    Magnetic Workholding Plates

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnetic Workholding Plates. Magnetic Workholding Plates.
    The entire surface of these plates is magnetic to provide a powerful hold for grinding, drilling, and electrical discharge machining (EDM). They’re useful when clamps would interfere with your process and when there aren’t any convenient spots for clamping material. Pull the handle to switch the magnets on and off. Use the mounting clamps to secure the plate to your machine table and the removable back and side rails to keep your workpiece in position. Plates are sealed against dirt and liquid so they can be submerged in oil baths. They are not recommended for processes where workpieces are submerged in water.
    Fine Magnetic Pole Spacing—Fine magnetic pole spacing provides the best hold on small or thin (1/4" or less) parts.
    Standard Magnetic Pole Spacing—Standard magnetic pole spacing is suitable for most applications. It will provide the best grip on large or thick parts.
    Fine and Standard Magnetic Pole Spacing—Plates with fine and standard magnetic pole spacing have more than twice the holding power of other plates. Use them with large and small parts.

    Magnetic Workholding Chucks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Magnetic Workholding Plates. Magnetic Workholding Chucks.
    To grind, drill, lightly mill, and machine parts that rotate around an axis, these chucks hold parts in place magnetically so you can access their inner and outer diameters. Use them when clamps will not fit or could damage the part’s finish. To switch the magnetic grip on and off, pull their handle. They have mounting holes for fitting in your machine, or your machine’s chuck can hold them.
    Fine Magnetic Pole Spacing—Chucks with fine magnetic pole spacing hold parts that are smaller or thinner than 1/4".
    Standard Magnetic Pole Spacing—Chucks with standard magnetic pole spacing grip large and thick parts. They’re good for most applications.

    Parallels for Magnetic Workholding

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Parallels. Parallels for Magnetic Workholding.
    Use with magnetic workholding chucks and plates to extend their holding power above the working surface. These parallels are laminated with 1/16"-thin layers of iron and stainless steel for a strong, consistent hold. Compared to parallels made from aluminum or brass, these are harder and more dent resistant, so they hold their shape over time. Each layer is entirely fused together with copper brazing, so you can machine these parallels without the layers separating. Note: Parallels are not magnetic on their own.
    Sold as Matched Pair—Manufactured and ground together to ensure they are parallel and square to each other with a tolerance of 0.0002".
    4 Precision-Ground Sides—Precision ground on the top edge, bottom edge, and both faces.
