Intermediate Web Guide
7 guides
-
Intermediate Web Guide — Edge Guiding — SCU6x
After completing this guide, your web runs with one edge held on target — the guide steers it back the moment it drifts.
-
Intermediate Web Guide — Center Guiding — SCU6x
After completing this guide, your web runs centered between its two edges — the guide holds the center as the edges wander.
