Re: My results with a laminator

  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
