I did this to. More disappointing results. Still have a rotor with the 'speaker' magnets in it.  Read a post about it and even with a good neo ring mag you wouldn't get much flux power at the fingers.  Think it was a post or comment by Ed@windstuff.

If you drill into the fingers and "inset" the magnets, the field shorts out through the steel around the sides of the magnet..  The magnets must sit above the steel, not in it.

Yes I think so.
Aluminum does not conduct flux the way steel does. He still has the steel under the mags though to conduct the flux where it is needed. If you drilled all the way through the fingers you would be getting the worst of both worlds, flux robbed/shorted by the steel at the sides and no steel under the mags where it is needed.
.
nothing to lose

Spelin and tpying are my strong points, not electronics.
