Matt -

Its my young college friend who made masks during the 1st lockdown for care home staff for free. He has already done the prototype for the Stanton but he really needs to add 1mm to the PCD - he can do the others fairly well. He is now also looking at 3d laser printing/engraving which might help if anyone wants some artwork for reels, although I understand there may be some limitations as to what materials the machine can be used on. Want to get the arbors sorted out first. Regarding the program FUSION, do not know what he is using - but I'll tell him, thank you.

As you state the hardest job is getting the right profile especially concerning PCD and pin roller diameter. It took me some time to realise the need for the recess on the Speedia (handle stud protrusion).

Best regards
Peter
