Just to let you know there are lots of "rare earth magnet" bargains on ebay. I bought some to make some jigs that attach to the metal top of the table saw.Would it be easier to use a piece of steel as a rib building board and glue the guide blocks on to it and then simply use loose magnets on top of the gussets and against the cap strips. They would stick anywhere.Steve in Maine>From: Clif Dawson >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Magnetic Rib Clamping>Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:46:00 -0700>>>You need a different magnet.>>http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx ... 2348>>Also, are you drilling out shallow holes to bring the magnet>flush with the board?
