    I shortened the magnet to make it look better, and not
    stick up as high for cranking the flywheel, using a chop
    saw, bench grinder, and belt sander. Guess that was
    the easy part. Tried to drill a couple of holes in the
    side of the magnet for mounting it to the timer,
    but my drill bits wont touch it.
    What kind of super duper metal was that 1930’s
    magnet made of, and what kind of drill bit do I need?
    Thanks.

    Update- have not researched for a "magic" drill bit for
    the above problem, but did bench test the timer out
    this afternoon. Looks like it’s a "go" so far.
