Swarf Magnet for the milling table slots and other small areas.
This swarf magnet is made of telescoping brass tubing. The business end of the large
outer brass tube is sealed by soldering a copper plug in place.
The magnets were left over from my model airplane stuff and were used
to retain canopies and hatches. Quite strong. I put 5 of them in the inner tube.
A short piece of UHMW was turned to insert in the end for a handle.
The grommet is to "trap" the swarf as the magnet is pulled up into the main tube.
Then it is a simple matter to shake or brush off the chips into the chip can.
Picks up the steel filings from the T-slots in the mill table and other tight areas.
Don't know why I waited so long to make these. They are quite helpful in the shop.
Cheers, JR
