WHY A WISKER DISK

Over 5 million sold throughout the world!

• A simple and effective solution to most dereeling problems

• Prevents wire from waterfalling, ballooning, breaking and tangling (with itself and other wires)

• Works whether spool is in a horizontal or vertical position

• Creates the pretension necessary when using other tensioning equipment

• Provides instant wire control during the quick starts and stops of today’s high speed winding

• Available in a wide variety of standard sizes from 2 1/2” to 12” for light, heavy and extra-heavy wire gauges

• Available custom made to your specifications in sizes from 1 1/2” up to 30”

SPECIFYING A WISKER DISK

Call 800-367-0486 with any questions regarding specifying your Wisker Disk

• The letter and number of the Wisker Disk insert (part inserted between the two metal plates of the Wisker Disk Holder) indicates wisker size and spool size

• The letter L, H or XH (light, heavy or extra-heavy) indicates the diameter of the nylon wisker

• This letter corresponds to the specific range of wire AWG most commonly used with the disk:
  
  L = Light………………………………35 AWG or finer
  
  H = Heavy………………………………...35 – 25 AWG
  
  XH = Extra-heavy……………..…Heavier than 25 AWG
  
  

• Example: An L-06 Wisker Disk would be applicable to 35 or finer AWG on a 6” spool

• Frequently used sizes are stocked for immediate shipment

WISKER DISK HOLDER

This metal holder ensures a long life for your Wisker Disk

• Facilitates placement of the disk on the spool

• Set is held together with a 1/4” knurled screw and a standard 5/8” bushing (larger bushing sets of 1 1/4” and 1 1/2” are available for use with larger spools)

• Custom size disks and holders are also available. Specify the following variables when obtaining a custom disk and holder:

  • Diameters of holders, plates and bushing

  • Size of center hole/paper/filament
