"Uses two etched mylar optical grids" according to the site of the unnamed spinner. :) Slightly lower resolution too, 1000 instead of 1200.
I dunno, it seems so obvious now, but I really think Randy came up with a great design. I'm slightly nervous about trying to holesaw through my overlay, but I'm pretty tempted...
Kremmit:
Exacto the overlay, then holesaw the wood?
No, wait... clamp a piece of scrap wood on top of the CP first, sandwiching the overlay. Holesaw through the sandwich.

You will love them ;)

It's funny. I haven't always got along with you Randy (for largely the same reason there seem to be people in this thread who have a problem with Christian). There was a time, not too long ago, when I intended to actively avoid your products. It has been a long time, though, since I've had any quarrel with you (dunno if this is just because I spend most my time in the EE, P&R and Console forums these days or if things have actually changed). But more importantly, this product looks like it is REALLY REALLY cool. I have very little space available on my CP and was locked into a SS Tornado spinner because of space considerations (and was still not sure I would ultimately have enough room). With these I think I'm almost positive that I could mount two of them.
This might be enough to force me to call the past water under the bridge. Not any time soon, mind you, as I'm dirt poor until at least summer time probably, but I have to at least congratulate you. This is one damned impressive product. Can't wait to hear how it performs.
In unrelated news, I noticed from one of the posts in this thread that there's actually a small chance we'll end up neighbors next fall. Cornell is my first choice for law school. My chances of getting in are low, but I've already applied and have my fingers crossed. Let me know if you have any connections on the admissions board and I'll sign over my soul to you. ;D

That's great news. I had assumed you'd scrapped the idea. :cheers:
