Yeah you should definitely go for it. I bought one for around that price and so glad I did. The warranty is transferable, and although mine had around a year left, I knew how good SW customer service is, as I had emailed them lots when I was researching the MS200. Even though my warranty is up...

I would second Stringway, I have their MS200 with Single Action clamps and its amazing. The customer service is great too and with a 10 year warranty nothing can go wrong. I doubt you will even need to use the warranty, its solid

Technatic, you appear to know alot about the tool, but I guess it is because you have been using these kind of tools since 85. I bought one of the tools, and it took me I would say 5 rackets before I got 100% used to it. Now i use it as long as the type of racket allows me, as it is so much...

Has anyone bought his most recent reels and alu power sets?

May I ask, why did you buy 2 and then decide not to use them. Surely after the first one you could of made a judgment. How come you dont like the tools?

I saw that SW added an extra comb for their High Density cross stringer so that the HD version can be used for very high density string patterns. Did anybody use the HD tool on HD patterns for Wilson and Head rackets? They offer the set, the comb and the second cross stringer for a special...

I bought a used Stringway, around a year ago and it really is a great machine. The warranty is transferable from seller to buyer, and even if you dont have a receipt, I believe they can tell by the serial number how old your machine is. The customer service at Stringway/Alpha is great, if you...

A bit of a late response, but the old comb was 195mm however the new one will be 3mm shorter each side so the new one is 189mm Has anyone had any problems on any rackets at all?

No i dont know the engineer personally. I just got in contact with Fred. He knows alot and he didnt even need to ask the engineer I dont think about the questions I asked him. He seems to know everything about his machines, not many people do. Did Fred contact you or the engineer?

No problem at all:) Glad they have contacted you because I wouldnt be able to give you too much more info than what I have provided. I have reached my limit on this topic:)

Diredesire I have talked about this in detail with SW and here is some more information: The force transducer that is used is a Mecmesin force gauge that can be used with its internal load cel or with an external load cel which is using the electronics of the unit. The measuring system is a...

I asked SW about their set up, the test set up doesnt seem to be very complicated: SW has a test set up with a digital force transducer to calibrate their elect ron ic units. So on one side it has the tension unit and on the other side the force transducer. The force transducer is...

Reply sent, have you got it?

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from Holiday. I received the document from Stringway, so I assume it is them who has done the testing, although I am not 100% sure.

I need to attatch it,so can you pm me with your email:) Thankyou

Diredesire; I have graphs that show the tension of different tension systems while they pull. The graphs of the lock outs are really bad, because they loose up to 17 lbs of tension after locking. The loss depends on the type of string, polys loose much more than multis. If anybody is...

Yeah both the above posts are very good. I have heard you should wait around 6 seconds, however if you do the above, you should probably have already waited 6 or so seconds before clamping.

No its not, i think the higher end electronic machines are

It is constant pull, you press down the foot pedal to open the jaws, you then lift your foot off the pedal th tension the string

Yeah you dont have to install anything as its not a dropweight. you simply just up the required tension

90 lbs (50kgs)

You dont put the scrap string in the grommet, well i dont anyway. I put it vertically up, in between the frame and the string that blocks the hole, which is normally a tie off string. Then when you release the clamps the scrap piece of string is tight to the fame, and will not fall out unless...

^ Put a scrap piece of string under one of the main strings that blocks the hole, just before tensioning or tying off, whatever that specific string needs. This make is alot easier.

Going over the 1st main is definitely easier, even if you just think about it, your just placing the string in the tool as if the string isnt there. If you want to go under the first main, just move the tool in the direction you are planning to weave, before securing the tool onto the mains.

Yeah, i got an email about the "trimming" of the comb. I can forward it to you if you want, pm/email me wiv your email addy

Yeah pulling the string through the tool saves alot of time, and as you say protects the mains. What strings have you used for the 6 rackets? Any poly or nat gut? Do you use the short channel of the tool for the first 2 crosses and then turn the tool around, or do what i do and hand weave the...

How many rackets have you done? Whats your way of stringing the crosses? Finally:) What verison(s) do you have?

Any more news, has it arrived yet?
