Schacht 36" High Castle Standard Floor Loom- 4-Shaft, 4-Now 4-Later, maple

Shown in a 36 8-shaft version here.

The talent of Schacht's wood working engineers is expressed in every maple (and cherry offered on special occasions only) loom they make. The moving parts work smoothly and effortlessly, the stationary parts are steadfast. Warping and threading are simple tasks because the back and breast beams are removable making the shafts readily accessible. Their Standard Floor Loom has a high castle, available with 36 and 45 weaving widths. Both looms function in the same way. The high castle includes a storage tray; you will also appreciate holes drilled in the top of the castle uprights for an extension lamp.

Schacht's Standard High-Castle Floor Looms may be ordered with 8 shafts or in a 4 Now-4 Later• version. The number of shafts you choose will depend on the kind of weaving you intend to do. If you have a keen interest in pattern drafting and weave structures, 8 shafts will allow you to fully develop this interest.

The Schacht Standard Floor Loom has an underslung jack mechanism to raise the shafts. The jacks pivot from two points equidistant from the center and lift the shafts by pushing up on the center point. We employ a parallel lamm system that gives our looms a light treadling action without any adjustment of tie-up cords.

The tie-up system is quick and easy to use. Pre-measured nylon tie-up cords hang from the lamms and are attached to a treadle by sliding the appropriate cords into the treadle slot. This makes changing tie-ups very fast.

Other special features of the Standard Floor Looms include: friction-reducing aluminum shaft channels, a back beam that folds with or without a warp on the loom, removable back and breast beams, and an adjustable open-sided beater. The braking system has a ratchet and dog on the cloth beam and a friction brake on the warp beam to give you precise tension control at all times.

•The 4 Now-4 Later model is an 8-shaft loom shipped with 4 shafts installed and the space to add an additional 4 shafts. You can purchase a kit to add 4 shafts at a later time. These looms are shipped with all the heddles, tie-ups, and other items normally included with an 8-shaft loom.

Delivery Info: At the time of delivery, drivers are only required to offload your freight where the truck is parked. The driver will use a lift-gate to remove your loom from the truck and to the ground only. If you would like any additional service beyond this, you will need to arrange this prior to shipment. Additional charges will apply.
