Somehow I am managing to magnetize some of my tools. I have no idea how. First I magnetized my digital calipers which was really annoying since I would get chips stuck between the blades and not get a consistent zero. So I finally bought a new one! Now I have magnetized my chuck key. Really annoying when turning steel. I do not have any magnets on my lathe except for the tach which is enclosed in the housing and the key has never been near that.
1. Why is this happening? My wife says it is my magnetic personality; I know that's wrong.
2. Is there a good way to demagnetize these?
3. Do you own a commercial demagnetizer that you like? If so what brand.
4. Any other recommendations?
I'm seriously considering making a Titanium key....
