The magnetic base was taken from a magnetic car aerial which was obviously stripped of all plastic bits "and drill through the centre and attached to the torch holder.
The torch is held with two 1.25- 1.5" BICC cable clamps which fit perfectly around the torch.
The torch is very "stuck" once attached but also detaches if it comes across an obstruction. There will be a micro switch attached to stop motion in case of a collision but that is to be attached.
I used this type of magnet so that i have an infinite number of angles to choose from if needed.
The torch and spindle occupy the same z axis as the is plenty of room on the table for both and i just cover it up when plasma cutting and remove the torch when i router with the spindle.
Hope this helps anyone if they are looking for ideas.
Cheers Tommy
