Rodbuilders are not the smartest group...if we we we'd be rocket scientists and able to afford to have others build rods for us, lol Re: Thread carriage parts

Billy,
Not necessarily true. I am sure that there are many more than one rocket scientist who builds rods. I think that generally, rod builders are certainly very clever!!! Re: Thread carriage parts

Billy, he asked for a source for (OLD thread carriages) that pigtail guide was not a part of the older Clemens carriages. I have two of them. I also have a new one that is totally different that the originals. The originals had two highly polished steel plates that the thread passed between and tension was applied by two bolts with springs, then went to the spring arm. Re: Thread carriage parts

The plates didn't work out well due to the issue of what happened the instant you put two different diameter threads through them. One thread got all the tension, the others, nearly none.
The original had a grooved nylon roller upon which the thread resided on the tension spring. The improved carriage, arrived at a few years later in the production, featured "pigtails" on both the tension spring and the carriage upright post. This prevented the thread from falling off the tension spring when there was no tension present. Most any machine supply shop will have "pigtails" in the correct size. ....................

Tom mine with the plates has served me well for over 35 years. Why on earth would you wish to run different dia. thread at the same time? I like my old ones much better than the new one I bought from Renzetti a year ago. Re: Thread carriage parts

Out of 8 spools, it's common to have various thread sizes on the machine and unless you want to keep moving threads in and out of the tensioner it doesn't work well. This is why they changed it - so you could tension spools individually.
