    Re: SMOKER (OF SORTS) TESTING IN THE HSL
    Is there any reason why fourteen posts under the heading 'My Collection' have been placed in this thread with various titles pertaining to Smokers and Smoke
    Machine
    s. Very confusing and basically removes a number of posts regarding an excellent collection of models that have now been lost in a completely unrelated thread. If there is a legitimate reason for this which I haven't seen, then I apologise. Nerys

It will be series wound rather than shunt - just like the Taycols. So you could make it reverse if you want to fiddle with the electrics by using the Taycol site circuitry adaptations. It would probably have run off 110v AC, with a rheostat providing speed control, though a rheostat would have given you less power as the speed reduced, so the dual-speed brush system may have been an improvement to give you more power at slower speeds. Here is a picture of an original satisfied customer...!

    Re: Short video of the first test of the new vacuum table
    That was just a quick test, - did have about a 5mm spacer on it, but the one I did for the plane had about 30mm. Depends a lot on how thin the material is as well and you have to allow for trimming. .5 mm would have gone around a lot better. You also have to have holes through the plug as well so it pulls around the plug. The CKD furniture company I worked for (largest in the South Pacific) pioneered round edge vinyl covered table tops in NZ using a big German press which they modified. Germans said the thin Vinyl that the company wanted to use would not work,- took them a year of experimenting and proved them wrong.

    Hi DG, I have seen your thread on your CNC
    Machine
    and I have also been looking on utube at DIY CNC
    Machine
    s using old DVD Drives and an Arduino board. I will have to do a lot more research in to it as it is a good way to cut bits out for model making. Martin555.
