Bejon A. Boranian Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 ...Been awhile since an update: Let's see what's new: Shown: "Vortaluxe" Late 80s or 1990s style. It's my largest blade at nearly 6". (6" blue shown as comparison, blue is from a Cool Breeze) My "Vortaluxe" blade is highly efficient, extremely quiet and surprisingly powerful. Equipped to accept a 2mm shaft, which puts it's motor voltage range at 1.5-9Volt. If made of metal, 12Volts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
