Word of caution about battery grinders. When fitted with a cut off wheel, chains and locks become only suggestions, not obstacles.

These replace a regular clamp, correct? I’ve seen other similar ground magnets and wondered how well they’d work.

These are handy as well for fabricating. I got 4 of them awhile back they help a lot.

I'm a cord guy. That's because I run a "grinder" hours at a time.
Add to the foregoing, I spend the extra hundred, give or take, to have the variable speed versions. I've found having variable speed capability opens all sorts of doors. For example, I use my Makita and Milwaukee as granite routers [with the appropriate diamond router bit] and polishers (I since scored a Flex with the water feed [but which is only one speed - wide open].

The right mag ground clamp on a clean bare metal surface works great, been there done that and liked it a lot.

Picked up the under the hood light a couple months ago, and it's fantastic. My first M12 "tool". So yesterday, I added to my M12 tool stable. I also finally got my M18 top handle saw. Ordered it 3 months ago.

A friend down in Georgia had saved the table off of a small Cincinnati milling machine for me that was being scrapped. Kind of a shame as the table appears to be in very nice condition, I would assume so was the rest of the mill.
Anyways, I think will be a nice compliment to the welding table and perhaps even on the Bridgeport as a big angle plate or jig plate. Weighs 220lbs.

I've got a Cincinnati horizontal mill that I bought for a couple hundred bucks 6, or 7, years ago. It was in pieces, and came from a college. The mill looks great, but missing several pieces, gibs and what not. I saved it from the scrap yard, but it's probably going to get stripped down and parted out. Maybe it will help someone else keep theirs going. The table is one thing I wanted to utilize in some way. It is a heavy sucker, for sure.
