Is there a basic rule of thumb for determining the tension on thread while wrapping? Can you make the thread too tight? Re: Thread tension

Yes you can. You need your wraps to be snug, but no more. Best rule of thumb is to try and move/shift the guides into alignment after wrapping. If they move very, very easy - your tension is too light. If they require undue pressure to move - your tension is too tight. .................... Re: Thread tension

Mike : You should be able to move a guide once you have wrapped it on. I just answered this question in another Question. You'll see more info there. I got kind of long winded. And, Yes you can make the thread too tight. Careful careful, practice, practice. Re: Thread tension
