Hello Everyone,
Still very new to winding and so far things are moving forward easily. I have a project to do with a cylinder that has different diameters and tapered sections throughout the length maintaining a constant thickness. Has anyone had success doing similar shapes and if so could you point me in the right direction ??
Thanks !!!

Hi, Has anyone else encountered an error with the delivery head were at a random point in a wind sequence it will just ram the payout eye into the mandrel and drag it along to the end of carriage axis?

I also made this roller with teflon stock. It's kept in place with two aluminum angles with pins as axle so it rolls better.
