Cullen-Legois Manufacturing Inc. has been a trusted source of precision magnetic tools and industrial solutions since 1951. Our reputation as a magnet manufacturer is built on a commitment to quality and innovation. From magnetic bases and holders to centering tools and precision measurement devices, each product is carefully engineered to give professionals the confidence they need in their work. Beyond our product line, we also provide support services such as metal grinding services and custom magnetic solutions to meet specialized industrial requirements.

Below is a detailed look at the categories we offer, helping you understand the range and capability of Cullen-Legois Manufacturing Inc.

Centering Heads

Centering heads are one of the most widely used tools by welders, pipe fitters, and fabricators who need precise alignment on pipes, tanks, or structural components. These tools allow workers to mark exact centerlines and angles, saving time and preventing costly errors in layout work.

Our centering heads are built with durability in mind, featuring sturdy construction that holds up under repeated use in demanding environments. Whether you are handling heavy pipe work in shipbuilding or smaller fabrication jobs in a shop, our centering heads provide accuracy that professionals depend on.

Magnetic Bases and Holders

Magnetic bases and holders are essential tools for machinists and fabricators who rely on stability during measurement. Cullen-Legois offers a wide range of Erick magnetic bases, each built with powerful magnets to keep measuring devices steady on metal surfaces.

These bases are frequently paired with dial indicators or gauges, ensuring that readings remain accurate without slippage. By combining strength with adjustability, our magnetic bases make it simple to hold tools in place, even in tight or awkward positions. As a magnet manufacturer, we pride ourselves on offering bases that give workers reliable results with every use.

Magnetic Pick-Up Tools

Workshops and industrial sites often deal with small metal parts, shavings, and debris that are hard to collect by hand. Our magnetic pick-up tools are designed to solve that problem quickly. Whether you’re retrieving a dropped fastener from beneath machinery or cleaning metal filings from a workbench, these tools save time and protect workers from cuts or other hazards.

The strength of our pick-up magnets means they can handle both light debris and heavier objects, making them valuable across industries.

Magnets – Alnico and Neodymium

As a long-standing magnet manufacturer, Cullen-Legois supplies a variety of magnets to support industrial needs. We offer both Alnico and Neodymium magnets, each with its own advantages.

  • Alnico Magnets: Known for stability at high temperatures, these are ideal for welding or heat-intensive environments.
  • Neodymium Magnets: Strong and compact, these magnets provide maximum holding force in small dimensions, making them perfect for demanding clamping or holding tasks.

Our customers use these magnets for holding, lifting, clamping, and positioning, providing reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

Flat Base Protractors and Dial Levels

Precision measurement is essential in machining, welding, and structural work. Flat base protractors and dial levels are tools that support this accuracy.

  • Protractors allow users to measure angles with exactness, ensuring cuts and welds meet specifications.
  • Dial Levels are used to confirm proper alignment and leveling, whether in machine setup, construction, or inspection tasks.

Both tools are manufactured with durable materials that stand up to shop and field conditions, giving professionals confidence in their readings.

Indicator Kits and Accessories

Indicator kits are vital for measurement and inspection work. Cullen-Legois provides complete kits that include dial indicators, test indicators, and mounting accessories. These kits make it possible to check tolerances, align machinery, and verify dimensions with high accuracy.

We also offer modern accessories such as digital indicator mounting kits, dovetail holders, and adaptors, giving workers more flexibility in how they set up and use their indicators. These additions are part of our ongoing commitment to providing tools that support precision in manufacturing and fabrication.

Magnetic Lights

Proper lighting is critical in any workshop or fabrication environment. Our magnetic lights provide bright, focused illumination that can be positioned exactly where needed. The magnetic base keeps the light steady on metal surfaces, freeing up hands for work.

These lights are particularly useful in welding, machining, and assembly applications, where visibility and precision go hand in hand. Their durability makes them a long-lasting addition to any workspace.

Scribers and Measuring Tools

For layout work, scribers remain an essential tool. These hardened steel tools are used to mark lines on metal surfaces with clarity and precision, providing a clear guide for cutting, drilling, or welding.

By combining our scribers with measuring devices, machinists and fabricators gain the ability to create accurate markings that improve overall project quality.

Soft Jaw Liners

Soft jaw liners are a valuable accessory for machinists who use vises in their daily work. These liners protect workpieces from scratches or deformation during clamping, while still holding them firmly in place.

Cullen-Legois offers soft jaw liners that fit standard 4-inch vises, making them practical and easy to use in machine shops. They are especially useful when working with finished surfaces or delicate materials that require both grip and care.

Custom Magnetic Solutions and Services

Every industry has unique challenges, and Cullen-Legois is prepared to meet them with custom magnetic solutions. Our engineering team works directly with customers to design and build magnetic tools that address specific needs, whether that involves custom sizes, shapes, or magnetic strength.
