Cleaning welding magnets

Just watched a video on cleaning welding magnets.
Cant for the life of me think why I never thought of this before.
Use the air gun to blow the swarf off, so simple and quick.

I've been doing that for more years than I like to remember. it works great.

I have been doing it the hard way for too long.
I use a rag or paper towel to wipe the magnets clean.
air pressure makes a lot more sense

Coat your magnets with clarified kangaroo fat, they then just wipe right off...................

Best way to finish cleaning a magnet you care about is tape loops. Just schwack your way across all the surfaces.
Like a permanent magnet motor rotor, for instance.

Tried that but they kept jumping all over the place.

For all of my magnets Pryor to use I place them in a plastic bag.
remove the bag and no swarf

I use a steel wire brush. Chips come right off with ease.

That's a furphy! There is no fat in Kangaroos.... that's what makes their meat so healthy!
