New On/Off Magnetic Welding Squares Join Workholding Offerings

Castle Rock, Colo., Aug. 2, 2017 – The new family of On/Off magnetic welding squares from Master Magnetics (the Magnet Source®) gives welders the ability to decrease their prep time without sacrificing holding accuracy and reliability.  

Joining an existing line of welding magnets and grounds, these three new On/Off magnetic welding squares provide additional flexibility during pre and post welding by allowing the user to determine when to engage the magnet.

“Welding magnets are one of the most useful devices we offer,” said Jennifer Brown, chief operating officer at Master Magnetics. “We’re happy to provide another option that lets welders perform quality work, safely and accurately.”

Simple and Powerful

Easy to use, just place these extremely powerful neodymium on/off magnets on two mating steel surfaces to accurately position material for welding.  A simple push of the handle allows users to turn the handle to the ‘on’ position and secure for working.  A reverse turn disengages the magnet and allows for safe storage. 

On/Off magnetic welding squares provide users with:

  • Fast set-up
  • Accurate and powerful holding
  • Holding on flat or round stock
  • Pre-tapped holes on all sides for versatile mounting

Although not used for lifting, the pull of these magnets ranges between 150 and 1000 pounds on flat stock. Users can feel confident these welding magnets will securely hold material during welding.

On/Off for Fixturing

As a safe solution for positioning and fixturing, four additional on/off magnets provide smaller and practical method of workholding.

Like their larger welding magnet counter parts, they are constructed with rare earth neodymium magnets.  These workholding magnets provide superior holding power coupled with strong sheer strength to help prevent side-to-side movement.  Permanent magnets need no power ever.
