Do you know by any chance what the cuttoff temperature is of your
laminator now? I've got a cheap laminator, but it just doesn't work
that well. I think it's because it just plain doesn't get hot
enough. When I modified it to get hotter though, the heating
element fried. I'm using a fuser now and getting pretty good
results. The laminator would be nice though, as I wouldn't have to
manually feed it like the fuser.

You mentioned casting new gears too. What process did you use for
this? That sounds pretty impressive.

Thanks
Josh
