I’d worry magnets might attract iron filings.

I think it's dry because you specifically chose high strength concrete. Less water = more strength, generally speaking.

e: wait, is 4000 psi actually "high stength concrete". maybe they just call it high strength because, hey, it's concrete, and concrete's pretty strong, right?

What kind of steel did you use? Is it going to get some kind of surface finish?

Meshes get expensive fast at Sendcutsend. Besides the linear cut length, I think each pierce is pretty slow.

I remember measuring my fingers with calipers to determine the maximum grid size I could get away with.

If you can, avoid cuts that don't go all the way through. Then look up Send Cut Send and either use their service, or just get your designs into a format that would work with their service, and you'll be in a good position to adapt to any local company you find.

SendCutSend has MDF in 12mm and 6.35mm (among other thicknesses). Glue 'em together and you have your 3/4" MDF with 1/4" deep slots.

(I am not a woodworker and I don't know how well this would work in practice)

e: or 1/4" MDF on 1/2" baltic birch
