forecast power wrapper

Just acquired my friends forecast power wrapper. Was wondering besides the new ALPS chuck what modifications are reccommended.
My friends said something about the stand rollers sometimes slipping and that there was an adjustment to make but since he hasn't built rods in 5 years
he couldn't remember what it was. I will be calling Baston later when they open but hoping to get some info before that since I am on the east coast.

Thanks,

Dan Grulke

Hi Dan, The new ALPS Chucks are great and would make your builds much more enjoyable. As Justin mentioned above, take the middle stand in your wrapper and turn it the opposite direction as the others. We have the ALPS Chuck in stock if you are interested and would be glad to help you anyway we can.
