DIY PowerPro Installation

[dusty]

Dusty, what I really liked was the ability to press 1350 and start turning the pen blanks, then press 2000 and start sanding and then press 3450 and start applying polishing compound, then press the up arrow to increase the speed from 3450 to 6000 as I buffed out the polish with a dry cloth. Then I just hit stop, no cranking down the speed control like before. Remove finished pens, install new blanks, press 1350, press start and begin the process all over again. I was able to select the same exact speeds for each step of the process for each new pen set without having to crank the speed control up and down each time. I turned and finished 15 pens/letter openers in 2 hours last night. And of course, it's so quiet you have to check to see if the motor is actually on Is it worth $1,400. For me the answer is yes, but it helps to have a little cash sitting in your bank account looking for something to be spent on

GREAT! It is so satisfying to know that the PowerPro is being accepted with so many positive comments.

How about that! A motor designed by a wood lathe manufacturer is a good fit for folks using the ss as a lathe.

All the rest is gravy!:D
