yeah i can get them from 1x4 to 2x2...then it gets hard to the point i dont wanna push it untill i get a work place, like a vice and gloves and clamps,they really are strong little suckers,there about 1cm thick and about 2cm across.
..i saw a utube video ..cd magnet motors and thought if i use bigger magnets,now i see why they use finger nail sized magnets and not golf ball sized ones,there dangerous.

Such hazards are why I always use a remote materials handler for my strong Neos:

This way I get precision placement for my MBAs and Halbachs

My Dad told me a story once about when he worked at Bell Labs in Murry Hill, NJ. (Birthplace of the transistor among other things)  He said some engineers were pushing a huge round "super" magnet (almost 3 feet in dia.) down the hall on a shop cart.  Well, the walls in that part of the building were clad in steel. (God knows why)  they got a little too close to one of the walls and.....WHAM!!!!  He said the magnet flew off the shop cart and jumped about 3 feet and stuck to a wall.  No one got injured which was very lucky.  He said that it took them about a week to figure out how to get that magnet of of the wall.  I think they ended up cutting a section of the wall out.  Very dangerous, thanks Stefan.
