Airfield Models (http://www.airfieldmodels.com/)Small Magnetic Fixture System II Set

$110.00 + Shipping.  Florida residents add 6.5% sales tax.

This set is discounted an additional 5% at checkout.

Set without magnets: $80.00 + Shipping & sales tax if applicable.

This set includes fourteen fixtures in three sizes.  The set builds model aircraft sizes from 1/2A to .40 size.  If you typically build small field models or box-fuselage type sailplanes then this set will get it done for you most economically.

A set like this is also nice if you have a drill press with a cast-iron table.  Before I built a dedicated drill press table I used my fixtures frequently to hold small parts in position because it was a lot faster than trying to find ways to rig up C-clamps to my table which has funky ribbing all over the bottom that my clamps kept slipping off of.

Almost without exception my customers are taken by surprise the first time they put one of my fixtures on a building board and try to remove it.  They really aren't prepared for how much holding power they have.

None of my sets are appropriate for rubber-power stick and tissue models.  Not even this set.  These fixtures are too heavy-duty for those kinds of models.

 

Due to customer requests there is now an option to purchase this set without magnets or magnet-mounting hardware.

Please be aware that these fixtures are designed for one specific magnet and are not guaranteed to work with any other.
