OVERVIEW

Stop Fighting Your Magnets: The MagSquare 600

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to position a powerful magnet that just wants to grab everything before you're ready. The Magswitch MagSquare 600 changes the game entirely. This isn't just a magnet; it's a switchable workholding beast that gives you complete control. With the turn of a knob, you have 600 lbs of holding power at your command. Need to slide it a quarter-inch to the left? Turn it off, move it easily, and turn it back on. No wrestling, no prying, and no ruined setups.

The MagSquare 600 is built for the real world of fabrication. It features a machined 90-degree angle for quick and accurate squaring of frames and corners. But it doesn't stop there. You get magnetic grip on five sides, meaning you can use it to hold pieces at various angles or secure tools to your workbench. Working with pipe? No problem. The built-in V-notch grabs onto round tubing just as securely as it holds flat plate. It’s like having an extra set of hands that never gets tired and never lets go until you say so.

One of the best features for daily use is how clean it stays. Old-school magnets end up looking like fuzzy hedgehogs, covered in sharp steel shavings that slice your fingers and mess up your fit-up. With the MagSquare, you just turn the knob to 'OFF', and the fuzz falls right off. You can wipe it clean with a gloved hand in a second. Plus, if you're into building your own jigs, the M6 threaded holes let you bolt this magnet to just about anything, turning it into a custom fixture for repetitive jobs. It's the smartest tool you'll add to your welding table.

Why Welders Love It:

  • Instant On/Off: Position it perfectly without the magnet fighting you.
  • Stays Clean: Shavings don't stick when it's off—save your gloves and fingers.
  • Strong Grip: 600 lbs of force holds heavy steel securely.
  • Multi-Use: Holds flat plate, round pipe, and mounts to custom jigs.

FAQ

The MagSquare 600 has a maximum breakaway force of 600 lbs (272 kg) when applied to flat steel of sufficient thickness (1/2 inch or greater).

No, the MagSquare 600 uses permanent rare-earth magnets with a mechanical on/off switch, so no batteries or power cords are needed.

While it is conductive, the MagSquare 600 is primarily designed for workholding. For grounding, Magswitch offers specific magnetic ground clamps designed to handle high welding current without damaging the internal components.

Simply turn the knob to the 'OFF' position. The magnetic field collapses, and the metal shavings will fall off automatically or can be easily wiped away.

The unit features M6 x 1.0 threaded holes on four sides, allowing you to mount the magnet to other tools, create custom jigs, or attach accessories.

Magswitch magnets are heat resistant up to approximately 180°F (80°C). You should avoid tacking or welding directly next to the magnet for prolonged periods to prevent heat damage to the internal components.

Yes, the MagSquare 600 features a V-notch on the bottom face specifically designed to grip round surfaces and pipes securely.

The magnet provides strong grip on 3 sides and magnetic grip on 5 sides total, but the primary holding force is concentrated on the bottom and two adjacent sides for squaring.
