Stefan... did you get out of the grumpy side of the bed this morning ?
I have all the machinery needed to make one from scratch, but I prefer
to spend my time making tools that I can't buy mostly ready built.
and if an off the shelf unit will do the job, then I@m up for it ...
re the Texet LM-251
It's not as bad as it sounds,
the laminator drives standard board and tranfer through nicely without
any modification..
Th drive is a neat little synchronous motor with a quick release for jams.
The heating component consists of aluminium extrusions with internal
elements and silicon rollers with a steel shafts. The rollers are the
same colour and look very similar to the ones in my Laser printer.
The case is a simple screw together unit, no nasty plastic tabs to
break off.. !
I will try 160 and see what happens..
If all esle fails, we will have a laminator to use to laminate posters
for lamp posts if the cat gets lost !
