Loom weight has been reduced to a minimum, but it is sufficiently sturdy to do heavy work. It can be folded front and back to a depth of 14" (4 shaft loom) even if weaving is on the loom. The shed will always be good regardless of the kind of cloth you are making (Double Weave, Bronson, Leno, etc.). It is built with 6 treadles (4 shaft loom) and permits any combination of tie-ups. Equipped with a regular plain beam, a set of rake-like pieces may be added to convert it into a sectional warp beam. The rake-like pieces must be screwed directly onto the beam.
The 4 shaft model comes with regular treadles. For the 8 shaft model, you have the choice of either order the loom with regular treadles or with back hinge treadles. Back hinge treadles make treadling complex patterns easier.
