Excellent video! Renzetti also produces US made, high-quality fly tieing vices. I have their Master Vice since 1994 with thousands of flies tied with no problems whatsoever. Thinking about their buying their rod lathe and you did a great job demonstrating! Thank you again!
Thanks for the great video. I had the Alps power wrapper. I am thinking of getting the Renzetti. I actually had reversed the track on my Alps so the thread carrier was on the side away from me.
I have always wanted to do custom rod building. I’m not sure why, but the first time I saw someone building custom rods I’ve wanted to do it. I’m a disabled vet and at the VA hospital I used to go to they had a fly tying group that did little group fishing trips. They told me that they occasionally get rod building kits but I could never manage to get one. I couldn’t get out to fish in the areas they went so I figured another person could maybe benefit from the program… still, I wish I could have done the rod building. I just don’t have the money to get the tools and materials.
Thanks a lot for the good words. We put a lot into the Craftsman Lathe so we appreciate when someone enjoys using it so much.
I have a follow up video coming soon. I really appreciate the quality of this, plus it makes rod building more enjoyable.

I was thinking of doing that with mine before I purchased this one.
One other question. Does this motor reverse. I had done a few rods with wraps and epoxy colors.
Not very easy, yet you can change the orientation of the motor.

I don't fly fish, but I just got this set up for 100 bucks at a auction. No better way to start right, dive right in. 😂
Add some rare earth magnets for better and smoother tension adjustment and you’ll be set
How do I do that? Where do the magnets go? I like the way this sounds.
I just got my rod lathe about a month ago soon I’ll be trying it out! Really excited. What position do you keep your belt when wrapping?
I have it on the far left, I believe this is the slowest setting. I have the best overall control with this.
Thank you for the review
Hello
Great content!!!! Notice you have magnets on the big spool attachment, can tell where you got them?
Thanks
I don't have magnets on them.
I have tow of these lather 12 feet top quality nothing come close to lathe
Is this a voice over? My Renzetti is not that quiet
Yes, mine is not that quiet either.
