Magswitch MagJig 95 (Set of 2)

These magnets are simply amazing. The switch turns them off and on and they work perfectly. I use them for various jigs and fixtures in my shop. They are CRAZY expensive for what you get but if you need one there really aren't any practical alternatives. I have discovered that if you drill a slotted opening to fit the Magswitch then you don't need to screw them in place to make them functional. This allows me to just pull them out when I want to repurpose them with another fixture or jig and drop them in place. This simple technique will save you a boatload of cash! :-) One thing to note is that if you want them to resist lateral loads the capacity is only about 20% of the hold down capacity.

I wish I had gotten the MagJig 150s, which are more powerful. I am a woodworker. These 95s work OK if you glue some non-slip material to their bases, like thin cork or rubber sheet. They are very hard to pull upward but jigs and fixtures made with them will slide sideways on cast-iron machine tables- obviously not a good scenario but is somewhat correctable as described above. MagJigs are very versatile and easy to use. I haven't attached them to jigs with screws, but instead have made several types of interchangeable jigs that use these as removable magnets. The on/off is achieved by rotating the knob. If you drill a single round hole into a fixture, the MagJig will rotate in the hole and you have to either hold it with two hands or screw it onto the jig to turn it on/off. But if you drill two slightly offset round holes, the jig won't rotate when you twist it- then you can remove these magnets on & off of various jigs. You can find the scenario for how to do this on youtube.

I made a fence for my drill press. These magnets (used two) are more than strong enough.

Ich habe diesen „MAGJIG 95“ zur Nutzung an meiner Bandsäge gekauft. Diese hat einen Arbeitstisch aus Gußeisen, wie es bei sehr guten Sägen der Fall sein sollte. Daher kann ich an jeder beliebigen Stell der Arbeitsplatte Führungsschienen, Stopper oder Vorrichtungen befestigen. Einfach in eine 19 mm Leiste eine Bohrung von 30 mm einbringen und den Schaltmagneten einsetzen. Das Ein- und Ausschalten des Magneten erfolgt durch eine leichte Drehung des kleinen Knebels. Im Stellung OFF ist keine Magnetwirkung zu spüren. Das Gerät ist sehr robust gebaut und hält „bombenfest“. Ich bin sehr begeistert und kann diesen schaltbaren Magneten jedem empfehlen der auf Gußeisen oder Stahl etwas Befestigen und leicht wieder entfernen will.
