Folks that twist to 10% reduction don't really have to worry about tension...just maintain enough till @ -10%.

It seems to me if you want to twist to just before pigtailling or to breakage and then back off... the amount of tension maintained becomes very important.

How do you decide how much to use for your techniques?

Jack, I know you are in the 10% group.

John, I know your manual techique...sort of from the opposite end of someone like me who maintains tension with a drill from the butt end.

Denny, I think yours is spring loaded...before you get to the breaking point do you get pigtailling?

Kaboom, how do you decide what weights to use based on the material?????


For folks that aren't aware here's a reference....
