I'm looking at magnetizing my dreadnoughts arms, and also doing the same for my terminators.

it's kinda hard to find somewhere in NZ that sells 3mmx1mm Neodymium disc magnets for terminator arms, and also same deal for 4.5mmx1mm for dread arms.

Anyone have any recommendation s on where to get these for a decent price?

Cheers.

I've started using his 5mm x .5mm ones (200 of them for $33) for my bases.. working a treat.

Yeah as long as they are Neodymium magnets they will last forever and have pulling power like crazy, the 5mm can hold up nearly half a KG which is going to be more than you need for any bar the most extreme of extreme mini's.

I'm giving www.magneticso lutions.co.nz a shot, asking for a price on 20, 3mm x1.5mm and 4.75mm x 1.6mm magnets.

I'm still waiting for an answer on what the price would be shipped to Auckland.

I'd be interested in 20 of the 3*1.5, if that helps bring the price down any further

Cool man, I'll let you know what they reply with on pricing.

Ideally I was after 3mm x 1mm for the terminator arms, but 1.5mm will still fit fine as the arms are about 10mm thick.

I also need to sort out some 3mm and 4.5/5mm drill bits to put in my hand drill, need to visit my local trade shop.

20 only ND 3x1.5 Disc Magnets @ $0.69 =       $13.80

Still keen? I'm gonna order off these guys likely this week. I could order from amazing magnets and get more magnets for my money, but I'd be waiting a while on the shipping method.

If you're looking for magnets on the cheap and don't want to fork out for shipping, might I suggest:

http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.magnet

they do round ones in the 3mm range that might work for sockets and such, plus shipping from them is free.

Me and the geeks at work make small orders every so often just for some fun, you know?

Good luck!

I checked out that site, but they don't have disc magnets small enough for my terminator arms.

The guy from www.magneticso lutions.co.nz hasn't even replied to my request to make an order from him, I could have simply ordered from the amazing magnets, payed the same price and gotten more and have had them half way here by now Sad

EDIT: Placed an order from them now, getting 100 4.75mm x 1mm and 100 3mm x 1mm

I'm guessing Nik will be keen on a few of those 3mm discs, let me know if anyone needs some as well, If I could flick some off to reduce the order cost that would be nice Smiley

Cool as, I'll PM you when they land, should be here in a week or two.

I've already ordered as I've been looking into it for a while and can't be bothered stuffing around anymore, value for money I think amazing magnets are the winners it seems.
