Great idea for a DIY'er. I also very much appreciate the honest comment at the end of how this design saves money, but takes time. Suggestion - large headed bolts, heads down, screwed into place instead of metal rods. Inexpensive and if short ones are bought - no cutting.
Nice job! You might want to mention that when you sand the surface smooth, make sure not to heat up the magnets as high temperatures cause a loss of magnetism.

I’m an artist, and often work on very large canvases/panels. Up until now, rather than use an easel, I have used a cleat system where I have what looks a bit like a ladder mounted near the wall with “rungs” comprised of wood cleats with the top edge beveled back 45 degrees, and a corresponding piece of wood screwed to the back side of the panel with the other half of the cleat, bottom edge beveled back 45 degrees. Then, I can simply slip the panel onto a “rung” at the desired height rather than have to climb up on a stool to work on parts of the paintings. But it’s a pain, with larger panels, to have to ask someone to assist me in raising and lowering the piece onto different rungs. So I’m making a new system without cleats where a winch will do the raising and lowering of a sled that will somehow connect to the back side of the panel. Only, I’ve been stuck trying to figure out how to securely connect the panels to the sled. What I want is to be able to slip the panel onto the sled while the panel is resting on the floor. Compounding things is that I’d really like the option of rotating the paintings to work on them inverted at times (when working abstractly). All that to say that while your video has given me a good solution that should allow me to not only secure a panel to a sled but also rotate it. I think I’ll want something like what you’ve made, only more like 2’ in diameter, with more magnets, and the ability to do a full 360 rotation, not just a back and forth, on/off.
Andrew, congratulations clever design. this "platter" design is similar to a design from GM, patented in 2005. By the way Ok for people to still build but, u need permission for commercial products. Magswitch has different platter design, we use different sizes. 10mm. 15mm, 20mm and 30mm. The sizes effect field depth and smaller is stronger, relatively, than the larger on thin material
Andrew, I am really pleased to have found your channel (via James @ Stumpy Nubs). I'm a retired engineer/toolmaker who has discovered the joy of working with wood in my retirement, but I still love using the metal lathe and milling machine as much as the wood shop machines, and I am seeing some great project ideas already. I will absolutely be making a switchable magnet, but probably not copying your design exactly. BTW I have a pretty cool vice project getting close to being finished, but nowhere near as elaborate as your twin screw vice. That is a thing of beauty!
The steal posts are separate. When he turns the top they align with the ones on the bottom and transfer the magnetic field to the bottom posts. Turning them on.
@@Laugh1ngboy Nothing is stolen. Also, the steel posts are aligned in both positions, however, the magnets are arranged so that in one position they line up so that the top and bottom work together to make a much stronger field, and in the other position, they are aligned so that the magnets of the 2 layers basically cancel each other. This is why the magnets have to be alternated. If they weren't alternated, then this wouldn't work, because there would be no difference in what is lined up in the different positions. If you really want to suck all the fun out of it, check out the explanation here: www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=magswitch
I thought “glue sticks” are used to make “hot glue”??? BTW ~(since I’m here)~ Can someone tell me if there are glue sticks of different “quality’s” that work better than others, cause the dollar store glue does NOT work well, 🤔🗯 BUT MAYBE it’s because of my “glue gun”? ... also from the dollar store 😕 THANK YOU for helpful replies & suggestions 👍😊
@@judy-9999 While the rods that go into a hot glue gun have come to be known as glue sticks, David was referring to the kind that children used in place of liquid or paste glue in school -- essentially a thick paste glue in a lipstick dispenser.
Nice! A handle would be and awesome addition since you'd be lifting stuff, backside of where those screws go in could be an awesome attach point, just use longer screws :) Awesome tool for the shop!
I used the large template and 50% sized the plans and used 1/4" rod and magnets. It worked pretty well and for cutting the rod, I drilled a hole through a chunk of 4x4 ane pushed theres through to length and used a metal blade on my sawzall. Not as good as a bandsaw, but much easier than a hacksaw.
Thanks Andy! Templates are downloaded and the project is added to my list, er, scroll. I'm thinking aluminum might be more durable than plywood, especially in the machine shop.
SOOO glad you used Baltic lol you should sand each piece separate with 4-600 grit then Minwax paste wax polish the. They’ll be protected and super low friction and look great
Just a quick tip about applying patterns in case it comes in handy for you. You can transfer the toner from laser prints with a cloths iron. Works best if you print to glossy paper. Hey what was the cost on each for the magnets?
WITCHCRAFT...BOIL HIM IN OIL! But seriously this is super cool...I've wondered how switchable magnets work for a long time but never imagined it was so straightforward. Awesome wood working skills too, I exclusively work in metal...i can machine exotic alloyies to ten thousanths of an inch but, I struggle to build a wooden box.
If the the top and bottom of a post are the same polarity (switched on), to get to the other pole flux will go through whatever the magnet is placed on to get to the next post. If the discs are rotated so the magnets on top and bottom are different, a magnetic circuit is formed between the center post and the outer one and there would be almost no field strength on the outside. On. Off. (N-S). (N-S) (N-S). (S-N)
Just a suggestion to make it easier to build. In the beginning you glued the template to the wood. If you buy full sheet labels and print it out on that it'll stick right on without glue.
I've always wondered how mag locks work and this video just made the electrons hit the filament! Maybe if enough of us make our own then it will cause a glut from the factories and drop the price ? Hehehe
Hello, i have bought your plan, and there is no mention of the thickness of the wood. I assume 1/2 "as the height of the magnet for the large model? You talk about this in the video, but my english is not good enough to spot where you would give this information. Thanks!
I just downloaded the wooden mag switch plans. They do not include any dimensions, in particular: 1) the thickness of the plywood 2) the lengths of the steel rods 3) diametric location of the small rods 4) diametric location of the arcs Scaling from a print is poor practice. The video says to make the Base and Mount from 1/4 or 3/8 plywood. The large design uses 1/2inch dia magnets, so 3/8 plywood will not work for the Base which has radial holes. Noting that 12 magnets are used would be helpful. Your source for magnets has increased the cost to $21.50 for 12 large magnets. They are out of the N42 design. But for modestly more, the N45 are available. Any idea if the N42 and N45 ratings are accurate from this place? The quoted pull strengths are 1.5x to 2x too high. McMaster reports lower pull strengths for the better N52 magnets. McMaster is an authoritative source. And a Magswitch 150 now costs a bit more than twice the magnets from your source. Of course, the Magswitch is metallic and smaller.
This vid just showed up and I noticed that you must be the guy that built Adam's new bench. Beautiful design of both the Bench and the switch. Is there any way to unlock (i.e. provide a slide option) on your vice design in addition to the two speed version. (on the bench) I know that the solid wood design is certainly a selling point, but I wonder about stability over the years. I used 3 layers of 3/4" mdf w/ Maple & Cherry top for my bench, but certainly think you did an absolute fantastic job on Adam's bench and love the steel frame. (Again assuming you were the designer).

shouldn't it be possible to make perpetual motion machine with this device? the energy it takes to turn the magnet on and off should be much smaller than potential energy difference between the two stages?

Temporary hook or other type of holder mount for metal surfaces, mounting cameras, or least having secondary option for camera mounts on metal things like cars, or for Indie movie maker who wants camera to be mounted on some I beam or something, cleaning work bench or trash from magnetic metal shavings. Theres just few ideas top of my head.
A pair are good for lifting awkward sheet metal, put a 3x3 or 4x4 steel plate on the bottom with it turned on, swing it around to pick up nuts, bolts, nails, etc, then turn it off over your bench or sorting tray to release them. Same for collecting iron shavings after filing or grinding. Makes a nice clamp for use on a drill press or to hold two pieces of metal in place to tack weld (basically any function clamps can do on wood, one of these can do on magnetic metal, just don't heat them up or you'll have to replace the magnets).
Would it work to use stacked washers instead of cut steel rod? I"m just trying to think of a way to create this design without having to figure out how to cut through steel rod. I also thought that steel dowels might work but for the size I'm thinking they are a little too long, maybe.
Very cool. I picked up two 6" 120v electromagnets that are just.. INSANE.. But I don't really know what to do with them other than build a wheeled nail picker upper.. I bet I could rip metal out of the ground from 4 inches down with these babies lol but I havent' attempted that project yet. Otherwise idk what I'd use magnets like this for.
Andrew, I have tried and tried to get the template, but it will not let me; even though I have put in everything they ask for. I do not have a mobile phone. Maybe that's it. Not sure. I tried my line phone, still no let me. Sorry bout that.
Hi Andrew, we were in contact a couple years ago regarding patenting. Seems you had patented some inventions, is that correct? I don’t know if mine (the bagwell) had been licensed then or not, but it was and is starting to pick up steam after covid slowed it down. Regardless, I just bought the templates for these because I’ve been going to buy some but never did and they look like they’re fun to make. I’ll let you know how they turn out. I may also be moving to Colorado at some point so may pick your brain as to where if you don’t mind? Thanks again for providing a build for these.
It's a great concept which seems like it should be incredibly useful, but my mind has gone blank in terms of thinking of something to use it in! I'm sure there'll be something obvious. What are your intentions for them, other than lifting vice parts?

Very interesting video. I appreciate your straight forward advice at the end when discussing cost and time. Keep up the good work
A lot of amateur engineering sprung from my mind as I followed your interesting video. Thanks.
Super strong magnets! Why not make the outside shape rectangular so you have a reference surface that is flat and consistent?
Actually 6-sided would be better for installing all the magnets (and drilling their holes).
I found it interesting. Didn't understand 90% of it, but interesting none the less.

Hi Andrew, we were in contact a couple years ago regarding patenting. Seems you had patented some inventions, is that correct? I don’t know if mine (the bagwell) had been licensed then or not, but it was and is starting to pick up steam after covid slowed it down. Regardless, I just bought the templates for these because I’ve been going to buy some but never did and they look like they’re fun to make. I’ll let you know how they turn out. I may also be moving to Colorado at some point so may pick your brain as to where if you don’t mind? Thanks again for providing a build for these.

Good honest and interesting video, thanks for sharing
Thank you!
It's a great concept which seems like it should be incredibly useful, but my mind has gone blank in terms of thinking of something to use it in! I'm sure there'll be something obvious. What are your intentions for them, other than lifting vice parts?
adjustable feather board is an easy one
Great for welding table..
Could you design a switchable magnet for holding a piece of work under a Milling machine or belt sander?
