Wait a moment here.

I have used one successfully.

I stuck a needle onto a rare earth magnet with Super glue. It made it
MUCH easier to hold the needle while I dug the chip out. :-)

So pick up a surplus MRI machine, Ig.

One shouldn't be very hard for -you- to find.

I always head into a machine shop in flop flops and a tie.

Or worse, are powerful. You want a lens (or stereo microscope)
and demagnetized forceps. A magnetic field is likely to
exert torque, and not in a pleasant way.

My usual problem is in/about the fingers, for a foot chip there's
some benefit to a confederate to do the lens+forceps handling.
Got a glass splinter in my foot once, couldn't see it at ALL
and it stayed in a week before I even knew something needed
to be removed...

So, what is NOT powerless against chips stuck on foot? How stuck are the
chips in the foot that you talking about in that personal observation?
To give special mention to rare earth magnets, I can't really see the
eye-opening revelation in your statement. :-)

I eat steaks for iron, chips are cheaper.

I eat fish and chips, and make swarf with my tools!

When I had an MRI, they asked if I worked with metal, grinding etc, they
then took and xray of my eyes. Small metal particles go travelling in the
MRI magnetic field and do nasty things to eyes. Maybe something to keep in
mind!

Or just stay away from machining steel or iron. Or other magnetic
metals. :-)

All seriousness aside, another thing to be aware of before getting
an MRI is the presence of extensive tattoos. Some of the inks have
enough iron in them that a magnet can be used to move a drop of the
ink around on a piece wax paper. That can have some interesting (and
painful) repercussions, especially if the patient has the "tribal"
sort, where large patches are inked solid.
I think the article mentioned heating of the ink enough to cause
burns.
