Description
Rockwell BUX 77753 Portable Magnetic Drill – Electromagnetic Base – 115V – 1-1/8" Capacity
Description
Up for auction is a Rockwell BUX Model 77753 portable electromagnetic-base drill, a heavy-duty magnetic drill designed for drilling and tapping steel in locations where a conventional drill press is impractical.
The BUX system uses a powerful electromagnetic base to secure the drill directly to a steel workpiece, allowing the operator to drill large, accurate holes in structural steel, plate, machinery, fabrication components and other heavy metal without having to move the workpiece to a stationary drill press.
This is a particularly useful piece of equipment for welding and fabrication shops, structural steel contractors, machinery repair operations, maintenance departments, agricultural repair shops, heavy equipment repair and industrial field service.
The Rockwell BUX system was specifically designed for applications where portability and drilling capacity are important. Period Rockwell literature describes the BUX as capable of drilling large holes in steel while working in difficult positions, including vertical and overhead applications, using its electromagnetic base.

Portable Magnetic Drill
Unlike a conventional floor or bench drill press, the Rockwell BUX is designed to travel to the workpiece.
The electromagnetic base allows the operator to secure the drill to a suitable ferrous-steel surface and drill without having to remove or reposition large or heavy components.
This makes the machine particularly useful for:
Structural steel
I-beams
Heavy plate
Equipment frames
Machinery
Truck frames
Trailer frames
Agricultural equipment
Construction equipment
Industrial fabrication
Field repair
The period Rockwell literature specifically promoted the BUX for drilling large holes in steel in difficult positions, including applications where the drill could be positioned vertically or overhead.
Typical Applications
Excellent potential applications include:
Welding and fabrication shops
Structural steel fabrication
Heavy equipment repair
Agricultural equipment repair
Farm machinery repair
Truck and trailer repair
Construction
Bridge/structural work
Industrial maintenance
Field-service welding
Machinery installation
Equipment modification
Steel erection
Manufacturing
Maintenance departments
Contractor service trucks
For a fabrication or repair shop, a magnetic drill such as this can eliminate the need to move a large steel component to a stationary drill press.
Features
