I don't suppose anybody knows how to build one of these?

I actually need to magnetise a long bed with which to place steel stalks onto. Any ideas?

    because of the specific shape required, it is actually a pre-cast concrete mould. The stalks are used to hold inserts whilst the concrete cures. At the moment the they have to be accurately placed and welded into position.

    Interesting problem. I'd try posting to the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup, there are lots of people there who could help with that sort of thing. I'm not sure if your idea is feasible; what are the dimensions of the inserts and are the ends machined flat?

    for pre-cast moulds, you can use a product called EP Press (http://www.sardamagnets.com/product.asp?ProdID=144). They are specifically designed for mould clamping.

    If you have any other magnetic requirement, you can visit our website www.sardamagnets.com. we also have a forum where we provide free consulting, feel free to ask us more questions.
