Properly removing lead paint and other contaminated coatings (such as asbestos) from steel structures can be a logistical nightmare. Contaminated particulate matter must be contained to protect the surrounding community, workers must be protected to meet OSHA standards, and hazardous waste must be properly disposed of. It can be an expensive, time-consuming endeavor.

The best way to drill stainless steel or non-ferrous metals with a magnetic drills is with a Vaccum Plate System (ZAV) From CS Unitec.
The magnetic base of a mag drill does not adhere to non-ferrous metals like Aluminum, Aluminum Alloys, Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass, Lead, Zinc, etc. For such non-ferrous material, we have an innovative solution for drilling with a magnetic drill.

Employees who inhale tiny crystalline silica particles are at risk of developing serious diseases, some of which may be deadly. By following new OSHA standards and using the right silica dust control systems, employers can keep their workers safe from the hazards of crystalline silica.

Portable drilling in applications such as construction, steel fabrication and more poses many challenges - the method of hole creation is just one of them. Understanding the difference between twist drilling and annular cutting, and the equipment, power and time required, will have you efficiently and expertly cutting holes in steel, stainless steel and other metals.

Working in explosive atmospheres carries many challenges, the most important of which is the safety of the workers. ATEX (ATmospheres EXplosibles) is a directive outlining a number of technical and quality objectives that must be complied with to the satisfaction of a third party certification association. Once the objectives have been met, the approved power tool is marked with the appropriate ATEX classification label and Ex Symbol.
