Polishing Lexan or Plexiglass
Original poster: "Mark Broker by way of Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>" <mbroker-at-thegeekgroup-dot-org>
After much thinking and internal debate, I decided to make my next TC
primary base out of 1/2" thick Lexan and the primary winding supports out
of 1/4" lexan. The base will be 18" in diameter, there will be 6 radial
supports for the primary winding (about 13 turns of 3/16" copper tubing).
(3.5"x 18" secondary with 28AWG, 12/60 input, sync triggered gap, GeekCap,
FWIW) I'm wondering if there is any way to polish the edges to
reduce/remove machining marks from the Lexan. I have only attempted fire
polishing with a blow torch once, and the results were abysmal. :/
Thanks,
