Hello,
I have a circular Ferrite magnet that I need to cut for a project.
Is anyone free today before 7pm or anytime tomorrow to help me or teach me.

David,
The magnet is very hard and brittle, doesn’t machine well. And the pieces that come off are magnetic and stick to the cutting tool and machine features, so hard to clean up. I have personally always machined the part to receive the magnet instead of the magnet itself.
But it the attached Youtube video on the subject it appears quite possible:
Using a Dremel tool with a “reinforced” cutting wheel of all things!
I do not know off hand if this equipment is at the maker space currently, particularly the cutting wheel.
Regards,
Bob
The odds of finding a good cut-off wheel for the Dremel are not good. I’d definitely recommend buying your own if you go that route.
