## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to put this rod in the center of a round wood dowel and have it attach to a neodymium rare earth in a wood tablet. would this work?**
A: It is surely magnetic. Depends how strong the magnet is and how thick the wood between the magnet and rod is.

**Q: is this solid or hallow?**
A: The rod is solid.

**Q: Seriously? No dimensions?**
A: Yes. I bought these rods "blindly"( with no reference whatsoever);  now I know they are: 5.2 mm. (diameter) x 200 mm. (Long) ( too small for the price, isn't it? )
