IMPORTANT: Magnets can move and impact with a lot of force when interacting with each other and with magnetic materials. Please handle with care.


TBOLT SIMPLE MAGNETS - ASSEMBLY DETAILS

TBOLT SIMPLE MAGNETS consist of three parts - a magnetic core and two steel plates (or poles). These offer good holding power when used with a metal building board, and are economical. TBOLT SIMPLE Magnets are very useful as a standalone fixture, and are the used in mulitples on other TBOLT MAGNETIC BUILDING Fixtures.

1 GLUE POLES TO CORE

If you decide to use a TBOLT SIMPLE MAGNET as a standalone fixture - you may want to glue the poles to the core. This makes handling the magent easier. Please note: we don't recommend gluing the poles to the core if you are using the magnets with a fixture. Also, the core will break if dropped or impacted - so handle with care.

ASSEMBLY

2 APPLY GLUE TO POLES

Separate the poles from the magnet core. Apply a small amount of adhesive to each pole - avoid getting adhesive close to the pole center hole. We recommend using TBOLT MMA-3B Adhesive.

TBOLT MMA-3B can be found here

Apply Glue to Poles

3 ATTACH POLES TO CORE

Use one of the included 10-32 bolts to align the poles to the core. Square up the poles and allow the adhesive to set.

Attach Poles to Core

TBOLT RIGHT ANGLE MAGNETIC FIXTURES - ASSEMBLY DETAILS

A TBOLT RIGHT ANGLE MAGNETIC FIXTURE consists of a trianglar 3D printed base (varies in size), QTY 4 - TBOLT SIMPLE MAGNETS, and mounting hardware. These fixtures offer excellent holding power when used with a magnetic (metal) building board. TBOLT RIGHT ANGLE MAGNETIC FIXTURES are excellent at holding and squaring up parts and assemblies.

1 GATHER COMPONENTS

To assemble a TBOLT RIGHT ANGLE MAGNETIC FIXTURE - you'll need a trianglar 3D printed base, QTY 4 - TBOLT SIMPLE MAGNETS, QTY 2 - 10-32 bolts, and QTY 2 - 10-32 nuts.

TBOLT RIGHT ANGLE MAGNETIC FIXTURE PARTS

2 SAND BASE EDGES

Sand the edges of TBOLT RIGHT ANGLE MAGNETIC FIXTURE base. The base may have some flashing/extra material from the 3D printing process. Lightly sand using 180 to 250 grit sand paper. Sand only enough to remove the excess material, and to square up the edges.
