So I just purchased a set of magnetic v-blocks and have noticed that the holding power on the top portion of the tool is highest when the bottom part is placed on a non magnetic surface.
As soon as turn on the magnet with the bottom part placed on a thick metal plate, the holding power of the V portion is reduced.
This is rather counter intuitive as one would assume that to get the greatest amount of holding power, both the bottom and the top parts should be coupled with thick steel.
The difference is pretty drastic and I'm kind of disappointed in them being that way.
Do all magnetic V-blocks behave in such a manner?
