Default Neodynium magnets

I need some about 1" in dia. and 1/4" thick for a project. China is cheap but takes forever. Anyone know of a place to source them locally ?

Not sure what "Neodynium" means but Lee Valley Tool has really powerful Rare Earth Magnets, 1/2" up to 1"

UFA sells cow magnets for about a dollar each. They are extremely strong, like extreme!
They are about three eighth's by about three inches long. Maybe they would work?

I need only 4, they seem to be larger numbers and comparatively pricey, but that may be the way to go. Thanks

Spinning hard drives have them too. I have harvested dozens of them from old hard drives. Mostly half moon shaped, but about the size you are looking for.

I buy magnet door latches from Windsor plywood. They come in a 4 pack with cups for each magnet

They are door latch magnets for double swing closet doors
