Magswitch 1000 Lbs Magnetic Vise
Product Overview
The Magswitch 1000 Lbs Magnetic Vise, part number 8100450, is a portable magnetic workholding tool designed for welding, fabrication, drilling, cutting, grinding, beveling, and other metalworking tasks. Unlike a conventional vise that must be permanently bolted to a workbench, the MagVise uses a switchable permanent magnet that can be turned on or off mechanically, allowing quick positioning on compatible ferrous surfaces.
The vise can hold flat, round, square, and angle stock and can also function as a multi-angle workholding tool. It offers fixed working angles of 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°, along with their corresponding complementary angles.
Key Features
Switchable magnetic base turns completely on and off without electricity.
Portable design eliminates the need for permanent bolting to a work surface.
Multi-angle positioning supports 45°/135°, 60°/120°, 75°/105°, and 90° setups.
Versatile workholding accommodates flat, round, square, and angle-shaped steel.
Suitable for drilling, cutting, grinding, sanding, beveling, and welding fabrication.
Designed to hold both flat and round steel surfaces.
Magnetic system stays relatively clean because the magnet can be switched off when not in use.
Compact construction makes it convenient to move between work areas.
Magnetic Workholding System
The MagVise uses a mechanical switchable magnet rather than an electrically powered magnetic system. This allows the operator to position the vise, activate the magnetic holding force, perform the work, and then switch the magnet off when it is time to reposition or remove the tool.
The manufacturer lists a maximum breakaway force of 1,000 lbs (454 kg) for the 8100450 specification. Actual holding performance depends on factors such as steel thickness, surface condition, contact area, and the direction of applied force, so the maximum breakaway figure should not be treated as a universal working-load rating.
Multi-Angle Function
Beyond acting as a magnetic vise, the MagVise can be used as an adjustable workholding aid. Its preset angle positions include:
45° / 135°
60° / 120°
75° / 105°
90°
This makes it useful for positioning components during fabrication and for maintaining repeatable angles while working on steel parts.

Applications
The Magswitch 1000 Lbs Magnetic Vise is useful for a range of metalworking operations, including:
Welding and fabrication
Drilling steel components
Cutting and grinding
Beveling edges
Sanding and finishing
Positioning steel for assembly
Holding round or flat stock
Setting components at repeatable angles
Why Choose the Magswitch 1000 Lbs Magnetic Vise?
The main advantage of the Magswitch MagVise 1000 is its combination of portability and strong magnetic workholding. It can be positioned directly on a suitable steel surface without requiring a permanent bench-mounted installation.
Its multi-angle capability further expands its usefulness beyond conventional vise applications, making it a practical tool for fabrication shops, maintenance work, field operations, and other applications where flexible steel workholding is important.
Important Safety Note
The 1,000-lb maximum breakaway force is a laboratory-rated maximum, not a blanket safe working load for every application. Magswitch notes that actual magnetic force can vary according to the material, thickness, surface condition, and application. The tool should only be operated in contact with a suitable ferrous target and should be tested for the intended application before use.
