Re: Wheeler Wilson nos. 1-4 - Tension Pulley
|
Carl; Yes, that is correct for the tension wheel/pulley. Remember the W&W does not have a disc tension where the thread is pulled down inside the discs. On the W&W tension the wheel "Must" turn in order to adjust the tension.? This is why you take a turn around the wheel with the thread. The tension wheel should have a felt disc on either side of it. Adjusting the tension nut then adjusts the amount of pull on the thread needed to turn the wheel. On a few occasions, as with a small slick thread it can take two turns of the thread to turn the wheel, but in most cases one is sufficient.? Miller/TN??

Thanks so much for your message.? I am still fooling around with the restoration of this part, and have a question about the configuration of the interior slot.? From the part that I have, it appears that the the inside surfaces of the right and left disks are beveled slightly.? It also appears that the beveling stops about 0.200" inches in toward the hub, where the two disks physically touch each other and are in solid contact all the way further in to the hub.? Do I have this correct?? Or, in an uncorroded part, does the slot extend all the way down to? the hub?? Thanks in advance.? I am thinking that I may need to machine a new replacement.
