Magnum Small Square 45 and 90 Degree Welding Magnet (WM14590S)
Managing tight-clearance fit-ups is easier with the Magnum WM14590S, a compact square welding magnet designed for precise 45 and 90-degree alignment in restricted spaces. This tool acts as an indispensable "third hand" for light-duty fabrication, ensuring that square tubing and plate steel remain perfectly oriented during the critical first tack welds. The durable steel casing protects the magnetic element from the abrasive environment of the weld shop, providing a long service life for professional and hobbyist metalworkers alike.
Features
- Compact Square Design - Ideal for small assemblies where larger magnets would interfere with the torch.
- Fixed Angle Precision - Delivers reliable 45 and 90-degree stops for repeatable fabrication.
- Magnetic Stability - Securely holds ferrous materials to prevent vibration or movement during welding.
- Low Maintenance - Simple design allows for fast removal of metal filings and dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it safe to leave the magnet on while welding? A: It is recommended for tack welding; however, prolonged exposure to intense heat can degrade the magnetic strength over time.
Q: Can these be used on stainless steel? A: These magnets will only work on ferritic (magnetic) materials; they will not stick to 300-series stainless steel or aluminum.
