Longtime MAKE pal Raphaël Assénat wanted to recycle his stash of anti-static bags for component shipping, and built an improvised heat-sealer to do it. It’s just a step-down transformer, some current-limiting resistors, a momentary switch, and a resistance wire made by uncoiling a compression spring. [Thanks, Raphaël!]
Nice project. For anyone interested in store bought heating elements, I like:
http://www.duralite.com/metallic-elements.htm
They supplied the heating elements I wired to an Arduino to make an annealing oven for glass and tool steel. Good support, prices, selection and all that.
For more information about tool steel, visit http://www.simplytoolsteel.com We present tons of information regarding tool steels and their uses.
For those looking to shop curling rod at unbeatable rates, one of the best options would be to shop via Flat Iron Experts – an online beauty care boutique with more than eight years experience in the industry. Liked post a lot.Thanks a lot for sharing.
