Hi all
I picked up a 6" compound mag sine chuck a while back for a good price, minus the power supply. I've been halfheartedly keeping an eye out for a power supply for it, but I've started wondering if a permanent magnet version would be less hassle.
As I understand it, the main benefit of the electromag chucks is that the magnet can be turned partially on if needed, for example with thinner workpieces to eliminate bowing/flexing.
I run my surface grinder infrequently, and the mag sine chuck is on the shelf "just in case" - I haven't had a need for it yet. I mostly work on small prototype stuff, one-offs etc. Would it make sense to sell the electric chuck and just buy a permanent magnet version, or are there other benefits I'm missing?
Thanks,
Lee
