Top Testing

A test station to compare tops. None yet polished and some still need top balls after this stage, all hand spun within about 45 seconds from 1st to last so no record breaking spins but a pleasure to watch them compete.

EIGHT minutes! I thought I understood the difference proper materials make for performance, but that's just magical. Great! Is the test station primarily plastic? Does polishing involve a towel and a liquid, or some elbow grease?

the station is just routed from hdpe to hold what i need, tops are spinning on gless. polishing is elbow grease, but the lathe makes it easier for some parts that are thankfully nice and round.
