I received the magnet yesterday that I had ordered to see if I could replace the magnet in a base that I had which had lost most of its magnetism.
believe me you gotta keep ahold of the thing, any way I got started on making a holder for it out of some aluminum last night which I turned down to fit in the bore of the base and bored it out so the magnet would slide inside it.
This morning I scrounged up a hunk of tubing that was 1" ID and turned it down so it would fit in the base, now its off to the mill to cut a slot in the aluminum and cut two strips out of the steel tube then I will hopefully be able to get it all stuck together and see if it will work.
Will put up some pictures this evening hopefully.
