This simple device makes stages of the build soooo much easier! Highly recommend.
Excellent product and perfect for the job.
recieved my 590c kit a few weeks ago. Every thing looks really top class. Even the box it comes in is just so cleverly designed. Have not started to build the rod yet as a couple of weeks in hospital has slowed me down a bit. Assembling the kit has given me some thing to really look forward to & am very excited about that. Have read the instruction booklet & after a couple of times every thing is explained in great detail & understandable to me. Keep up the good work guys & I will post again when the rod is finished. Regards Ritchie Bailey.
It's not the most exciting item to review as it's a rod turner and does exactly what you'd imagine, it holds a rod firmly and turns. Having said that it does it well at an inexpensive price which is a good combination.
On unpacking the instrument I was slightly perplexed that there was no instruction leaflet but a quick look at the images on the Swift website showed me how to set it up. I mounted the two stands on a wide board with a groove running along one edge into which I inserted a sliding plate drilled to accept a bobbin nozzle. This made whipping the guides a lot easier. When it was time to apply resin, I removed the top of one and placed the motor in its stead. Because I wanted to do the whole rod rather than one section at a time I set up additional bearers using the cardboard notched panels included in the rod kit but needed to do something different for the top section. This I hung under the main section using rubber bands as a drive, kept in line by pairs of cardboard discs either side. I am delighted with the results and was pleased to be complimented by a master rod builder (who works for the opposition).
