After finding out that the magnet that was working perfectly fine before I mounted it properly had lost its magnetism and I didn't have one the same size I've made mk2 I could of just put the new magnet on the old one but I would no it was a bodge as the new magnet is thicker and smaller than the old one you can see the fit and finish is also a bit nicer than the first

It had lost its magnitism it wouldn't even stick to a pice of steel so I replaced it with a 8mm-6mm neodymium magnetYou shouldn't have welded it on
On a serious note, has it actually lost its magnetism, or does it just trigger the sensor now?
I had a sensor that triggered with the magnet on one way but not with the opposite polarity

And now I have it in use 
It is so that I can still mess around with the CNC control at home to get used to it, change parameters/macros etc until I am ready to do the retrofit and it lets me get the Aluminium box down to the workshop and get it etched and painted.

You may have a long wait because if I can't get the time to get it done in the next week or two this will be taking up my time.

Yes, one of the very latest designed ones, think it is only the second one to come out of the mould.
I believe it is Yamaha 130's going on that one.
I assume for commercial use - do you - or the people using it - claim back the duty on the petrol? Well worth doing.

Aye getting to be quite a few here now, Arbroath has 6 and supposedly at least another 3 considering getting one and then up at Montrose there are 4 and the one above will be the 5th but one of them will be getting sold so if you want I can pass on your address
Edit
Arbroath actually has 7 Cheetahs at the moment.

Yes they are commercial and yes the skippers/owners claim back the duty which is a substantial amount.
Glad to hear it - good luck to anyone who can! Petrol for 45p per litre - who would bother with electric?
