Another Magnetic Breakaway Torch Mount

Post by TrinityFabworks »

Just figured I would show my version of a diy magnetic breakaway torch mount. All in all, with the magnets, aluminum drops, linear rails, and micro switches for the floating head I probably have about $50-$60 bucks in a floating torch head with a magnetic breakaway. It works great! It locates on the 4 domed bolt heads, which gave me some adjustment. With my last magnetic torch mount, I had it locate on bearings. Once it started getting junk behind it, there was some play in them. This way, I can make tiny adjustments to take the play out of it, and to get it cutting square.

Hahaha I'm not sure why all of my pictures ended up sideways, but it does make it a little difficult to look at!
