-Current Status: Transformer released the magic smoke. Need to replace with PWM controller
+Current Status: Original 1-2 A rectifier system replaced with 6A power supply and PWM regulator. Way more power than necessary. Wire gets red hot in a few seconds at 30-50% on the controller.
 A DIY'd hot wire cutter on loan from Steve. Uses a Craftsman router table as its table.
-The power light is non-functional, so unplug after using.
+You'll know if it's still on, as it makes quite a hum when it's getting power. Unplug when not in use.
