How to use a countersunk pot magnet
Countersunk pot magnets can be attached to non-ferromagnetic materials with the help of a countersunk screw; for example, to hold heavy fridge doors open and closed.
To attach the countersunk pot magnet to a non-ferromagnetic material, you will need to do the following: | |
Equipment required:
| |
Step 1 - Drill holeUse the cordless drill driver with the forstner drill bit attached to drill a flat-bottomed hole into a piece of non-ferromagnetic material, e.g. a piece of wood.
The forstner drill bit will produce a hole of a consistent depth with smooth sides, which is ideal to insert the countersunk pot magnet into. | |
A flat drill bit may also be used for this task, however it will not leave as neat a hole as the forstner drill bit due to its sharp pointed end | |
Step 2 - Insert countersunk magnetClear the hole of any wood chippings and insert the countersunk pot magnet with the countersunk hole facing upwards. | |
Step 3 - Fasten with screwFasten the countersunk magnet with the flat headed screws using a screwdriver. Continue doing this until the screw is flush (level) with the top of the countersunk pot magnet. |
