    A really nice design. I like all the versatility you have build into your machine. Well done, grasshopper.

    Nice job, really looks functional and should serve you well. I wish I had the ability to follow through with a project like that I have a tendency to...SQUIRREL...

    Very nice job Dion. Makes me want one even though I have no use for one. Hanging out here is giving me TAD (tool aqusition disorder )

    Well done Dion, that's a terrific piece of kit. I'm looking forward to seeing what you turn out - given your high level metal working skills I know it'll be great!

    Terrific, so far!
    I would consider some type of power cooling for the electronics. They do get very warm. Perhaps a couple PC fans and filters for them with vents for exhaust. Used should be very little cost.

    thanks mate,
    I have a Computer fan & looking at an Air Con filter to help get some air flow, just wanted to get is wired & started to see how it actually works & runs
    also need to fit an external Kill switch, power on & Potentiometer for ease of use.
    thinking of adding an extra pivot joint also as it has a bit of vibration when ramping up to speed, especially when it was heading north of 5000rpm when I stopped it first time
