K3318-1 - Lincoln Electric Mini Magnetic Welding Clamp K3318-1

Precision Holding for Small Fabrication Tasks

The Lincoln Electric Mini Multi-Angle Magnetic Fixture (K3318-1) is an indispensable tool for professional fabricators and maintenance technicians who require precision and efficiency when working with small steel components. In the world of metal fabrication, proper fit-up is the foundation of a high-quality weld. This compact magnetic fixture acts as a reliable "third hand," securely holding materials in place to allow for accurate tack welding without the need for cumbersome manual clamping. Its specific engineering for small parts ensures that it provides the necessary holding force without obstructing the weld joint or taking up excessive space on the workbench.

Versatility in Design

One of the standout features of the K3318-1 is its ability to secure material at multiple angles. This versatility allows the operator to set up various joint configurations quickly, reducing setup time and increasing overall productivity. Whether you are creating corner joints, T-joints, or other angular connections, this fixture provides the stability needed to ensure your geometry is correct before the arc is struck. The unit is robustly constructed to withstand the rigors of a workshop environment while maintaining its magnetic properties over time.

Optimized for Round and Flat Stock

Unlike standard flat magnets that struggle to grip curved surfaces, the Lincoln Mini Multi-Angle Magnetic Fixture features a specially designed pipe notch. This groove allows the magnet to seat firmly against round stock, pipes, and tubing, preventing the slipping and shifting that often occurs with flat-faced magnets. This makes it an excellent choice for handrail repairs, small pipe fabrication, and artistic metalwork where round components are prevalent.

Maintenance-Free Operation

Efficiency in the shop is also about tool reliability. The K3318-1 requires no batteries or electricity to operate. It utilizes permanent magnets to provide consistent holding power, meaning it is always ready to use the moment you pick it up. There are no switches to fail, no batteries to replace, and no cords to manage. This simplicity makes it a favorite for field repair kits and mobile welding units where simplicity and reliability are paramount.
