Mag-mate WS810 Magnetic Welding Square 160 Lb

Product Description

The MAG-MATE WS810 is a ceramic magnetic welding fabrication square designed to hold ferrous workpieces at precise 45-degree and 90-degree angles during welding, fabrication, and metalworking operations. The unit measures 8 inches wide by 8 inches high by 0.75 inches deep and generates an average pull force of 160 pounds through its ceramic magnet core. A T-handle release mechanism allows the technician to break the magnetic bond cleanly after the weld or tack is complete. At 4.75 pounds, the tool is substantial enough for stable fixturing without being cumbersome on the workbench or fixture table.

This welding square is suited for use in structural fabrication shops, metal manufacturing facilities, pipe fitting operations, and general welding benches where repeatable angle holding is required. Both hobbyist welders and professional fabricators use tools like the WS810 to maintain consistent joint geometry when positioning steel plate, tubing, and angle iron prior to welding. The flat ceramic magnet face conforms well to clean, flat ferrous surfaces and releases without leaving residue or damage.

Key Features

• 160 lb average pull force for secure workpiece holding during tack and full-pass welding
• Supports 45-degree and 90-degree holding angles for versatile joint positioning
• Ceramic magnet material provides strong, consistent field without demagnetization from heat cycles
• T-handle release mechanism for controlled, one-hand magnet disengagement
• Compact 8 x 8 x 0.75 inch profile fits tight fixture setups and crowded workbenches
• 4.75 lb solid construction resists shifting under weld spatter and workpiece load

Compatibility

Designed for use with flat ferrous workpieces including steel plate, angle iron, and structural tubing where precise angle fixturing is required prior to welding or fabrication assembly.

Installation Notes

Welders and fabricators apply the WS810 directly to clean, flat ferrous surfaces free of heavy scale, slag, or weld spatter that could reduce magnetic contact area. Ensure the workpiece surface is reasonably flat to achieve the rated pull force. Use the T-handle to release the magnet after the weld joint is complete and the part has cooled sufficiently to handle safely. Keep ceramic magnets away from impact hazards, as ceramic magnet material can fracture if dropped or struck.
