So I have been slowly piecing together parts so i can anodize Ti and carbidize so the the wife doesnt get to suspicious...
I got everything hooked up tonight while she is out of town on buisness and carbidized a box knife blade to test out at work for the next couple of weeks to see how well it holds up.
However, the alligator clip hooked up to the carbide tip was really starting to piss me off... after frying the zener diode in my cheap ebay power supply (thats what i get for buying an adjustable power supply from the 70s-80s for 15 dollars), I decided to take apart the dremel to see how to hook up a wire to the shaft like it is on the commercial units. to me it looks like a simple "L" bracket attached to the wire and then fit underneath the shaft should do it, but is this a good enough connection electrically?
or would it be better to try to drill a hole into the shaft and then attempt to solder it direct?
On a side note, any one have a schematic for a gelman 38206 power supply?
