Alan Bottomley, the inventor of the Magnabend has posted some information on his web site. Not the User's Manual, which has always been available, but Principles of Operation (magnetic & electrical). He has a place mark for "Build Your Own Magnabend", which I eagerly await.

Good stuff Maynard, check it out:

The "Build Your Own Magnabend" section is available and it's very interesting. It's something of a work in progress, but mostly complete:

Also, Alan has also been posting to the MagnaBend thread on the Practical Machinist forum:

As much as I enjoy building stuff from scrounged parts & material (e.g., MOTs), I'm starting to get The Fever for a built-right Magnabend. Just now, when there's so much house & garden stuff to do. Sigh.
