How many times do you wonder "HOW HOT IS IT?".... I am talking about your Spindle or your Cutting cable.
There has been a few posts about the temp of the cut cable housing, using a IR thermometer or the old touch test.
I was thinking a while back that I had ran into temperature sensor labels in my Navy Days and a search of the web didn't find them. I thought sticking them on the cable or spindle would be an indicator of temp. But no such luck....
Then the other day I popped the cover off a Laser from my collection of spare laser parts as I was shipping the old unused lasers back for the core charge. What do I see inside but a temperature label with dots showing the temp. They are non reversible and are used to show improper cooling of the Laser by the Manufacture. The labels were made by Omega.....
So off the the Omega sight I go.... and the new technology has developed a reversible temperature sensing lable..... Check this out....

The 100 to 220 degrees F label might be just the thing to place on your machine.....
$15.00 for 10 but $8.00 for shipping..... Interesting.....
