Split neatly in two halves. All I had with me was superglue. Did have debor but thought it might be a bit too thick for the job. Tried the superglue, put motor back in and prayed. Got to about 500 revs and then there was a noise and it stopped 🙁 . Conclusion: praying doesn’t work.
Anyone had this before on a Bosch and succeeded in gluing it? Is the magnet ferrite? If so, what is ferrite?

Hi Mike,
I have had success with Araldite Rapid Steel with cracked magnets ,not tried it with fully broken in half ones though.Shaun p.s if used it needs about 24hr to set .
Re: Bosch WFL2450 tacho magnet in half. What glue?
Thanks Shaun. Trouble with the Bosch is the magnet is very thin but large diameter (maybe 45mm) and it fits right inside the motor casing, not on the outside like others. (As I daresay you know.) I don’t think there’s room for a filling sort of compound like that if you see what I mean. That’s why superglue would have been ideal as it is best when thinly coated. Just didn’t have the adhesive strength to overcome the centrifugal force – or perhaps I didn’t get it quite right under field operating conditions. It may be that she’ll get another machine tomorrow – there’s 3 good Bosch up for grabs in the local household auction! But if she doesn’t, I might have another crack at it.

I wish to nominate that priceless gem as “Quote of the Week!” 🙂
