Workholding - Magnetic Chucks

A magnetic chuck is a piece of equipment used in metalworking which uses magnetism to hold ferrous metal objects securely during machining processes like milling, grinding, or cutting. It uses a magnetic field to attract and hold the metal workpiece in place, providing stability and making it easier to work on the material. This tool is commonly used in workshops and manufacturing to ensure accurate and efficient metal processing, where vices are inconvenient or likely to damage the materials. 

Magnetic chucks contain a permanent magnet. When this magnet is activated, it holds the workpiece in place securely and without damage. 

The chuck can be activated by turning the key from the 'off' position to the 'on' position. When it is activated, the permanent magnet is activated, which will secure the load through magnetism. When the key is turned to the 'off' position, the load will be released. 

Magnetic chucks are used in various machining processes, like milling and grinding. They're handy tools in workshops and manufacturing settings where metal components need to be securely held in place during these processes. The magnetic force helps to keep the workpiece stable, making it easier and more precise to shape or cut metal parts.
