One last question

You wet the part first, then fired the shots. Which magnetizing technique was that?

MT · One Coil, Two Jobs

Make a magnet — then unmake it

The same bench coil magnetizes and demagnetizes. The difference is the current, and what the part does:

  1. SHOT · continuous wet method: wet the part, stop the flow, then two ½-second shots while it's still wet. Particles pile up at the ends — it's a magnet now.
  2. DEMAG: flip the selector — continuous AC. Coil on, pull the part through and past the line, coil off.
  3. Check with the field indicator — under 3 G passes.
