I want to have my units on a magnetic base and i know how am going to put it together. I was wondering what strength magnet do i need? I am going to be using 1/8" x 1/16" magnets. I see a lot of N42 and N48. I found on amazon a bunch of N48 magnets for not that much, but i dont know if that would be to strong. I was thinking N40 but haven't found any.

Would N48 magnets be to strong?
Are there stores that sell 1/8" x 1/16" magnets in store and not just online?
would 1/8"x1/16" magnets be big enough for 25mm and 40mm square bases?

I use the 3/16" disc magnets from K&J Magnetics myself.

These are plenty strong enough to hold a terminator sized model upside down on a steel tray.

My magnetic bases are from GF9.

I use cutoffs of galvanised ducting glued to mdf trays for my movement trays (HVAC specialists down the road and they let me root throught their bins).
