I was using another brand that came with a power wrapper. The other brand had me so frustrated I was about to give up. I saw the video on the RBS thread carriage, I ordered it and it has taken my game to a hole new level for me. BTW it fits my off brand power wrapper perfectly. As you can tell from the picture, blue and silver are my new favorite colors
i use this on the front of an old pac bay rod lathe. works great, fit right on, rolls easily. good tension on thread. takes a bit of trial and error to get spacers, washers and spring to allow thread to roll off but keep tension. .
Once the eye bolts are polished and the tool marks removed, it's one of the better carriages, since most of the other brands don't have a tension rod. The rod lets you back up one-handed, add a thread, tie a knot, while keeping everything tight.
Overall I like the ability to slide the thread carriage along the rails. I would make a few improvements. First, the eye-bolts should be replaced with something more refined. I find that the thread when loose can slip down in the space where the eye meets the stem of the bolt. Second it would be nice to be able to lock the position of the carriage or at least add some friction so when you are wrapping the carriage is less likely to move. This is especially true when you are at a joint where two base sections meet.
I bought this unit, with the base track about a year ago. The "rollers" attached to the bottom DO NOT fit the base track. They are smaller diameter, allowing the whole unit to flop out of the base channel. At best, it has about 1/2" of up and down play, at worst it pulls completely off. A very poor design.
