Re: [TCML] Disc Dia.



Just a thought, but if I was machining my disc again, I would cut concentric grooves into the disc between the flying electrodes and the main shaft on both sides. This acts in a similar manner to a corrugated high voltage insulator to prevent surface tracking flashovers. Flashovers have happened to me with a high power coil possibly aggravated by the layer of whitish oxides that cover everything after use.
Probably not relevant for a 15/60 NST though.

For a SRSG, does anyone foresee any problems with disc diameter of 5.22"
and a rotating path diameter of 4.46" ? The disc will have four .25" dia.

Thank you. AT least it's something to talk about.
