Cutting magnets without losing magnetization (Curie temperature issue)

AI Thread Summary
Cutting barium ferrite magnets without demagnetizing them can be challenging. Water jet cutting is suggested as a viable method for achieving this without the use of a rock saw. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of water jet cutting, which is quicker than anticipated. Participants express gratitude for the shared knowledge on the topic. Overall, water jet cutting appears to be a practical solution for this issue.

Hello,
I wanted to know, if someone knows of a realistic option of, how to cut barrium ferrite magnets without using a rock saw and without demagnetizing the magnet obviously?
Thanks in advance everyone.

How about water jet cutting?

Have to say, that was much quicker than expected:D Thank you. Just didn`t know that much about this subject, that`s all.
 
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
