My platen overheated significantly to a point where belts break at the joint. Reason for it is that I pulled the platen cca 2" in front of the idlers to grind lengthwise and get nice plunges. The platen has rounded bottom and upper edge. But the friction was to high so I got only 10-15min before belts snap. To little work and too long of a wait to cool. Started thinking of building a new thick platen out of aluminum and fix rollers up and down but a simple solution caught a thought. Graphite strip. It rocks. Nothing new. Ignored it as I thought it's not important. I changed my mind. Simple solution. Roller thing is going to happen, just no hurry now. Work is good.
