Product Information

Full details

The Amtech Welding Magnet (S4620) is an essential tool for fabricators, welders, and DIY hobbyists who require an extra set of hands when positioning ferrous metal pieces. By providing reliable, magnetic clamping, it ensures fast and accurate alignment for welding, soldering, and pipe installation; however, users should note that its magnetic strength is limited to 11kg, making it unsuitable for heavy structural steel projects.

FAQs

Does this magnet work on aluminum?

No, this magnet is only effective on ferrous metals like steel and iron.

Can I leave the magnet in place during a full weld?

It is recommended to use the magnet for initial alignment and tack welding only. High heat from prolonged welding can weaken the permanent magnets over time.

What is the maximum weight it can support?

The magnet is rated for a maximum holding capacity of 11kg (25lb).

Are the angles accurate?

Yes, the magnet is precision-machined to hold at 45, 90, and 135 degrees consistently.

Will this magnet damage sensitive electronics?

Yes, like all strong magnets, it should be kept away from pacemakers, credit cards, and sensitive electronic equipment.

How do I maintain the magnetic force?

Keep the faces clean of debris and avoid subjecting the magnet to excessive heat, which can demagnetize the internal material.

Troubleshooting

Magnet fails to hold the workpiece securely

Check the workpiece for thick coatings like paint or rust; grind the surface down to bare metal for a stronger magnetic connection.

Magnet is covered in metal shavings

Use a dry shop cloth or a piece of masking tape to lift away accumulated metal filings.

Magnet does not hold desired angle

Verify that the workpieces are flush against the edges of the magnet; if the workpiece is warped, the magnetic connection may be uneven.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a stable 'third hand' for solo metalwork projects.
  • Easily switches between standard welding angles.
  • Strong magnetic pull for its compact size.
  • Highly portable and easy to clean of metal shavings.
  • Cost-effective solution for precise alignment.

Cons

  • Not suitable for non-ferrous metals like aluminum.
  • Holding power is limited to 11kg maximum.
  • Magnetic surface can attract unwanted debris if not stored properly.
  • Extreme high-heat proximity may eventually degrade magnetic strength.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the magnet, simply place it against the metal joints you wish to align at the desired 45, 90, or 135-degree angle. Ensure both workpieces are ferrous (steel or iron) for the magnet to engage. After use, wipe the magnetic surfaces with a clean rag to remove metal dust and iron filings, which can build up over time and interfere with the seating of the magnet. Store the tool in a dry area away from electronic devices or magnetic sensitive storage media.
