Stator magnets

My brother broke a magnet in two after it dropped to the floor.

Is it possible to epoxy or JB weld it back together and reuse it or is that not a good idea?

Pac, JB does not handle heat well, it softens..flywheel magnet? I wouldn't but just m.o.

Once broken it will never be the same again. Time for another flywheel, unfortunately.

Yeah, I'd thought I might have read a post about using epoxy to put a magnet together that had snapped, but I wasn't sure.

Was just checking before he had to get a new magnet...

From what he told me, they're the same from the k series all through the Command?

You can epoxy a full magnet back but I’m not so sure about a broken one. Might be best to just find a flywheel

I'm not familiar with this exact application but years ago is glue magnets to make statuses for Air Bearing Spindle motors. I also glued a magnet back into my windshield wiper motor.
Neither motor saw much heat.
