&gt; I bought this motor some years ago with the idea
of
&gt; using it for a rotary
&gt; gap. I'm not sure of what my thinking was at the
&gt; time, perhaps extremely
&gt; high break rates, assuming I could fabricate a
disk
&gt; that would not
&gt; disintegrate!
&gt; 

Dave,

My first (and only) RSG is based on a 10,000RPM angle
grinder. It works great! There's nothing intrinsically
wrong with a high break rate ARSG. One fly in the
ointment--are you using NSTs for power? All the list
gurus tell me you can't go asynchronous with neons
because they are too fragile to tolerate the harsh
kicking. Disintegrating disks? No way! If abrasive
grit wheels can tolerate that kind of RPMs, then
there's no reason to expect disk failure. I used four
disks of unclad fiberglass printed circuit board stock
sandwiched together. It appears to be indestructible.
Anyhow, don't dismiss the ARSG out of hand. They can
give excellent performance on par with the sync
rotary.
