Extra parts needed for Klippermate stringing badminton racquets?

[ChimpChimp]

I know they sell a half weight. I'm still checking how to tension as low as 22 lbs with the tennis weight, since the weight'll be very close to the joint and in the way the string goes. Probably need to start tensioning by the rod being at far right.

But do frame plates and flying clamps for tennis racquets work well on badminton racquets?

Can‘t the weight be divided into 2 sections. Look on the end of the weight there should be an Allen screw holding the 2 weights together.

@Irvin, unless my memory is serving me incorrectly, unlike Gammas etc. that is not a feature on the Klippermate.

@loosegroove Could be never use a KM

Headsizes for badminton frames are a lot smaller than tennis frames. I do not believe that the frames will interfere with the weight even if it is close to the hinge pivot. I would just start with the bar down and only move it up when you are ready to tension the string. The weight is too close to the KM hinge. FWIW, if you have a calibrator scale or luggage scale, you could go below 20#. Or as Irvin says, buy a 1/2 weight.

Also when string a badminton frame on a KM I’m not sure (again) but I think I recall seeing a video where to top supports at 6 and 12 were turned 180 degrees so the outer portion of the support was farther from the crosses. This will help clamping those top and bottom strings.

Are you planning to use the same KM tennis flying clamps for Badminton racket?
This can be bigger issue.

The weight can be divided into two in Gamma but not in KM.

Yes, what is the issue?

I was thinking if the thickness of clamp head would be an issue, but it is not. I just tried, you should be fine.
