Extra parts required.

It works a treat.Pressure is easily adjusted and the beauty is it still is a manual drill press within seconds too.

I better do some o/t to cover my costs now.🤣😂

I remember those gizmos. They were a mini drill press.

Great idea and conversion.

Cheers mate.I've been meaning to make something for years now and finally got around to it.Just spooled a rod up with it and it worked great.

This is what I've been using just set in the vise, but mine just adds an extra process into the equation.

In my case they get a bit sore when you are spooling up 800m+ braid at 3-5kg tension .....

Thanks mate,I always snoop around the shed and see if i already have something i can use.As long as it does the job properly that's the main thing.

   I have a loooooooong way to go until i need 800m of line.More than likely never.
