hey I gotta trick.. maybe for using a plasma cutter.

I want to get or make a "magnet rope"
I would use a thick (but still flexible) cable and attath magnets every few inches

this cable could be formed to whatever shape you wanna cut to use as a "straightedge guide"

anyone have any ideas on this??

has anyone ever seen one that I could buy instead of make??

Draftsmen use something similar to form compound curves. It's plastic coated though, so it wouldnt be useful for much other than marking. Perhaps freehand a prototype

buddy of mine has one that he uses with his plasma cutter at his shop, I don't know where he got it though...

why not get a some rubber tubing, or something fire resistant and fill it with magnets?

yeah crazy please find out if you can..

or give me his number and I will call him at 3 am to ask

hehehe kiddin

I thought about the hose Idea but finding magnets that siz and strong would take the same amount of searching as finding a unit
that is already made!!!

guess it depends how much they are.

You could wrap somthing with wire and make an electro magnet.

I was actually wondering the same thing about having one of those. If you were to just make your own, I would recommend the elniko magnets (however you spell it). Strongest magnets I have seen. Amazingly strong actually. Just becareful to not leave the magnets in contact with hot surfaces too long.

If there is an aftermarket one, let us know.
