Uses for our rare earth cylinder magnets:

Small cylindrical magnets are well suited to insertion into circular drill holes or round recesses in wood, MDF, acrylic plastic or pretty much any material. They can then act as an attachment point for metal or make a closure mechanism with another magnet with the opposite pole exposed. The magnet can be fixed into position with glue or held in place with a thin veneer covering such as a vinyl overlay.

Magnets are frequently used as clasps or joins, Cylinders are a popular choice for this type of application and are used by woodworkers, hobbyists and model makers. The magnet can be incorporated into the design in such a way as to be virtually invisible and far less obvious than traditional fastening methods.
Rod magnet is another common term for this shape of magnet which has a more focused magnetic field. The depth of magnetic material between the north and south poles creates a magnetic field that is longer than what is produced by other permanent magnet shapes such as a disc of the same diameter.
