Welding Magnets

Welding magnets provide hands-free support for positioning steel, iron, and other metal workpieces during welding, joining, tack welding, soldering, assembly, marking, pipe installation, and fabrication setup. Available in compact, fixed-angle, multi-angle, and switchable designs, they help align parts at common working angles while leaving both hands available for the task.

Choose Welding Magnets for Reliable Hands-Free Positioning

Compare welding magnets by the angles you need, the stated pull force or lift capacity, the workpiece profile, and whether controlled on/off magnetic placement will help your setup. The available holders include compact options for small areas, fixed-angle designs for common joints, and multi-purpose styles for a broader range of fabrication tasks.

Use Cases

Support alignment before joining

Use welding magnets to hold workpieces during joining, tack welding, welding, soldering, and assembly. Selected models also support marking, pipe installation, thin-metal separation, and workholding-jig setup.

How to Choose

Match angles, holding needs, and control

Start with the angles required for the job. Common choices support 45°, 90°, and 135°, while one compact multi-angle design also supports 75° and 105°. Then compare stated pull force or lift capacity and decide between non-switchable and on/off magnetic control.

Applications

Consider material shape and workspace

Choose features that suit the workpiece and setup: support for flat or pipe stock, a pipe notch for round workpieces, a 90-degree machined profile for right-angle setup, or a compact profile for smaller work areas.

Additional Info

Look for task-specific features

Available details include lifting or center holes for handling, five-sided magnetic grip for flexible contact surfaces, pre-tapped mounting holes for jigs, a local ground connection on one compact model, and powder-coated finishes on selected holders.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Positioning angles

Choose a holder that matches your fit-up geometry

Most represented welding magnet holders support 45°, 90°, and 135° positioning for common alignment tasks. A compact multi-angle option expands the available setups to 45°, 75°, 90°, 105°, and 135°. Switchable holders with a 90-degree machined profile focus on right-angle positioning and fixture setup.

  • 45°, 90°, and 135° are widely represented working angles.
  • A compact multi-angle style adds 75° and 105° positions.
  • A 90-degree machined profile supports right-angle work and fixture setup.
Magnetic control and holding

Decide whether on/off control fits the task

Non-switchable magnetic holders remain magnetically engaged on iron objects for hands-free positioning. On/off models allow users to engage or release the magnet with a knob or switch, supporting controlled placement, removal, and cleanup. Stated holding measures among the represented products include 25 lb, 50 lb, 75 lb, 80 lb, and 165 lb pull-force or lift-capacity references; one ground-connection model lists a 90 lb vertical breakaway on 1/4 in. steel.

  • Non-switchable designs provide continuous magnetic holding on iron objects.
  • On/off control can assist with placement, removal, and releasing collected steel chips.
  • Compare the stated force or capacity with the positioning need.
Workpiece and setup features

Select features for stock shape and fixture work

For varied material profiles, look for support for flat and pipe stock, a pipe notch, or multi-purpose use in pipe installation. Some holders include lifting holes or center holes for handling. For jig-based setups, switchable holders with pre-tapped mounting holes help support compatible workholding-jig arrangements.

  • Flat and pipe stock support can help with different fabrication profiles.
  • A pipe notch accommodates round workpieces during setup.
  • Pre-tapped holes support compatible jig mounting arrangements.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What angles do welding magnets support?

Many represented holders support 45°, 90°, and 135°. One compact multi-angle model also supports 75° and 105°.

What is the difference between switchable and non-switchable welding magnets?

Non-switchable models maintain magnetic holding on iron objects. On/off models can be engaged or released for controlled placement and removal.

Can welding magnets be used with pipe?

Selected products support flat and pipe stock, include a pipe notch, or are described for pipe installation tasks.

What holding strengths are represented?

The summaries list 25 lb, 50 lb, 75 lb, 80 lb, and 165 lb pull-force or lift-capacity references, plus a 90 lb vertical breakaway on 1/4 in. steel for one model.
