Hi Jon,
Thanks for considering the CRB Rod Building System (RBS). The support stands, rod dryer and soon to be release rod wrapper all use the same stands and are all designed so the mounting of the dryer and power wrapper motors are aligned center line of a blank with the V in the support stands. This provides a straight center line of the blank. Only on blanks with extreme tapers are you going have to adjust the height of the support stands to keep the epoxy from accumulating on one end, in our testing less than 10% of the blanks (large saltwater). If this is the case you can simply raise the support stand with a few papers or pennies as stated above. (David said the same thing above.)
The beauty of the CRB RBS is the 1) simplicity, 2) affordability, 3) flexibility, 4) ability to grow the system as you grow as a rod builder (start with a the HWS-1 hand wrapper, add the metal base, add a dryer, add a power head, add spine finder (static deflection tool also), add an epoxy mixer, add tool trays, etc - once you have the metal base how you mount the different tools in up to you.). We are going to be coming out with a video that highlights the flexibility of this RBS system so you can better understand how the system works.
In the past customers would spend $90 on a wooden hand wrapper only to find it had a lot of limitations 1) plate thread tension which played heck with metallic thread, 2) un-movable supports which knock off guides, 3) no constant thread tension so you can not reverse to fix cross threads, 4) a thread feed slider which binds, 5) velcro blank holders that don't provide tension to the blank and need adjustment, 6) a wrapper that does not break down for easy storage, etc, etc. All of these items and more improvements are addressed with the CRB Hand Wrapping System (HWS-1) at less than half the price.
In the past a customer would out grow the limitations of a wooden hand wrapper and have to set it aside (or toss it out) and spend $300 on a power wrapper and have to learn a new wrapping technique to go with the new power wrapper (total spent about $400). Now with the CRB RBS the customer can just add to the HWS system they already have by purchasing a metal base, power head (and/or dryer) if they want for less than $200 additional - AND use the same wrapping technique they started with. If the customer wants they can add the spine finder (static deflection) tool, tool trays, magnifier/light, epoxy mixer - all mountable on the metal base. The key is the metal base - all these tools are designed to mount onto the metal base with a sliding T-Bolt and symmetrical mounting channels - but many of the tools can also just be used on any flat surface. This provides great flexibility and almost endless mounting configurations.
Think of the CRB Rod Building System as the "Shop Smith" System for rod builders. A great & well thought out entry/beginner hand wrapper which can grow with you as your grow your rod building skills (and save you money too).
