Thanks for sharing the details. I was wondering about using as a ground clamp for welding and no way want to use those smaller point designs. Seems more surface area in contact to provide less resistance.
@@897473 I have a feeling I'm going to try to custom make one with parts around the shops since I have a few hard drive and other magnets. Still not sure about the design. Thought magnets in the center of a short block or thick wall tube, with a stud to bolt on the ground lead, attached at the end of a threaded rod on a fixed nut on the top of the tube with a handle. Not certain what I'd have that will be a thread with very few TPI to make a larger range of motion in a fraction of a turn however. Looking forward to you uses for inspiration in for other utility.
The thing with copper is not that it is too thick, it's that the copper specifically stops the magnet field, which turns into current induced in the copper material.
@@897473 How magnets work is somewhat of an enigma. I would be curious if you could put my statement to test by comparing the results with a sheet of steel of the same size. I would expect the magnet to have no issue in holding the steel in place.
3:12 you coul fill the gap (flush to the edges) with resin so no stuff sticks between the plates, but instead only on the corner. It makes it easier to clean
@@mrkps1986 Actually I don't know how they work. Put them on a piece of steel and turn the handle. I'd suggest you take a look at the Mag Switch web site. They have numerous videos. magswitch.com/ An example: th-cam.com/video/ob5YnOYIIfI/w-d-xo.html Their videos can give you thetechnical answer to your question. George
If one parmanent magnet is kept near magswitch and magswitch is turned off, while doing so, will the parmanent magnet oppose the turning off of magswitch as direction of rays change
@@897473 I found the parent site, and, from them, a supplier in the UK, and have asked for a price from them. I'm in France, but the French often charge 2-3 times the price from the UK, and they are usually double the USA price, plus shipping! They will be good to hold things to my wood turning lathe bed, like spindle steady, etc. I've scanned your site and all the videos, and will look at them in more detail later. I made copper jewellery when I was 12-13, 'for me mum' which was over 60 years ago. So it might be amusing to try again.
@@niklar55 Here is a good photo of these magnets from a woodworking site. woodworker.com/magjig-60-mssu-148-653.asp?GF=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw19DlBRCSARIsAOnfRegLtCk0FiEnHQyVVxPnm3JkhBFDa6IWa1tt1RuRJq0zC2aYNKqq6XEaAndTEALw_wcB
Great video! Is it possible to pick up & drop a magnet of similar strength instead of metal? Also, can this switch mechanism be reversed to repel another magnet instead of attract? Thanks!
+ESCAGEDO WOODWORKING That's a broad question. Depends on what you want to do. Also, how much money you want to spend. If you are primarily welding steel to steel, then a Mig welder. If money is an issue, then you might consider a flux cored Mig welder. Some people really like these. Going up in price, you may want a Mig welder that uses shielding gas. I use argon 75. Another choice is Oxy/Ace: With OXy/Ace you can weld, braze, heat, bend and anneal copper. As you can see, there are several choices. Let me know what you want to do with welding and maybe we can narrow it down.
+ESCAGEDO WOODWORKING For the type of work that i do, if I only had one welding type in my shop, it would be oxygen acetylene. Final suggestion, watch a lot of videos and figure out what is going to work best for you.
I bought a couple from Amazon. Two small ones I bought from cyberweld.com, . Do a search for Magswitch. The handle is for off/on. When the handle is turned to off, the magnet disengages. For more information check with: magswitch.com.au/
Ok Heres what I see wrong You mention how much weight it picks up But not how much it takes to make the handle turn How much weight does it take to make the handle turn Thanks for letting me ask
I really don't know. I will say this, that the #400 magnet has a tremendous holding power over the #165. If cost isn't an issue I'd get the #600. Sorry I can't be more help. You might check with the company.
I don't know. Here is the companies,web address. You can ask them I'm sure they have been asked that question before. magswitch.com.au/product/magswitch-magsquare-400/.

Hello! What about the situation when you turn the switch but then don't let the switch to come up? Like keep holding the switch down. Does it still works as magnet then?
George Goehl I have my iPad volume in its max and other videos are usually loud enough. Well the music usually too loud. The ad coming before your video is very loud compared to your voice. You could perhaps use compressor to equalize the voice as it fluctuates much. Your voice is much softer than todays speakers usually and it is nice to listen but sometimes hard to follow.
George Goehl My hearing is also getting worse due to menier’s. I think I should start using headphones. Anyway it is a pleasure to listen you because great deal of the youtubevideos are really noisy and having terrible ”music”.

I've always been a fan of the magnets, the neodymium ones, but you've sold me on the on off magnet now, thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this. I have absolutely no use for it but I feel I must purchase one at least.
Hi George, thank you very much for your perspective and use of these magnets!
Thanks for commenting. I keep finding more and more uses for these magnets. Turns out, one of my best purchases.
@@897473 Great video, one question sir, does the magnet switch attracts another magnet when its off?
Thanks George a great tool . . . but tooo expensive ! There must be a way to make my own ! 😮 Jim
I too use magnet blocks on my shear and other times. very useful!
+belgrademachine You may be the person who first mentioned these. If so, thanks.
Very useful & relevant information.

Not sure how you intend to set it up as a ground. Have been taking photos of all the ways that I use the magnets, hope to have that video up soon.

@@Invictuss Not exactly sure what you are asking. For best specifications and information go to magswitch.com/.
Only if the magnetic field is changing. A static field produces no eddy currents.
When used with a dial indicator a switchable magnet is a great thing to have
3:12 you coul fill the gap (flush to the edges) with resin so no stuff sticks between the plates, but instead only on the corner. It makes it easier to clean
Thanks, interesting idea!
I have a couple (different brand) and find them very useful. O.K. fun too... Thanks George!
+Charles Struble Charles, where did you get yours?
+George Goehl Gosh, it was years ago, Probably a woodworking catalog. Mighta been Rockler. I used to buy from them pretty regularly.

Whr I can get this
how should these be stored? stuck to a piece of steel or simply turned off?
Good question. I have them turned off and placed on a shelf.
I want to hole my polyeurethene part of 3mm thick ..which is sancwithch beween 1mm thik aluminum and steel plate .. can it held that

Since magnets hold a charge are they like batteries? 🔋 and magnetic fields or electrified air with an inlet and outlet?

But not how much it takes to make the handle turn
How much weight does it take to make the handle turn

Do you think these would be able to hold flat bar stock whilst on an industrial belt grinder? (say something around 300 x 40 x 5mm)
