    Default Bright eyes

    This is not my idea, I copied it from somebody else somewhere.

    I wanted to have more light at the point where the cutter meets the work.

    I saw an idea for using the angel eyes LEDs that are used in some car headlights, and I made a small collar to go round the neck of the spindle and I attached the angel eyes to the collar with double sided tape.

    Angel eyes

    The 100mm refers to the OD of the ring. This particular one has an ID of about 83mm. They vary.

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    Hi Tony
    Well they don't use all that much power, so I just ran another 12v line from one of the two large torroid power supplies that I use. It comes on automatically when I start up the PSU for the Z axis.
