Well, as a newcomer to machining, I have no experience using magnetic chucks. I purchased one recently, with the idea of passing it on to a friend who has a surface grinder and has been searching for one. This chuck is about 5" wide by 12" long.
My question is this: Is there any safe application for using a magnetic chuck on a mill? I was not sure if the side forces during cutting operations would cause the material to be dislodged and thrown from the mill, or at least moved destroying accuracy.
If it is safe to use the mag chuck on a mill, I may decide to keep it and use it myself.
Thanks for any help or suggetions.
