MAGSWITCH

MAGSWITCH is a brand known for switchable magnetic tools that allow users to rapidly engage and disengage strong magnetic holding force on ferrous workpieces. The core technology uses a permanent magnet assembly that can be mechanically switched on or off, eliminating the need for continuous power or manual clamping in many applications. This design provides controllable hold and release, which is useful in welding, fabrication, and woodworking where setup speed and safety are important. MAGSWITCH products are commonly found in industrial settings such as shipbuilding, heavy fabrication, and metalworking shops, as well as in woodworking operations for guiding workpieces on table saws, jointers, and routers.

About MAGSWITCH

MAGSWITCH is a brand known for switchable magnetic tools that allow users to rapidly engage and disengage strong magnetic holding force on ferrous workpieces. The core technology uses a permanent magnet assembly that can be mechanically switched on or off, eliminating the need for continuous power or manual clamping in many applications. This design provides controllable hold and release, which is useful in welding, fabrication, and woodworking where setup speed and safety are important. MAGSWITCH products are commonly found in industrial settings such as shipbuilding, heavy fabrication, and metalworking shops, as well as in woodworking operations for guiding workpieces on table saws, jointers, and routers.

3G Electric supplies a range of MAGSWITCH products, including switchable magnetic ground clamps, multi-angle welding magnets, and featherboards/push blocks for woodworking. The switchable magnetic ground clamps are rated for continuous duty up to 800 A and accept 2/0 AWG cable, providing a secure grounding connection without the need for separate clamps or fixtures. Multi-angle welding magnets hold workpieces at preset angles (e.g., 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 135°) with pull forces up to 1,000 lb, enabling hands-free tacking and assembly. The woodworking line includes universal featherboards, push blocks, and push sticks that use magnetic clamping to secure workpieces against fences, improving control and reducing kickback risk. These products are designed for compatibility with common table saws and cast-iron fences.

As a distributor, 3G Electric offers multiple SKUs from MAGSWITCH, along with datasheets and logistics support for global delivery. The product range covers applications in welding, fabrication, assembly, and woodworking, with specifications that include current ratings, pull forces, and angle presets. 3G Electric can provide quotes and technical information to help procurement and engineering teams select the appropriate MAGSWITCH tool for their specific requirements.

Common Applications

  • Shipbuilding and heavy fabrication — Switchable magnetic ground clamps (e.g., SKU 406T06) for secure, hands-free grounding up to 800 A.
  • Welding and assembly — Switchable multi-angle welding magnets (e.g., SKU 406T12) for holding workpieces at preset angles up to 135° with 1,000 lb pull.
  • Table saw operations — Universal featherboards (e.g., SKU 876HV8) for guiding workpieces against the fence and reducing kickback risk.
  • Woodworking on jointers and routers — Push blocks and push sticks (e.g., SKU 876HV5) for safe workpiece control during cutting.
  • Metal fabrication — Multi-angle welding magnets (e.g., SKU 406T08) for hands-free tacking at 45°, 60°, 90°, and 120°.
  • Cast-iron fence table saws — Universal featherboard (e.g., SKU 876HW2) designed for compatibility with cast-iron fences.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about MAGSWITCH from 3G Electric.

What is the maximum pull force of MAGSWITCH switchable multi-angle welding magnets?

MAGSWITCH switchable multi-angle welding magnets are available with different pull force ratings. For example, the model with MPN 8100450 provides up to 1,000 lb maximum pull, while the model with MPN 8100352 offers up to 90 lb. These magnets hold ferrous workpieces at preset angles such as 45°, 60°, 90°, and 120° (and up to 135° on some models) for hands-free tacking and assembly. The switchable design allows quick engagement and release without tools.

What are the electrical specifications of MAGSWITCH switchable magnetic ground clamps?

MAGSWITCH switchable magnetic ground clamps, such as SKU 406T06 (MPN 8100552), are rated for 800 A continuous duty and accept 2/0 AWG cable. They provide up to 300 lb pull force on steel, ensuring a secure, hands-free grounding connection for welding and fabrication. The switchable magnet allows easy attachment and removal from ferrous surfaces.

How do MAGSWITCH featherboards improve table saw safety?

MAGSWITCH featherboards, including universal and stacked models, use magnetic clamping to secure workpieces against the fence on table saws, jointers, and routers. They function as push blocks, push sticks, or featherboards, helping to guide workpieces through cuts, reduce kickback risk, and improve accuracy. The magnetic system enables quick, tool-free positioning and release, and some models are designed for compatibility with cast-iron fences.

What is the difference between MAGSWITCH welding magnets and ground clamps?

MAGSWITCH welding magnets are designed to hold ferrous workpieces at specific angles for positioning during welding, fabrication, and assembly. They provide pull forces ranging from 90 lb to 1,000 lb and offer preset angles. MAGSWITCH ground clamps, on the other hand, are used to establish a secure electrical grounding connection for welding, with current ratings up to 800 A and cable acceptance up to 2/0 AWG. Both use switchable magnetic technology for quick setup and release.

Are MAGSWITCH products suitable for shipbuilding applications?

Yes, MAGSWITCH switchable magnetic ground clamps are commonly used in shipbuilding and heavy fabrication for hands-free grounding. Their high current rating (800 A continuous) and strong pull force (up to 300 lb) make them suitable for securing grounding connections on steel structures. The switchable design allows for rapid repositioning as work progresses.

What types of MAGSWITCH woodworking accessories does 3G Electric supply?

3G Electric supplies a range of MAGSWITCH woodworking accessories, including universal featherboards, stacked featherboards, push blocks, push sticks, and saw indicators. These products are designed for table saws, jointers, and routers, and feature magnetic clamping for secure workpiece control. Specific models include the Universal Featherboard (MPN 81101303), SaVR Featherboard (MPN 81101513), and Stacked SavR Featherboard (MPN 88001695).
