Introduction
The Phoenix 4.5-inch Tesla Turbine Hot Rotor Kit is designed and manufactured
to the highest standards, using quality 304 stainless for the disks and 18-8
stainless for hardware. Tooling is high speed steel of USA or quality import
origin.
Before we begin, let's review a few basics:
 | Always use protective gear such as safety glasses and ear plugs. |
 | Since stainless steel is a very hard metal, always use low speed on your
machinery, and plenty of oil or coolant on the bit. |
 | And while this kit may be completely finished using hand tools, a small
lathe and drill press make the job easier and yield superior results. |
