Easier to find the small drill bits that get sucked up in the shop vac.

    Most of my swarf is aluminium so magnets are of little use to me. Although If I drop a drill bit or similar and can't find it I wave a stick with a magnet on the end under the lathe cabinet and I am always surprised at how much non-magnetic swarf gets caught up in the steel bits.
