OVERVIEW

Professional Fabrication Positioning with Techniweld NT-628

In the high-demand environment of professional welding and industrial fabrication, efficiency and precision are paramount. The Techniweld NT-628 1" Wide Combination Magnetic Square is engineered to meet these needs, providing a reliable solution for positioning ferrous materials during layout and tack welding. This tool is a staple for pipefitters, structural welders, and fabricators who require quick, accurate alignment of workpieces without the hassle of manual clamping fixtures.

The defining feature of the NT-628 is its multi-angle capability combined with a substantial 1-inch width. While standard magnets may offer holding power, the extra width of this model provides superior stability, particularly when working with round stock or pipe. It effectively bridges the gap between pieces, ensuring they remain coplanar during the tacking process. The magnet is machined to provide accurate 45°, 90°, and 135° angles, covering the most common fit-up requirements found in structural frames, pipe spools, and sheet metal assemblies.

Time is money on the shop floor, and the NT-628 drastically reduces fit-up time. Its strong magnetic field grips instantly to carbon steel, allowing a single operator to set up complex joints independently. This "third hand" functionality is critical for safety and productivity, freeing up the welder to manipulate the torch and filler metal. The magnet is powerful enough to hold significant weight, yet compact enough to fit into tight spaces where traditional C-clamps or locking pliers cannot reach. It is particularly effective for holding gussets, stiffeners, and brackets in place prior to final welding.

Furthermore, the NT-628 is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial use. It is resistant to the spatter and heat associated with welding processes. While primarily used for tacking, its robust construction ensures a long service life even in daily production environments. Whether you are performing TIG root passes on pipe or MIG welding structural beams, this magnetic square ensures your fit-up remains true, minimizing distortion and ensuring high-quality weld outcomes.

FAQ

The NT-628 is designed to support 45°, 90°, and 135° angles, making it versatile for most common fabrication layouts.

This magnetic square is 1 inch wide, which provides extra stability when holding round tubing or pipe compared to thinner magnets.

No, this is a magnetic tool and will only adhere to ferrous metals like carbon steel. It will not stick to aluminum or stainless steel (unless the stainless is ferritic).

No, the NT-628 is a fixed magnet. It is always 'on'. For switchable magnets, you would need to look at different models specifically designated as switchable.

Since it is a fixed magnet, shavings will stick. The best method is to wipe them off with a gloved hand or use compressed air. Some users also wrap the magnet in a thin layer of tape or plastic for easy cleaning.

The magnet is heat resistant to a degree suitable for tack welding. However, prolonged exposure to high heat (like welding directly next to it for long periods) can demagnetize it over time. It is best used for tacking and then removed.

It is primarily used as a jig or fixture holder to keep metal pieces aligned at specific angles while you tack weld or assemble them.
