    Ok so today I ordered the parts from Granite Devices....totaled around 700 USD. All in all when you compare this to the t500 and the mods I have done to it, really not that crazy and I will sell that when this one is ready to roll and I need to get rid of my g27 as well, and my dfgt pro.

    Im thinking about 1300 USD after all is said and done.

    My apologies I missed that, it was the big picture in the subsequent post where it was mounted that caught my eye, I should have read the thread more closely.

    I just thought of something for cutting the circle and a hole dead center....don't find the center of the circle, find the edge....meaning I will drill the hole, place the center screw, trace the outer edge, cut the circle out then I'll just bevel the lip and use a beveled screw top hold the bidding r extra thought although I can't Even move it already after pounding it on

    Argon needs 24v 1amp

    I use ferrit on every cable just to be sure. I use 6

    Some people dont have any interference and some people like me have if I don't use them.

    That's what I got. Do do you know what 24 to 12 volt I need? I assume 1 amp? Been reading the wiring schematics, little worried but gaining confidence. When I'm done I'm creating a video tutorial in English....if I get it to....When I get it to work

    Its in German...Translate on that page is horrible.

    Are you using the Argon Granite?
    You take any pictures of the wiring internally?
