Features

Thumb-operated, roller shifting mechanism and exclusive snare-guide automatically guides the moving filament into the V-grooves eliminating breaks and snags.
Front filament loading permits the operator to observe running material, rollers and dial face at all times.
DX2's are individually calibrated for highest accuracy.
NIST calibration available
DX2's hard-coated aluminum, V-grooved rollers are rated for speeds up to 2000 m/min or, optionally, up to 5000 m/min.
Finger Support: We recommend mounting a finger support for higher tension ranges (included)
