I've been looking at the Maelstrom for some time and after my DIY stir plate bit the dust I decided to pull the trigger.
While I admit that I havent made a starter on it yet or tested with plain water in a flask, I did turn it on to make sure it at least worked. Stepping up through the speeds, I noticed a fair vibration. At the top speed, it was enough that I might be concerned about the starter vibrating off. That probably wouldn't happen due to the weight of a starter so big I needed to run this thing at full speed but it made me raise an eyebrow.
Does anyone else have a Maelstrom stir plate and if so? Is this vibration normal? I can reach out to Midwest Supplies support but I thought I'd ping the forum first.
