MARTIN

Made from carbon fiber and 3D printed ABS plastic, the Martin is a Scotch tensioned electric spinning wheel that is optimized for portability. This e-spinner has the same hard-wearing, precision-spinning capabilities our customers have come to expect from the Daedalus lineup, with a twist: everything you need to spin is contained in Martin’s hard-shell plastic case, for the perfect “grab and go” spinning experience--even if you’re just headed from one room to another. Martin is capable of 2,200 RPM but is just as comfortable walking and jogging from 300-900 rpm.

Martin Manual

Right or Left Internal Controls

Martin is now built to have either Right or Left-hand internal controls. Whether you're Left-Handed or Right-Handed you can select to have your Martin built with the controls on the side that is most comfortable for you to use.

Internal or External Speed Controller

Martin has its own internal speed controller, but it can also be used with our existing external Daedalus Soft Start/Stop Controller. This way, you can get spinning on Martin for a lower price than being required to purchase the external controller as well. But even if you have the external speed controller, our testers have found that they enjoy the ability to leave the external controller at home while traveling, to keep things simple.

Optional External Speed Controller

Even though Martin can be used without it, our external Soft Start/Stop Controller is a popular choice. You can adjust the speed at 1% increments as well as program custom slow-start and slow-stop delay times, for fine-tuning that high-speed project with gentle startup and zero-backlash stops. It also acts as a remote foot pedal for starts and stops. The external speed controller must be used with a motor extension cable, sold separately (available in 3 or 6-foot lengths).

Internal Speed Controller RPM

Due to the nature of the analog Internal Speed Controller and their inherit variances, we cannot provide specific RPMs for the Internal Speed Dial’s numbers. If you wish to have precise control of speed, we recommend using one of our External Speed Controllers.

External Speed Controller RPM

The following RPM (rotation per minute) stats were recorded from a Martin that had approximately 20 hours of break-in time (top RPM will increase during break-in, which can be upward of 100 hours). Also, the RPM can vary slightly from one wheel to the next, so please use this as a general guideline.
