Cherry is a common American wood used extensively for furniture and flooring.  The sapwood is quite light, almost white, while heartwood varies from very light to a fairly deep brown.  Freshly milled cherry is often very light in color and easily mistaken for maple if you don't look closely.  Cherry darkens fairly rapidly when exposed to light, eventually assuming a rich, brown color.  Even fluorescent light is sufficient to cause a color change.  Cherry is the softest and lightest of the hardwoods we use to make miniSpinners.

New features:

  • The toggle switch has been replaced by a button with a bicolor LED to indicate direction, foot switch mode, and error situations,
  • The button turns the miniSpinner on/off with soft-start and -stop,
  • Direction and foot switch mode are saved and restored when you connect power to your miniSpinner; set once and forget it,
  • Better fault detection: High or low input voltage (detects when you use the wrong power supply or voltage setting on your battery), excessive load warning (e.g., too much brake tension), overload, motor stalled, and a few more,
  • Support for an optional LCD display that will show RPM, direction, foot switch mode, percentage of power used (to help you set your brake properly or diagnose excessive drag - usually a dirty WW), and plain-text error displays.
  • The new controller is also slightly more robust than the present one so should be more tolerant of (gentle) face plants that would damage the present controller.

What's included:

  • miniSpinner, complete with flyer and one bobbin
  • 100-240 VAC universal 12 volt power supply
  • Mains power connector for your country
  • Remote/foot switch
  • Orifice threader
