6 small magnet application examples in the workshop

Our customer often works in his workshop, so he created 6 small examples of magnet applications in the workshop, which we would like to share with you.

For me, these are always objects that I use frequently and therefore want to have within easy reach.

6 small examples of magnet applications in the workshop

1. Folding rule on miter stop

The folding rule is equipped with two ring magnet Ø 14.0 x 4.5 x 4.5 mm N35 nickel with countersunk, always within easy reach on the top of the miter stop. To mount the magnets in the aluminum profile, I added two M3 threads.

2. Earmuffs

The earmuffs always hang on the ceiling support directly above the machine currently in use. The block magnet 20.0 x 20.0 x 3.0 mm N45 nickel - Ø 3.5 mm hole was used. In addition to the M3 thread, the magnet is also glued to the hearing protection with Magnetic super adhesive in bottle with dispensing needle - 20 gr..

3. Hand Broom

The hand broom hangs with a ring magnet Ø 20.0 x 4.0 x 7.0 mm N35 nickel - holds 7.8 kg above the drilling table on the ceiling support.

4. Beveled Board

My beveled board has bevels on 8 edges, ranging from 0.5 mm to 4 mm, increments of 0.5 mm each. This allows me to select a suitable bevel on the fly and also adjust it directly on the table router (guide jig). The board hangs on a support beam directly above the table router. The ring magnet Ø 20.0 x 4.0 x 7.0 mm N35 nickel - holds 7.8 kg is flush with the board. This is easiest done with a guided drill (drill stand / bench drill) and a suitable Forstner bit.

5. Lathe protective board

The protective board protects the lathe bed from dirt when treating surfaces (staining, oiling, varnishing) directly on the lathe. I already use it when sanding and also place the sanding cloth and felt pads there. The rear stop on the board is also helpful for this, so nothing falls off. Thanks to the wooden strip mounted on the underside, which lies in the middle of the bench bed and the flush-mounted ring magnet Ø 20.0 x 6.4 x 5.0 mm N35H nickel with counter bore north, the whole thing can be put on and removed quickly and with one hand. When I'm not using it, it hangs on the ceiling support above the lathe.

6. Japanese saw

My most frequently used tool for small cross cuts is my Japanese Ryoba saw. This hangs on a ring magnet Ø 20.0 x 6.4 x 5.0 mm N35H nickel with countersunk head (north) with a screw hole on the side of the drill cabinet.
