Homebrew PCBs

Thanks. Yes, I suspect it is there to cool the laminate and keep it
flat while it's cooling. Obviously not necessary for PCBs.

I did have it open already, had to repair it. The gear on the motor
seems to just snap in place and it had slid nearly off the end. I
pushed it back on and put a lump of glue on the end of the shaft to
help it stay in place. I'd closed it up and was prepared to sell it on
another list just as a laminator, and thought to look it up in the
database here first. Boy am I glad I did!

Hey, this was a $100 US buy! I paid only (get ready for this) $3 for
it and a handful of other stuff at a thrift store. They thought it was
a paper shredder.

A request: Could those who listed laminators also add info on how many
times they ran a PCB through for satisfactory results?

I love this list!
