Welding Tips and Tricks

Where can I get a clamp like this?

BUT with the vpad on the other side? I need something like this to secure an oddball pipe to my chop saw

If it was me, I would buy that clamp and cut the ends off, swap them around and reweld it to what I need. It looks like it would be easy enough. Just my 2cts

it's not a bad idea and i have thought about it, but welding too close to a magnet will crack them.

TIG welding too close to a magnet will cause arc wander but I never heard of a a magnet causing a weld to crack.

They got those pads that screw on to top pads also. You need to have the heavy-duty top pads
