Cutting Fabric with a Seklema Mat

Rare earth magnets are fabulous - and as long as you keep them on the edges you’ll do fine :slight_smile:

If you ever want to use them in the middle, keep in mind that in the :glowforge: at least, when the fan goes over them it often slows down and stops your work with a warning that your fan has an issue.

The solution to that is putting a piece of metal over the tops of the magnets, so they’re shielded and the magnetism can only go in one direction :slight_smile: Harddrive magnets come with shields already attached so I’ve taken to using those.
