Put the magnet in a small ziplock bag when using it around steel filings. To clean the filings off of the bag, just remove the magnet from the bag.

move the magnet before you start grinding
grab at the clumps with a rag , and pull away
you won't get it all but most of it
or air like others have said

That looks like welding slag . Use petroleum jelly to coat them , same with the tip on your welding gun . Rags , old shirts anything to wipe them off with , and either burn or toss in trash . Lot cheaper than the anti slag dip welding shops sell .

If you cant rub it off with your fingers...theyre too soft yet!!! More heat treat! Lol. But until then, blow gun and safety glasses into garbage can. Those tiny fines and slivers are the worst ever.

Lot cheaper than the anti slag dip welding shops sell . Where you see slag? That's shavings on magnet. It looks more like welding slag than metal shavings or maybe grinder shavings . I don't see any shiny slivers , plus that's a welding magnet .

Although, what is that growing outta the top?
Nevermind, probably just metallic magnetic buildup.

Put the magnet in a small ziplock bag when using it around steel filings. To clean the filings off of the bag, just remove the magnet from the bag. Great advice. As soon as you do that, your inviting melted plastic, contaminates. and therefore porosity(weakness) into your welds. Just keep em clean.

I epoxied my helper magnets like that, works like a charm, easy to wipe off and as long as you don't put them on hot spots last forever !
Your still going to collect , but it is way easier to get off, especially with a air nozzle !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !
