Welcome Alan.

Your Magnabend is a seriously good invention; I have been using several since 1985,

Cheers Charlie

Hi Dan,
There is not much that you can do to increase the clamping force of the magnet.
If you were starting from scratch you would make the magnet bigger but that is not an option for you.

However have a look at this page of my website:

Alan, welcome to the site. I bought my first Magna-Bend in 1981. I have long said if you can only have one brake this is the one to have. I wouldn't be without one.

Default Hi Alan,

It’s good to see you back on the site. Thank you for the link to your website, too would like more clamping force.
