Hello, I am looking into purchasing magnets and found this set from themanufactorum.com:

http://www.themanufactorum.com/kits/index.htm#generic

I was looking at purchasing K&J but this set seems like a pretty good starter set, even comes with drill bits and a handy tool for setting the magnets.

Has anyone used these magnets before and can comment on the quality?

Also, what is a good 15 minute two-part epoxy to use?

i got 2 words for you.. Over Priced.

that is waaay to much for 100 magnets and 4 drill bits.

www.amazingmagnets.com is my go-to magnet source, with sooo many shapes and sizes at such low prices (with quantity discounts too) you can find what you need easily.

there is no need for HSS bits as you are only drilling into plastic and your "helper tool" could be the back of a nail or a hex bolt.

you should be able to get away with using crazy glue for smaller magnets, 2 part epoxies use too much material when mixing a batch up. If you really need some that you can atleast attempt to measure out i would go with J-B Weld as it comes in squeezable tubes.

Their instructions are fantastic (all my predators and razorbacks are using his instructions).

The tools are fantastic too. Yeah you could use a nail or hex bolt, but having magnets glued on there make it easy to check depth, and (if you aren't stupid like me) they are great for not messing up polarity.

The drill bits are fantastic too.

Amazing magnets is awesome and I buy magnets from there, but sometimes you don't need 100 of one size. For one off purchases, manufactorum is great.

Do beware, I know a couple years ago he had issues sending stuff out. I waited months to get stuff. He was really busy and his hired help didn't help. I would email before placing an order.
