I just got a 3/16" piece of tungsten and am going to cut it down to 7" (I
don't know yet how, maybe by a saw and then snapping?), but how much
clearance can I have from the rod to the motor? 1/8"? or would it be better
to go with 1/4"?
Also, concerning syncing the motor with the electrodes. Its an oriental
brand motor at 1800 RPM and I have four electrodes. When testing it under a
flourescent light, the "black lines" are approx. pointing towards the screw
holes on the motor, this is where the electrodes should be, right? Why is this?
I understand how a sync gap works, but am struggling to applying it with
the geometry of the setup I'm planning.
