Most weld defects don't come from bad welders. They come from fatigue, inconsistency, and the pressure of running the same pass all day. The Promotech LIZARD removes those variables entirely. It's a portable, programmable, trackless welding carriage that locks onto your steel with 4-wheel magnetic drive and holds perfect travel speed — every pass, every time. No drift. No over-welding. No rework.

Here's what makes it genuinely different from a standard welding tractor:

🔧 Stores up to 40 complete welding programs — dial in your procedure
once, recall it for every job of that type going forward
🔧 Continuous and stitch welding modes with programmable parameters
(weld length, skip, crater fill, backweld, total length)
🔧 Closed-loop speed control = uniform heat input = consistent bead geometry
🔧 Dual torch option — weld two joints at the same time
🔧 Optional oscillator for weave welds and vertical applications
🔧 Out-of-position capable: flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead
🔧 Works on curved surfaces (min. radius 1500mm)
🔧 14kg. Compact. Built for site and workshop use
🔧 3-year Promotech warranty

If your operation runs long repetitive weld runs, multi-pass joints, or has quality certification requirements — this machine pays for itself in reduced filler metal usage and rework costs alone.

Our technical team will talk through your application, your current process, and whether automation makes sense for your shop. No pitch. Just straight advice.

50 years ago, welders carried a heavy drill press to site. Then spent 20 minutes clamping and aligning it. PROMOTECH International changed that. For example the PRO-36 weighs under 10kg. It locks to structural steel with electromagnetic force. It bores clean annular holes without heat distortion, without damaging the workpiece, and without needing a second pair of hands. For fabricators and contractors working on structural steel — that's not a convenience. That's billable hours saved on every job. KWS now stocks the a range of Promotech magnetic drills — from the compact PRO-36 to the cordless 18V PRO-36 Battery.

Week 8 of . Eight brands. Eight standards of excellence.

Quick education on annular cutters — if you are still using standard twist drills to make large holes in steel, this matters to you.
What is an annular cutter?
An annular (or rotary broach) cutter is a hollow cutting tool. Instead of machining the full cross-section of a hole, it only cuts the outer ring — and leaves a solid slug.
That means:
✅ Less material to cut → faster than twist drills for holes over 12mm
✅ Less heat generation → longer tool life
✅ Clean, accurate holes → no pilot drill, no step drilling
✅ Less burr → less finishing work BDS annular cutters (R/Broach cutters at KWS) use the standard 19mm Weldon shank — compatible with all BDS MAB magnetic drills.

Available in standard depth and long-reach versions for deeper holes. We also stock BDS HSS twist drills (19mm Weldon shank) and BDS machine screw taps (Weldon shank) for threading operations on the same magnetic drill setup. All accessories in stock at KWS. Next-day delivery.

If you are drilling deep, large-diameter holes on-site, the BDS MAB 1300 110v is built for it. Here is the MAB 1300 110v earns its place:

Extreme drilling capacity — handles large diameters and deep cuts in structural steel
Powerful motor performance — built for continuous, heavy-duty site work
Integrated coolant system — improves cutter life and cut quality under load
High magnetic holding force — secure positioning on beams and plate
Designed for depth — ideal for thick materials and demanding applications
110v site-ready — no transformer needed on most Irish sites

This is a machine for when standard mag drills aren’t enough — heavy plate, deep sections, and high-load drilling.

Used across:
Structural steel fabrication
Bridge and infrastructure work
Heavy plant and engineering
