Custom-Made Stringing Machine Parts

what material is used?

[Pete LSD]

Yeah, get a quote on forged stainless steel .

[Mark A]

Quote was for forged aluminium body with stainless steel pins loctited in. Doesn't need to be spectacular, does it. I'll have to investigate plastic padding, or else people can pad their own out ad lib.

Any particular reason not to choose ally?

Hello,
Looking on your technical pictures I've decided to make this elements myself using normal steel and simple tools like drill, grinder, welder. The result you can see below. Thermo-shring tubes protect the frame. The supports are quite tough at the moment, so in the future I'm going to paint it.













Stringing process is really easier now. Thanks for nice idea

Cheers,
Michal

I'm not sure how to proceed now, as shipping to me from USA would be monstrous for the quoted quantity of 100. I'm thinking of selling the drawings/CAD model on to a willing party in US who can then order and distribute as required, or else taking a percentage cut from each sale - it is, after all, my intellectual property.

Any ideas, people?

Get dink to like it, and market it under the DC Badminton brand!
Or maybe this gives you a reason to come visit the sunny side of the world ^_^

Yes, but only for first main strings. It's easier to start when you have some kind of fixed clamps, even tennis clamps. Later flying clamps (pro's pro too) are more comfortable and faster in use. And of course is unpossible to use tennis clamps for cross badminton strings.

[maa2003]

thanks boss, I have all you've mentioned .....
but I prefer Yonex flying clamp for the cross and Hiqua flying clamp for the main.
Pro's Pro flying clamp is similar to Alpha ones or AEF flying clamp, a bit loose compare to Hiqua (at least from my experiences).

so meaning, you do not have badminton fixed-clamp, right ?

Right. Fixed tennis clamps (for 2-3 strings of the main) and flying badminton clamps (for the rest of main and all of the crosses). I can compare them (P'sP) to Victor flying clamps only. Pro's Pro are wider (better holding tension) and much easier to put on to the strings.

Hey Mark,

I would be interested in some of those badminton specific supports Do update me if anything happens.

On a side note, where do we get fixed badminton clamps? I've got a Gamma Progression 2

[maa2003]

[Luka89]

Mark A, whats the status of your process producing etc. the supports?

I have 2 Yonex flying clamp, and 2 HiQua flying clamp.

You can see the video where Dink strings his Ultra at 41lbs.
When he did the main, he used HiQua
When he did the cross, he used Yonex

[adonis]
