Miter clamp or magnet square: to secure joints. Chipping hammer and wire brush : for cleaning up slag and spatter. Welding pliers : to trim welding wire and remove spatter from the welding-gun nozzle.

Magnetic welding clamps just move the magnet away when you turn the switch. I can’t see anyone really enforcing that patent. But then again ...

Magnets are awesome. ... For a solution that uses no power at all take a look at switchable magnet clamps used for welding — they’re pretty cool — but patent protected of course.

The MillTec Grip magnetic clamping system has been used exclusively on this machine so far, although it could be swapped over to other machining centres on the shop floor including the 5-axis model.
