The Medium Pipe Drill (Drilling & Tapping) from HTC is a versatile and powerful magnetic drilling machine designed specifically for pipework. It combines reliable drilling with thread tapping functionality, making it ideal for structural, mechanical, and industrial applications on New Zealand job sites.
This machine attaches securely to curved or flat steel surfaces (such as pipe) via its magnetic base, enabling stable and accurate bore and thread operations. It handles a broad range of pipe diameters and is well-suited for tasks like installing fittings, flanges, or threaded connections without needing fixed drill presses.

- Magnetic base ensures strong, stable grip on steel pipe (curved or flat)
- Dual-mode operation: precise drilling and thread tapping
- Suitable for use in confined or overhead positions thanks to magnet mounting
- High-power motor for efficient cutting through thick pipe
- Variable speed control and reversible motor for tapping operations
- Portable and rugged — built to withstand on-site use
- Ideal for industrial fabrication, mechanical servicing, and structural pipe installation
Typical Applications:
Pipe fabrication, mechanical plant maintenance, structural steel work, installation of threaded connections on pipe, flange preparation, and on-site tapping of steel conduit or pipe segments.
Available for hire from HTC, giving New Zealand contractors and fabricators access to a specialist drilling & tapping tool without needing to purchase.
