    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)
    • Warranty
