A magnetic attachment mechanism and method is described. The magnetic attachment mechanism can be used to releasably attach at least two objects together in a preferred configuration without fasteners and without external intervention. The magnetic attachment mechanism can be used to releasably attach an accessory device to an electronic device. The accessory device can be used to augment the functionality of usefulness of the electronic device.

A drill press has a main housing, a drill unit supported by the main housing for relative movement therewith, and a base coupled to the main housing, the base includes a magnet assembly to create a magnetic field for magnetically latching the base to a workpiece. The magnet assembly is rotatably attached to the base and includes a shaft and at least one permanent magnet disposed on the shaft. The shaft is rotatable between a first position where the base would not magnetically engage the workpiece and a second position where the base would engage the workpiece. An auxiliary handle is pivotably attached to the main housing and movable from a first handle position preventing removal of a power tool battery pack from the main housing and a second handle position allowing removal of the power tool battery pack from the main housing.

An electrical device, such as a camera controller includes a connector having a first magnetic element and a first cam surface. An electrical housing includes a housing panel having an outer surface configured to receive the connector. A target element is disposed within the electrical housing. The target element includes a second magnetic element. The outer surface includes a second cam surface configured to engage the first cam surface and translate a rotation of the connector into an axial displacement of the connector. In one aspect, a target positioning member is configured to position the target element into the first position when the connector is removed from the outer surface. The targeting positioning member is further configured to position the target element into the second position when the first cam surface engages the second cam surface.
