STANDARD FEATURES
Compare closely, many of our standard features are only offered as additional cost items on our competitors machines, if available at all.

• 2-year LIMITED WARRANTY covers drive, electrical components, transmission components & capstan assembly
• Capstan sizes from 20 to 65 inch. All made from through hardened tool steel.

• Full capstan door guard with electrical interlock
• 10% continuous over torque capacity built into the VF drive
• Percent load and hour meter
• Power supply disconnect
• Self storing setscrew gripper chain
• Lift off drawbox (25 to 58 models) Will allow for easier cleaning, and changing of draw lube (Models 25-58)

Capstan Diameters

Another subtle but possibly important difference is our capstan diameters. We make our capstans at true working diameter. If you buy a 20″ machine, the working diameter is 20″, not 19.09″ (5′ circumference our competitor uses). It is true of most of the larger capstans as well. This can make a huge difference when running at the upper limits of a machine or in high alloy material.
