The Tweco Switchable Magnetic Ground Clamp SMGC600 (9255-1062) is a premium grounding device designed for professional welders who require high amperage capacity and versatility. Unlike traditional spring-loaded clamps that require a specific edge or lip to attach, this magnetic clamp can be placed anywhere on a ferrous workpiece, making it indispensable for large plate fabrication, tank manufacturing, and pipe welding.
Rated for 600 Amps, the SMGC600 handles high-heat industrial applications with ease. The core feature of this unit is its switchable magnetic technology. A simple turn of the control knob activates a powerful magnetic field, securing the clamp firmly to the base metal. This ensures consistent electrical contact and reduces the risk of arc blow or voltage drops associated with poor grounding. The unit is engineered with a V-groove bottom, allowing it to seat perfectly on round pipes as well as flat steel surfaces.
Maintenance and longevity are key benefits of the switchable design. With traditional magnets, collecting metal fuzz and shavings is a constant annoyance that interferes with conductivity. With the SMGC600, simply turning the knob to the "Off" position collapses the magnetic field, causing all accumulated debris to fall away instantly. This feature ensures a clean contact surface every time, protecting your equipment and improving weld quality.
