Trolls:

I have a Presto 6N with a Grampian cutterhead. I am beginning the process of finding or fabricating the hardware needed to heat the stylus and vacuum the thread. I would gladly buy these parts if I can find them. Otherwise I would like to see how others have accomplished these fuctions on a 6N. Can anyone help?

I have installed vacumn thread removal systems on several 6N's. I also have made an adapter to attach the wires from the hot stylus to the adapter mounted on the head. I could send you a set of "plans" on how I made it, along with some info on a vac system.
