Questions & Answers
Yes and no: the holding power may be 150 pounds, but that rating is based on attempting to pull the magnet away from the attached surface at a 90-degree angle. Obviously, unless you're using it to pick up and drop metals (think electromagnet in a dump yard), this rating is useless. In most cases, the shear force is the force that can be used. I haven't measured the shear force on my mags yet, but it's unlikely to be more than 50 pounds. Note: Up to the saturation point, all magnet hold forces are proportional to the thickness of the metal. This indicates that the mag has a better grip on thicker metal. Because manufacturers use at least 3/8" thick metal when rating pull forces, and most users don't use 3/8" thick metal, the force ratings are rarely noticed by the average user.
I used a 40 mm foster bit, and it worked perfectly. if you use the number one 5" You might need to send some stuff to make the whole thing big enough.
It is dependent on the steel plate thickness. It should hold fine if it's 1/8 inch thick, perhaps even 1/16 inch thick. It all depends on how much force the magswitch units must withstand. If more magswitches are required, you can always add them.

It's perfect for using with my JessEm TS Clear Cut Guides, which I made myself. The guides can be removed from the fence with ease.
This set was purchased to be used on a table saw jig I built. I didn't want to drill holes in my new table saw, so I needed some strong magnets to keep my jig in place. I also wanted an "easy on/off" mounting method. This was a huge success. br>br>They're sturdy; my jig isn't moving. br>They're simple to operate; you turn the knob, they stick; turn it back, they release. br>The magnets are incredibly powerful. br>br>I screwed two metal pieces to the wall of my shop so that when I'm not using the jig, I can hang it up, turn the knobs, and it's safe. There is no need to drill mounting holes in the jig. br>br>When I make a few more jigs, I plan on purchasing a few more sets.
I bought a new bandsaw, but it didn't come with a fence. The fence, according to online sources, would cost $80, which is absurd. That would be true after a lot of research and a couple of failed attempts at building one - These magnets were discovered by me. No, I just slide my DIY wood fence into place, turn the magnets on, and I'm done. Two of them are truly remarkable. No, in my shop, I'm looking for other applications to help me get more. Half-turn on and half-turn off - It has incredible strength while remaining extremely user-friendly.
I used two of these to secure a JessEm hold down to the fence of my table saw. To make tool and jig setup easier in my shop, I've probably used at least 25 others. I've never had a problem with them, and I think they're fantastic!.
These are exactly what I've been looking for. They have a great grip. It's ideal for jigs in the woodworking industry. Also works well for welding.
With the help of a simple wooden jig, I was able to secure a pair of Clear Cut stock guides to my table saw fence. You could pull the fence off the saw with a twist of the wrist before the jig did.
These were used in a table saw jig and hold wood to the fence very tightly. I would strongly suggest it.
These are used for a variety of purposes. They do a fantastic job. When they're turned on, they don't move.
