Ordered a z probe from v1 and got this cylindrical magnet. What’s it for?

You need one wire to be touching the bit when probing. The magnet is just a shortcut to have it hold onto the bit without fiddling with the clip.

I had to laugh when I saw the kit. Those clips are the ones we use for electric fencing gear (the sport).

I first tried holding the magnet in the clips of the jaws, but it would still slide out and end up on the bit/collet and I was afraid it would turn into a projectile if I ever missed pulling it off before firing up the spindle. I ended up using a little super glue and the magnet now stays firmly attached to the clip.
It flies off before gaining too much momentum. Good luck finding it though.
