Bessey MGC-1 Magnetic Square 3.5 X 2 Inch

Product Description

The BESSEY MGC-1 is a magnetic square designed to hold workpieces at precise right angles during fabrication, welding, and assembly operations. The magnet measures 3.5 inches by 2 inches, giving it a compact footprint that fits into tight work areas without obstructing access. Welders, ironworkers, metal fabricators, and pipe fitters use this tool to free up both hands during tack welding and fixture setup. The square holds ferrous workpieces in position while joints are tacked, reducing the need for extra clamps or a second technician to hold parts in place.

The MGC-1 is suited for light to medium fabrication work in both shop and field settings. It is commonly used when squaring structural steel, pipe supports, brackets, and box sections before permanent welding. The compact magnet size makes it practical for smaller framing and fitting tasks where a larger magnetic square would be difficult to position accurately.

Key Features

• Magnet face measures 3.5 inches by 2 inches for compact, precise placement
• Holds ferrous metal components at 90-degree angles during tack welding and assembly
• Frees both hands for welding or fastening operations
• Lightweight at 1.75 pounds for easy handling and repositioning on the job
• Suitable for shop fabrication and field installation environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with ferrous metal workpieces in welding, fabrication, and structural assembly applications where a right-angle magnetic hold is required.

Installation Notes

Place the MGC-1 against clean, flat ferrous metal surfaces for best holding strength — remove scale, heavy mill finish, or debris that could reduce magnetic contact. Keep the magnet clear of electronic measuring equipment and sensitive components that could be affected by magnetic fields. When finished, remove the square before final weld passes that might trap the tool against the workpiece.
