    Talking to a friend about Vevor. Went to read up on Vevor and found this video. I assume it’s a Chinese company “based” in California.
    Good idea. Answers my suggestion about the fixture holes. I have the same clamps with a 5/8 bolt welded to the bottom.
    Ditto on bolts from TS.

      They are definitely a Chinese company, but have warehouses in the United States. Most of my items arrive in 2-3 days.

    I thought the magnetic field may have been interfering with your welding... I didn't think about aluminum. We had some strong magnets at work for our food grade metal detector - they could only be moved in the plant when in plywood boxes. Split a guy's fingertip when one clamped onto a handrail he was passing.

    • @TKCL
      @TKCL  11 місяців тому

      Funny you mention this it does mess with the welding when in the on position. This was only when welding to the magnet itself.

  • @jamesspry3294
    @jamesspry3294 11 місяців тому

    They put aluminium on tge sides and the ends so that it concentrates the magnetic flux in the "middle" (the open but underneath. Remember, the magnet is always on.
    Putting a steel endplate on there will make it magnetic too...

    • @TKCL
      @TKCL  11 місяців тому

      I figured it had to be for a reason, good to know. The end isn't magnetized when off, but it is slightly when on I noticed. Doesn't seem to affect anything while welding.

    Idea: you dont need to patent, really not worth the time. However, you could fabricate the end plate for sale, people would be more apt to purchase the magnet and then your product to go with it. Meaning that many people dont feel confident to fabricate the end plate accurately. Or sell/ trade the idea to Vevor for product?

      I paid $54 per magnet, not sure where you are seeing $90. Sign up with Vevor for an instant discount and use this code VVPRO for 5 percent off your order. You must have priced out a higher load rated magnet, or didn't see the discount price under the "retail" price.
