    I watched the vid and it looks to run real smooth.
    The Gauss meter seems to be a nice touch.
    There appears to be no dealer price break?
    One price fits all?

      It does look solid and smooth but I don't know, $500 always seems like a ton of money to pay for a hand guided winder. I think the CNCDudez unit provides a whole lot more for the extra $400 relatively speaking.

        Well it looks a step up from the Shatten.

          Unlike flatwork, magnet and wire purchases, when it comes to "one off" once in a decade hardware type purchases like this, we're pretty much all basically end user consumers. Dealer pricing for this type of product would be if you were a national distributor.

              Oh I hear you on that. New winder pricing is not for the faint of heart!

                  T,

                  Let us know how you like it when it arrives. Seems like a good quality hand guided machine.

                  I did see quantity pricing on the site yesterday.

                  Keep Winding...Keep Playing!!!

                    I will critique it when I get it, after I put it through its paces a while.
                    I really need it, my work has really picked up.
                    I need to get faster.
                    I did get some initial info on it.
                    It has no belts and is some form of direct or gear driven winder.
                    So that should be good, and is the same design that David Shepherd used in a prototype for a year.
                    It has a 24 volt motor, and is supposed to be a low, or no maitenance affair.
                    I was assured that it had no wobble or run out, I've wound enough crooked pickups in my 5+ years of winding.
                    That is about all I know about it right now.
                    It should be here by tues, or Weds. So I will let you know.
                    I hope it has a low learning curve, because I have pickups I need to get built with it.

                        But doesn't the crooked bobbin give it amazing tonal intricacies and touch sensitive feel ?!?! :P
                        Thanks, Nathan.

                          Should be here tomorrow!
                          I have 3 A3 Strat Pickups ready to wind.

                            Yes, but it's still twisted.

                              I can't tell much tonal quality difference, between straight or crooked?

                              Just Kidding!
