Sourcing Magnets

[Keeferes]

So I need to source a couple switch magnets. I checked fat daddy, as well as magnet man with no luck. After many hours on Google I haven't had any luck. Looking for some sized 15mm (od) x 12mm(id) x 1mm(thickness). 1.5mm thickness would be just fine as long as the other numbers are right. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I buy small magnets for another purchase and always find the size I need on Amazon or at Hobby Town.

So no one else has any ideas?

I got switch magnets for my nemmy clone from fasttech. Cheap but slow.

Did you try K&J Magnetics?

I agree with trying K & J magnets, and also Apexmagnets.com .. hopefully you will have some luck there.

No joy on any of the ones mentioned so far. Thanks though.

are these for a particular mod, or a d.i.y. project ?

For a very bad stingray X clone. The normal 16x11x1 do not fit. This clone actually needs 15x12x1. At this point I am looking at Springs as an alternative.

 

[JulesXsmokr]

an idea could be to dremel with a sanding drum the inner hole to what you need.

I have considered that Jules. The problem is that these types of magnets are so brittle I am afraid of snapping them. As well as I would have to file the outside diameter of what I have also in order for them to fit in the channel.
