Brown and Sharpe Magnetic Bases

Cosnar16 · Jan 28, 2021

Two vintage Brown and Sharpe Magnetic bases. Both work, but "on/off" is not necessarily where it's supposed to be. I believe that's why the pins were removed on the blue one. Both have indicator clamps but no rods or anything like that.

$30 each + shipping

How about $30 for both?

I'm not sure I understood you correctly, but if your new price now includes shipping, I'll take them.

$30 + shipping. They could go flat rate for $15 ori could get a price on my own box

If you try to repair the sloppy mechanism, do not push the magnet out of the housing. Without a keeper it will lose its magnetism. If you feel you must remove the magnet, slip it into a heavy steel tube of the same diameter as you push it out of the base. This isn't something you can do after pushing the magnet out, the loss of magnetism is instantaneous.

Ecosta, I guess I'll skip for now.

Gbent, thank you for the procedure description. I assume the heavy tube must be ferrous to serve as a keeper. Something like a black wall pipe, right?

Yes, steel. My bad. Needs to be a close slip fit.

Got it. Thanks.
