Value Collection TGL-824 Magnetic Block Chuck 24x8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TGL-824 is a rectangular permanent magnetic block chuck designed for EDM and surface grinding applications. It uses a standard pole magnet configuration to hold ferrous workpieces securely on the chuck face without requiring an external power source to maintain holding force. The chuck measures 24 inches long by 8 inches wide by 2.874 inches high and weighs 125 pounds. The permanent magnet design eliminates the risk of workpiece release during a power interruption, which is critical in precision grinding environments. Licensed machinists and tool-room technicians are the primary users.

This chuck is suited for surface grinding and EDM setups in both job-shop and production environments. The rectangular block format accommodates large flat workpieces and fits standard surface grinder tables. Its standard pole pattern provides broad, even magnetic contact across the chuck face, making it appropriate for medium to large ferrous parts that require consistent holddown during light to moderate grinding passes.

Key Features

• Permanent magnet design maintains holding force without electrical power
• Standard pole configuration for broad, even magnetic contact across the work surface
• Large 24 inch x 8 inch face accommodates medium to large ferrous workpieces
• Rigid block chuck body at 2.874 inches high provides a stable, low-profile mounting footprint
• Rated for EDM and surface grinding applications
• Heavy-duty construction at 125 pounds for vibration damping during grinding operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in EDM and surface grinding applications on standard surface grinder tables that accept a rectangular block chuck format with a 24 inch x 8 inch footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The grinder table and spindle must be powered down and the machine brought to a complete stop before mounting or removing the chuck. The mounting surface and chuck base should be cleaned and deburred before seating to ensure full contact and accurate workpiece referencing. Secure the chuck to the table using the appropriate T-slot hardware per the machine manufacturer guidelines before engaging the magnetic force.
