Bux Mage Drill Parts

Blazemaster said:

I went and picked up an old milwaukee mag drill today and while looking at it the previous owner pulled out this little Bux mag drill and said if I bought the milwaukee he would toss this in. It looks to be in good shape, but is missing the mag part on the bottom. I wasn't sure if this would be something fixable or not. The drill part seems to work fine, and when I flip the mag switch the light comes on. I am guessing it won't be simple to find the original part, could another mag be fitted to this to make it work? Anyone done something similar?

Here are some pics of the Bux, and another pic I found online of the same mag base with the actual mag on it. Also threw up a pic of the milwaukee because who in the hell would paint their tools hot pink? The guy said it was painted like that so nobody would steal it and try to sell it. I guess hes never seen spray paint.

Sorry for the title typo, should be "mag drill"

Bolt it to a larg(ish) plate, and many jobs you will be able to clamp the plate down.

Make a plate with plasma cut slots, and you might be able to come up with some bolts & washer plates
to make it "quick configure".

A huge plus if you do much aluminum/stainless work.

I had a "friend" wanting a mag drill in the worst way....to do one job, one time.
Drill some holes in a truck frame (on the top flange) where a mag drill wouldn't even hold (flange was very narrow, and had bends in it).
