Value Collection TGL-618 Magnetic Block Chuck 18x6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TGL-618 is a standard pole rectangular permanent magnetic block chuck designed for use in EDM and surface grinding applications. Measuring 18 inches long by 6 inches wide by 2.874 inches high, this block chuck provides a stable, secure magnetic holding surface for ferrous workpieces during precision grinding operations. The permanent magnet design eliminates the need for an external power source to maintain holding force, reducing the risk of workpiece release during power interruptions. At 68 pounds, it is a heavy-duty unit suited for production and toolroom environments where consistent workpiece retention is essential.

This chuck is used in machine shop environments, primarily on surface grinders and EDM setups handling flat ferrous stock, tooling, and fixture components. The rectangular block form factor suits standard machine table mounting configurations. Shops running repeat surface grinding cycles benefit from the permanent magnet design, which holds parts securely without continuous electrical input. It is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom technicians working with precision grinding equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, ensure the machine table and chuck base are clean and free of debris to prevent seating errors. Secure the chuck to the machine table using appropriate T-bolts or clamping hardware rated for the chuck weight. Always deactivate the magnetic field before placing or removing workpieces, and verify workpiece retention before initiating any grinding or EDM cycle.
