Effective on smooth or rough surfaces, channel magnets are made of ceramic,
or ferrite, magnets mounted in a steel channel. Steel channels come with holes
at either end making them extremely useful for mounting
on cabinets, walls, or anywhere where a magnetic "rack" is necessary,
or for use as bases for machine tool accessories. Three types are available -
horseshoe channel magnets, which features a heavy-duty frame protecting a powerful
ceramic magnet, and standard Low Profile channel magnets in Short (5-1/2")
and Long (12") length, which are useful where height is a limiting factor.
