I need the thing. They say "use cutting fluid", but what about the rollers? Don't the rollers need some heavy duty grease? Or will frequent application of cutting fluid (maybe once per spoke) keep the rollers from wearing on the pins/shafts?
Seems I messed up the cutting heads that came with the original Hozan Spoke Threader. That head was made for 14 and 15gauge spokes. The replacement head is made for only 14gauge spokes. I suppose precision is important, so they aren't making it for two different size spokes anymore.
Must be difficult to make those cutting heads, since it's over $100 and there is no Chinese knockoff of that Japanese product.
