Changing the location of poles on a neodymium magnet So I have a neodymium magnet. Its a bar. The issue I'm having is the the ends of the bar aren't where north/south are on the magnet, its on the front and back face of the magnet.
Is there a easy way I can move the north/south to the poles of the magnet, as would be expected from a bar magnet.
 A: No - you cannot change the direction of magnetization of neodymium magnets. This is explained in this article. Quoting from that article (my emphasis added)

[...] these powerful magnets are formed with a preferred magnetization direction.  They are either pressed in the presence of a magnetic field, or undergo a second press (called die upsetting) that orients the magnetic domains in one direction.  The magnets are actually magnetized later in the process, long after they are formed.  Once a magnet is made, it can only be magnetized in that “preferred” direction.
You might think about it like a piece of wood, which has a grain running in one direction.

A: You could cut the magnet in many smaller magnets and then stack them on top of each another. However, I'm not sure if you end up with a power, because I guess that neodymmagnets tend to fracture.
A: My understanding is that you can change the poles of weak, lab-made magnets (such as those made of iron nickel alloy or steel) by demagnetizing and applying a strong magnetic field, but not neodymium magnets. For neodymium ones, even if methods exist, it would probably be easier to make new ones.
