    Needle runner

    I just got a sample of needle runners and im liking the idea of them, but there seem so be a little play in the tube, not a tight fit any one else experience this, is a possible solution a piece of tape

    A little play is probably no big deal. Dig around there are multiple threads in here about those with some people complaining they are too tight.

    There was also two generations of needle runner. The early ones where a little bowed of looked a little like a saddle. Dale from rotary works was really big on these with his machines.

    You can also smear a bit of vasoline on them as you load the needle in to tube(after they are clicked in place) to take up space and lube them at the same time...

    the first needle runner(which they still make)work best on tatsoul bars and other ones with skinny bars.The new ones work pretty much on everything else good.

    well i used the needle runner on the direct drive and on the RW all I can say is it did the job didnt even no it was there and worked just as good as rubber band. I dont see myself abandoning rubberbands completely most likely gonna us the needle runners on select machines. also the play in the tube seems to decrease the futher down the tube the runner goes. I liked em
