|  best way to fix tubes for brazing
i just begun brazing and brazing itself is really easy, but trying to fix the pieces is not easy. tubes are 4 and 6mm thick. i put them on a big magnet (left over from a loudspeaker) but now all my tools are magentized and it's not easy to position the tubes and hold them in place. because of the magnet, the tubes get there own north and south, and keep flipping around :( what do you guys use to fix the pieces? and pictures maybe? thanks in advance regards izeman |

I use mostly welding magnets. I have different sizes. The big one is pretty strong & it holds everything where I need it. You can try clamps also, but I like my magnets. | |

what are 'welding magnets'? are they some special types? what do they look like, and where to buy? i mean not the name of the shop, as we don't have them in europe, but what kind of shop. thanks! EDIT i just googled, and found some of them. which of those many products can you recommend? Last edited by izeman; 11-21-2009 at 02:46 PM. |

I don't have these exact ones, but they're similar. http://www.toolprice.com/category/we...eldingmagnets/ Get a few mini ones and two different size large ones & you should be good. |

if you use those careful with the flame, the magnet will burn, catch fire and even melt. regular magnets will work but over time lose their strength from the heat. if you heat them up to much or try to use the flame on them becareful, they will crack and break apart. |

I made my own set of heatproof "extra hands" for brazing a few months back. Here is a write-up: Homebrew Third Hand |

I made something very similar also, one thing I had problems with is the clips losing there tension when I got them too hot.
