Brand new to forum. Using a brand new Magnalock 16 X 32 electomagnetic Chuck. Separators run front to back. It is replacing a Chuck the same size, but separators on old one ran side to side. On the old chuck, I used steel parralell blocks along the rear of table to keep parts in sraight rows. I grind hard metal alloys that don't always stick down very good. Will have 30 to 50 parts on table at times. Here's my problem. On the new chuck I put the 2 steel parralell blocks (approx. 1" thick X 2" hi X 15" long) accross the back it causes a tremendous magnetic drop on my first row of parts. If I turn chuck off and remove blocks, the force increases (with chuck turned back on). This did not happen on previous chuck. Can this be installation error, or is there some properties of the magnetic fields that I don't understand causing this. Any help appreciated.
