Hi
I originally posted this question on another site that should remain nameless and had no response.
Maybe I should have just come here first?.
I have two jobs to do;
1: A1011 steel 4 x 2 x ¾ machined all over one face removing about .35 in places.
2: 44W plate steel 3 x 1.5 x .100 machined all over one face and in places only leaving .01 thickness.
I would normally do this type of thing on the vacuum plate but there are thousands of them and I was thinking a magnetic plate would do the job, having looked on the net there are permanent styles which seem to be for grinding. Electromagnets I am not sure of in a VMC, and then the Electro-Permanent which seem ideal apart from plugging and unplugging to change parts.
Has anyone used any of these in production runs?
Would a strong fine permanent do the trick?
Thanks
Forrey.
