If anyone has a pac bay power wrapper, could they drop me a line so that I could obtain some measurements on the base of the wrapper.

Basically, I am looking for the width of the opening at the top of the base on which the rod rests rest.

My understanding is that the inside width of the channel itself is 3 13/16th of an inch.

It appears, that the width of the opening of the base is about 2 3/16th inches. However, I would like an exact measurement of the width and not a guess.

Thanks very much for your help.

Roger, I used my calipers to measure. Top of the bed id is 2.040 and the bottom is 3.825. Hope this helps Vic

Victor,
Thanks very much. It was the number that I was expecting. Thanks for confirming the numbers.

Roger,
Just to confirm, I measure my assembled 2 section 8' bed in different places and get anywhere from 2.046 to 2.058. Someone gave me a Pac Bay power wrapper this week that is made in 3 sections and I measured one of those sections, unassembled, it came out to 2.062 on one end, and 2.056 on the other.
I too was using calipers.

Greg,
Thanks much for the update.

Thanks for the help.
I completed the base for the accessory that I was making and shipped it this morning.

Roger , from one rod builder to another that owns a pack bay wrapper. You wouldn't mind sharing what you were making ,would you ?

Donald,
I am building a DC powered reversible power head. This is a DC gear motor with a power supply and foot pedal that also has a reversing switch to be able to back up the motor at will.
The speed of the motor will be a maximum of 500 rpm for this particular client. The motor and head stock will use 1:1 pulleys so that the head stock speed will vary from 0-500 rpm in either direction.

Be safe

Maybe if you ask nicely he might design one!
