Roelof,

perhaps it could be the “Heated Oil Bath Break In Technique” or HOBBIT for short?! My profession is Gear Hobbing so lots of hobbit jokes, forgive me.

I have ave only recently found this thread and have really enjoyed reading it from the beginning. Kudos to you for your Engineering and for continuing a complex project and sharing your experience for all of us!

The commercial system reminds me of the old Competition Electronics battery cell matchers in that it’s very expensive for something one racer won’t do very often per year. I expect the people who buy them to make a small business locally to provide service with the equipment.
