Magswitch MagSquare 165 Magnetic Welding Square

The Magswitch MagSquare 165 is a switchable magnetic square designed for welding and fabrication tasks. It uses adjustable magnetic force to hold ferrous workpieces at precise angles without clamps. The tool features tapped holes for fixture mounting and a durable steel construction finished in yellow. It operates effectively up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit.

Welders needing quick, adjustable holding

This square suits welders and fabricators who require fast setup and strong, variable holding force for steel parts. The on-off switch allows instant release and repositioning without grinding or prying. It is not intended for non-ferrous metals such as aluminium or copper where magnetic attraction is absent. Users needing a fixed-angle square without magnetic adjustment should consider alternatives.

165 lb maximum pull force

The decisive specification is the 165 lb maximum pull rating, which defines the holding capacity for ferrous materials. This force level determines the size and weight of workpieces the square can securely position during welding. The switchable technology lets the operator engage or disengage this full force instantly. Verify that the workpiece mass and geometry fall within this limit for safe operation.

Questions about this item

How long before the 165 lb pull force drops at 176 °F?

The square is rated to 176 °F; above that temperature the magnetic field weakens and pull force falls below the 165 lb figure.

Does the switchable magnet generate heat or noise during continuous operation?

No, the MagSquare 165 uses a mechanical on/off switch with no motor or coil, so it runs silently and produces no measurable heat.

What tapped-hole pattern must my fixture plate have to mount this square?

The square includes standard tapped holes for fixture stability; match your plate to those threads for a secure mount.
