Great idea for a DIY'er. I also very much appreciate the honest comment at the end of how this design saves money, but takes time. Suggestion - large headed bolts, heads down, screwed into place instead of metal rods. Inexpensive and if short ones are bought - no cutting.

Andrew, congratulations clever design. this "platter" design is similar to a design from GM, patented in 2005. By the way Ok for people to still build but, u need permission for commercial products. Magswitch has different platter design, we use different sizes. 10mm. 15mm, 20mm and 30mm. The sizes effect field depth and smaller is stronger, relatively, than the larger on thin material

@root16575 жыл бұрын
@@Laugh1ngboy Nothing is stolen. Also, the steel posts are aligned in both positions, however, the magnets are arranged so that in one position they line up so that the top and bottom work together to make a much stronger field, and in the other position, they are aligned so that the magnets of the 2 layers basically cancel each other. This is why the magnets have to be alternated. If they weren't alternated, then this wouldn't work, because there would be no difference in what is lined up in the different positions.

Andrew, I am really pleased to have found your channel (via James @ Stumpy Nubs). I'm a retired engineer/toolmaker who has discovered the joy of working with wood in my retirement, but I still love using the metal lathe and milling machine as much as the wood shop machines, and I am seeing some great project ideas already. I will absolutely be making a switchable magnet, but probably not copying your design exactly. BTW I have a pretty cool vice project getting close to being finished, but nowhere near as elaborate as your twin screw vice. That is a thing of beauty!
@andrewtirado1778 Жыл бұрын
I’m an artist, and often work on very large canvases/panels. Up until now, rather than use an easel, I have used a cleat system where I have what looks a bit like a ladder mounted near the wall with “rungs” comprised of wood cleats with the top edge beveled back 45 degrees, and a corresponding piece of wood screwed to the back side of the panel with the other half of the cleat, bottom edge beveled back 45 degrees. Then, I can simply slip the panel onto a “rung” at the desired height rather than have to climb up on a stool to work on parts of the paintings. But it’s a pain, with larger panels, to have to ask someone to assist me in raising and lowering the piece onto different rungs. So I’m making a new system without cleats where a winch will do the raising and lowering of a sled that will somehow connect to the back side of the panel. Only, I’ve been stuck trying to figure out how to securely connect the panels to the sled. What I want is to be able to slip the panel onto the sled while the panel is resting on the floor. Compounding things is that I’d really like the option of rotating the paintings to work on them inverted at times (when working abstractly). All that to say that while your video has given me a good solution that should allow me to not only secure a panel to a sled but also rotate it. I think I’ll want something like what you’ve made, only more like 2’ in diameter, with more magnets, and the ability to do a full 360 rotation, not just a back and forth, on/off.

I just downloaded the wooden mag switch plans. They do not include any dimensions, in particular: 1) the thickness of the plywood 2) the lengths of the steel rods 3) diametric location of the small rods 4) diametric location of the arcs Scaling from a print is poor practice. The video says to make the Base and Mount from 1/4 or 3/8 plywood. The large design uses 1/2inch dia magnets, so 3/8 plywood will not work for the Base which has radial holes. Noting that 12 magnets are used would be helpful. Your source for magnets has increased the cost to $21.50 for 12 large magnets. They are out of the N42 design. But for modestly more, the N45 are available. Any idea if the N42 and N45 ratings are accurate from this place? The quoted pull strengths are 1.5x to 2x too high. McMaster reports lower pull strengths for the better N52 magnets. McMaster is an authoritative source. And a Magswitch 150 now costs a bit more than twice the magnets from your source. Of course, the Magswitch is metallic and smaller.

If the the top and bottom of a post are the same polarity (switched on), to get to the other pole flux will go through whatever the magnet is placed on to get to the next post. If the discs are rotated so the magnets on top and bottom are different, a magnetic circuit is formed between the center post and the outer one and there would be almost no field strength on the outside. On. Off. (N-S). (N-S) (N-S). (S-N)
