On / Off Magnets

[@anastasiakutakokov1772]

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!

[@Benjiblue559]

Hi George, thank you very much for your perspective and use of these magnets!

[@897473]

Thanks for commenting. I keep finding more and more uses for these magnets. Turns out, one of my best purchases.

Thanks for sharing this. I have absolutely no use for it but I feel I must purchase one at least.

[@Invictuss]

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]

Interesting! Thanks

[@Invictuss]

@@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.

[@897473]

@@Invictuss Not exactly sure what you are asking. For best specifications and information go to magswitch.com/.

[@rogeronslow1498]

Only if the magnetic field is changing. A static field produces no eddy currents.

[@jafinch78]

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]

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.

[@jafinch78]

@@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.

[@hyperhektor7733]

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

[@897473]

Thanks, interesting idea!

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

very nice! I want to buy a welder. What type would you recommend for a home shop? A choice one for someone new to it?

[@897473]

+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.

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

Thank you!! I want to add metal work to my furniture builds. I need to start off easy on the wallet though. Thank you in advance!

[@897473]

+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.

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

Thank you Goehl!!

[@897473]

Yes, very useful. I'm surprised how often I use them.

@@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.

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.

try turning up your volume. I test each video for a default volume.

[@mattikaki]

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.
