I notice on the height chart the KW in 20,&12 are shorter in height than the SV style.
Using a KW 30 stripper w/ large spool should bring the guide in the low 30" range. I decided to use the KT single foots for the choker and runners. I want to keep the tip section as light as possible and retain the K guide set up. I don't have the guides yet but by pictures there seems to be no frame shank on the single foot to use a locking wrap. Do you feel the lock wrap is necessary? I feel the epoxy finish filled in the back should ramp effect a block to keep from sliding out of windings>
