Here is something I added to my power wrapper to help keep track where to install trim wraps, especially on the longer butt wraps. I found it on @#$%& $14

Had to trim the bracket to get clearence to add it on the drier motor screw... that was the toughest part, and that wasnt tough at all:)
A little twofaced carpet tape on the magnet and your counting....

Jim,
Thanks for the post and the link.
I have received my counter, but unfortunately I have received a defective counter.
Hopefully, the supplier will send me a replacement soon.

Sorry to hear that Roger. Mine came powered up and ready to go. Luckly I can read the Japaneese instructions....NOT!! Little bracket modification, taped the magnet to the pulley and was counting em off. One thing I did, I have my chucked marked every 90 dgrees. I always use the same line for "0" degrees. I set the magnet at about 10 degrees in advance of the mark reaching "0" degrees since the magnet has to pass the pick up somewhat before it counts a turn. That way it just adds another count as the mark hits top dead center,
