There is virtually NO break in period. Baynes Spinning wheels are ideal for beginners through experienced spinners. I easily spin a thin single from alpaca roving (and yak fluff!) on the slowest whorl. I am currently spinning 50 wpi silk on the 7.5:1 whorl on the regular flyer. This is a great long lasting wheel for an entry level price. Any wheel we sell comes with advice as needed. We are also including machine oil, a stretchy poly band and 4 ounces of practice roving. Complete this kit in the color and finish of your choice at a considerable savings over a finished wheel. Measurements: 16 in. (400mm) diameter wheel, 31 in. (800mm) from floor to orifice 3/8 (10mm) spindle orifice for spinning a large range of fibers from very fine to medium. Yoiur choice of 5.5, 7.5 or 9 and 11:1 whorl ratios Weight Approx. 12 lbs (5.7 kg) 17½" x 15" deep (450mm x 380mm) looking from the top (floor space) Comes with: Four 5 ounce bobbins Scotch Tension - single drvie Double Treadle Integral Lazy Kate One flyer in your choice of 5.5 & 7.5:1 or 9 & 11:1 2 regular stretchy drive bands Wooden handled orifice hook A spares kit which contains seconds on all hardware - a circlip, extra spring, grub screw and other such bits and pieces and also an extra set of hooks. Very clear assembly & operating instructions. GUARANTEE- all parts, materials and workmanship for 2 years. Your completed Baynes wheel is easily transported to guild meetings on the seat of your car secured with a seat belt. The bobbins will not fall off because of a clever special clip holder that firmly holds the bobbins onto the built-in 3 bobbin Lazy Kate rack. The finished machine can be assembled in approximately 30 minutes by reading the easy-to-follow, step by step instructions that are included. This Baynes wheel also comes with operating instructions and our advice as needed. Smooth graphite bearings, which have been developed especially for Baynes, make for long life and smoother quiet spinning. Most of the wheel is made of solid NZ silver beech in Ashburton, New Zealand by the Bebbington family. The wheel rim is made of NZ beech veneered MDF composite for extra stability and the bobbins are MDF as well. Well oiled MDF bobbin shafts spin as well as metal bearings. A unique feature of the Baynes wheel is the patented flyer unit from which the bobbins can be removed and replaced in seconds without disturbing the driving cord/band. The rear flyer support has a lever fitted for easier removal of the 5 oz capacity bobbin. The treadles are placed in the precise position for your feet to work with a smooth heel and toe action, therefore reducing strain on your ankles. This kit offers you durability and quality spinning, and is backed by more than 24 years experience of manufacturing spinning wheels. SHIPPING IS FREE.
