Detecting and Dealing With String Clamp Slippage

In one of my previous articles titled, “Upgrading Your Tension Calibrator,” I talked about how your stringing machine is only as good as your tension calibrator.

This video will share how achieving consistency as a stringer is paramount and how your string job is only as good as your machine string clamps!

The Top 4 Guidelines That You Should Consider when Adjusting your String Clamps

1. Gauge – Tighter for thin and looser for thick
2. Tension – Tighter for high (65+) and looser for low
3. String Type – Looser for multifilament and natural gut
4. String Coating – Tighter for slippery strings

COMMENTS:

• At 8:05, I want to clarify that the 1 pound decrease in reference tension applies only to the pre-stretched first four mains.
• At 8:36, I meant to say “add thickness to the clamp,” not “avoid thickness to the clamp.”
