Magnetic holders for welding sheet metal

Post by MikeNash »

What ho, chums!

Just bought today from Lidl a couple of magnets to assist in holding sheet metal for welding at £3.99 each.
See here and scroll down http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?id=840

They also had (in Andover) a couple of arc welders at £39.99 each although these are, of course, unsuitable for welding car body work.
Regards, MikeN.
Morris Minor, the car of the future. One day they will all look like this!

But handy for building a roll-over jig - and many other uses..

Hold sheet metal and automotive metal panels firmly in a positive location for cutting, welding, tacking, painting and repair operations.
