The D1-SM swivel magnet drill has all the features that make the D1 the go to drill for fabricators with the added ability to easily drill holes on convex (min. diameter 12”) and concave surfaces (min diameter 40”). Four individual swivel magnets adjust to the surface, allowing the machine to work on uneven work areas. Each magnet is equipped with variable holding force features allowing easy machine positioning while the magnets are partially engaged. The magnets work without electricity making a great safety solution for your drilling need

Application Use Cases
The S14-M suits mechanical fabrication, transportation, and construction work where angled cuts matter as much as a clean edge. It handles pipe, plate, channel, conduit, angle iron, metal studs, rebar, and tubing, making it useful for structural steel fabrication, custom metal frames, and repeatable angle cuts on production runs. Its 1750W motor and portable 72 lb frame support both jobsite work and continuous shop use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the S14 and S14-M?
The S14-M offers a wider +/-46° mitering range compared to the S14's 45°, plus a heavier cast-aluminum base for added stability. Both share the same 1750W motor, 14" blade, and pipe capacity, with the S14-M priced for its extra versatility.
Is 230V available, or only 120V?
The S14-M comes in both 120V/60Hz (SM-S-14-M) and 230V/50Hz (SM-S-14-M-230) versions, so it runs on standard shop power or 230V circuits depending on your facility's setup.
What blade comes included, and can it be swapped?
A newly designed 14" laser-cut TCT blade for mild steel is included. The 1" arbor bore accepts other compatible 14" blades, so operators can swap in one suited to aluminum, stainless, or thinner materials.
What's the mitering range and how is it adjusted?
The S14-M miters up to +/-46°, letting operators dial in custom angles for fabrication layouts. The precision miter table locks at the set angle, delivering repeatable, accurate cuts across a production run.
Is it suitable for field/job site use or shop-only?
At 72 lbs, the S14-M is portable enough for jobsite use while still built for shop duty. Steelmax positions it for both field and shop environments, making it a flexible pick either way.
