The Magswitch MagSquare 400 (8100238) represents the pinnacle of magnetic workholding technology for professional fabricators and welders. Designed to eliminate the frustrations associated with traditional permanent magnets, this tool features Magswitch's patented On/Off technology. This capability allows users to position the square precisely where it is needed without the magnet 'grabbing' prematurely. Once in position, a simple turn of the knob engages a powerful magnetic field with a breakaway force of up to 400 lbs (181 kg) on adequate steel thickness, ensuring your workpiece remains immovable during welding or assembly operations.
One of the most significant advantages of the MagSquare 400 is its ability to stay clean. Traditional magnetic squares constantly attract metal filings, swarf, and grinding dust, which can be difficult to remove and may scratch finished surfaces. With the MagSquare, turning the magnet off demagnetizes the block completely, causing all debris to fall away instantly. This feature not only saves time during cleanup but also protects your materials and ensures a flush fit every time.
Versatility is at the core of the MagSquare 400's design. It is machined at a perfect 90-degree angle, making it an excellent reference for squaring up stock. The unit provides magnetic grip on five sides, with strong holding power on three, allowing for multi-plane workholding. Additionally, the integrated pipe notch enables the tool to securely grip round pipes and cylinders, making it indispensable for pipe welders. For those looking to create custom jigs and fixtures, the MagSquare 400 includes pre-tapped M5x0.8 holes on all sides, allowing it to be bolted directly into your custom fabrication setups.
Whether you are lifting small steel parts, positioning heavy plates, or building complex welding fixtures, the MagSquare 400 offers the strength and control required for high-precision industrial applications. Its compact footprint (64mm x 41.26mm) and manageable weight (2 lbs) make it a portable yet powerful addition to any welder's toolkit.
