing for vertical or overhead operation when properly tethered. It replaces traditional hand-held drilling for large diameters where accuracy and safety are paramount. The high motor output ensures consistent progress through tough alloys without stalling.

• Structural steel framing and bridge construction where site-drilling is required.

• Industrial maintenance involving the repair of heavy machinery and plant equipment.

• Metalworking workshops requiring precise annular cutting up to 50mm diameters.

Product Highlights

Laser Alignment Technology

The integrated laser crosshair allows the operator to center the bit on the workpiece mark quickly and accurately.

Smart Monitoring System

• Service display indicates when carbon brushes require replacement to prevent motor damage.
• Load indicator provides real-time feedback to prevent overloading the 1200W motor during deep cuts.
• Power cut-off system halts the motor if the magnetic base loses contact with the surface.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always clear the metal surface of rust, paint, and debris to ensure the magnet achieves maximum clamping force.

• Use high-quality cutting fluid through the integrated cooling system to extend the life of your annular cutters.

• Secure the unit with the provided safety chain when performing vertical or inverted drilling to prevent falls during power loss.

• Select the correct gear based on the diameter of the hole to maintain optimal torque and prevent bit binding.
