K3309-1 - Lincoln Electric Multi-Angle Magnetic Welding Square with On/Off Switch, 400 lbs Hold

Industrial-Grade Magnetic Positioning for Steel Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric K3309-1 Multi-Angle Magnetic Fixture is a premier work-holding solution designed to enhance safety and efficiency in professional metalworking environments. Engineered for versatility and strength, this tool provides a substantial magnetic holding force of 400 lbs (181 kg), making it capable of securing heavy steel plates and components during tacking, lifting, and layout operations. Unlike standard fixed magnets, the K3309-1 features a convenient on/off mechanism controlled by a simple half-turn knob. This functionality not only allows for precise placement before engaging the magnetic field but also solves the common industrial problem of clearing ferrous debris; once the magnet is disengaged, metal shavings and swarf simply fall away, ensuring a clean work surface for the next task.

This fixture is meticulously designed to support a wide array of fabrication requirements. It offers seven distinct work angles—45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120°, and 135°—providing fabricators with the flexibility to execute complex geometries without the need for multiple specialized clamps. The unit's geometry is optimized for both flat and round stock, allowing it to serve as a reliable third hand whether working on plate steel or pipe assemblies. As a purely mechanical device requiring no batteries or electricity, it offers fail-safe reliability in rugged shop conditions.

Safety is a paramount concern in industrial settings, and the K3309-1 addresses this by minimizing direct hand contact with potentially hot or sharp-edged steel. By utilizing this magnetic fixture for lifting and positioning, operators can maintain a safer distance from hazards. The tool acts as both a work-holding angle tool and a quick-connect magnetic vise, streamlining workflows in cutting, grinding, drilling, and sanding applications. Its compact form factor ensures it can be utilized in tight spaces where bulky clamps would be impractical, making it an essential addition to any professional welder's toolkit.
