Swarf Magnet for the milling table slots and other small areas.

[jjr2001]

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
