I have read and seen a few posts on using Neo magnets for magnetizing. Some say create a circuit some don't. Use a vice, watch your fingers, explosions and the list goes on and on. Don't forget toxic gas from the explosion. Maybe we can get this into a single post. I am less interested in the jigs themselves than the magnetizing procedure.
I have been looking at Neo's on several sites and checking size price and Gauss values. How high a value do you really need to charge ceramic and Alnico's? Been looking at Bar VS round shapes and this information seems like it would eliminate a lot of wrong Neo choices.
The second question is charging procedure for the two types of magnets, Bar and cylinder magnets. I know you pass the bar through the two Neo's but I am unclear of the correct procedure to charge the Rounds. I am lead to believe you just place the magnet in the field and then remove it, do not pass it through. But I am not sure these procedures are correct. How close should you get the magnets to the Neo's?
Also discharging Alnico's with ceramics, any tips?
Your help and debate is always welcomed.
