<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "rare-earth magnets in UK?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net rare-earth magnets in UK?
I'm planning to start magnetising my models, and i'm just wondering if anyone knows of any UK suppliers of the magnets? i've found plenty of US websites, but no UK based sites. I'd rather not buy via US due to shipping costs/time, etc.

if anyone has any information that'd be fantastic

many thanks,
Ash]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408327.page GMT Re:rare-earth magnets in UK? UK if its what youre looking for.

quick Q, say if i'm magnetising arms on the space marine commander, what thickness is appropriate? i know i need around 3mm/0.125" diameter.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408395.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408405.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK?

If it's plastic then I'd say you'll be fine with 3mm x 1mm. I used the 4mm x 1mm circular magnets which were perfect for the arms on the plastic Chaos Terminator Lord kit. I used a Dremel to drill out holes the exact size and used superglue to mount them in. The magnetic strength is certainly good enough to hold the arms on and not strong enough to tear them out of the glue in the socket.

One tip, make sure you get the polarities right .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408490.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK?

I got the D1/8" x 1/16" size which seem to be just the right size to fit in a hole made with 2mm drillbit with space for glue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408769.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408889.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK? http://www.shop4tools.co.uk/acatalog/Neodymium_Magnets_Disc_Sphere_Block_Gold_Silver_Magnets.php

I've used these guys a load. They're cheap, reliable & have a great variety!


p.s. I always use 'Araldite Rapid' (the red & white tubes) to fix them in place, SuperGlue tends to be a bit too fragile.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408900.page GMT Re:rare-earth magnets in UK? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408934.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284072/1408948.page GMT rare-earth magnets in UK? http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/3711dave/

his auctions ussually end at very low prices.
