From the welding magnetic mass (terminal), which is used as an alternative to the traditional "clothespin", you can make the fixture "Third hand" of the welder. The terminal itself is often used by welders for more convenient and quick connection of the contact from welding to the part to be welded. You can order it on the Internet.
Most likely, many already know about the benefits of the device itself - such home-made work will be useful to both beginners and experienced welders. And you can make the adapt yourself. If you often have to weld small parts, then the "third hand" of the welding magnetic mass will definitely not hurt.
First of all, it is necessary to cut a piece of profile pipe 10x10 mm. We drill a through hole in it, and then fasten it to the welding magnetic mass with a bolt. Please note that the profile must be fixed vertically.
The main stages of work
Next, cut a small piece of the profile pipe 15x15 mm. To avoid strong backlash, it is necessary to bend slightly into the profile wall. After that, we put the workpiece on a vertical rack. The finger of the "third hand", which will press the part, can be made of a steel bar or a stud of a suitable diameter.
We grind the finished "finger" on an emery machine under the cone. Then bend the rod at a slight angle and weld it to a metal "clothespin". In a short section of the profile, you need to make a hole and weld a nut into which we then screw the fixing bolt.
