Tom;
It would help to know what type of thread carrage you have and what size spools? I have a pac bay unit and have no problems fittingthe spools. Re: Medeira Thread and thread carriage

Sorry, I have a clemens lathe with a 4 spool carriage. Oops, just went to the lathe to measure the spool holder on the carriage and figured it out. I have to loosen the rods holding the spool and move them to accept the madeira. Duh...
Thanks Tom Re: Medeira Thread and thread carriage

Steve,
I have a Pac Bay wrapper also, and Madeira thread does not fit on the carriage. It is the R3 W-XL wrapper. My carriage has two horizontal holders, and they are not long enough to allow the spool to fit on and still use the spring. I took my carriage to the show over the weekend and explained the problem to the Pac Bay rep. They did not have a solution. I got some advice was from fellow builder to use the wrapper to respool the thread onto a thread spool that would fit. Haven't tried that yet. Another solution offered was to buy a custom carriage fabricated by Scott Parsons. What Pac Bay carriage do you have? Thanks in advance Bert Nagy Re: Medeira Thread and thread carriage

Maybe I have a have a diferent size spools then you. What I have are 2-1/4" long by about 3/4". Same size as the sulky spools. use them all the time with no problem. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
