I bought afew neo's from Forcefield awhile back and they sent a warning with the shipment: Do not attempt to drill, cut, or machine these until doing some research. They are brittle, so odds are, as soon as you try, the magnet will break. They also lose their field when overheated (200-300deg F. depending on the magnet). If overheated too much, they burn, super hot, and super fast, like magnesium. The fumes given off by combustion are extremely toxic. If you were to try dilling these, the dust will build up on the bit, and one spark could set it off, so...DON'T TRY! They also recommend gloves when handling these magnets. Also obviously keep away from computers, monitors, tv sets, cassette tapes, floppy discs, and people with pacemakers.
