I buy a lot of my thread and bulk spools and put them on the smaller spools for jig trying to use my cordless drill and I put in a 3/16 socket it fits the smaller schools just press on the socket and you can feel the spools fast as you want.

If I had 3-4 colors of thread I used A LOT, where might I get thread in bulk spools like those 2 smaller one's? Would that be Flat Waxed - 210 Denier?
I buy a lot of my bulk spools from Walmart also you can go to a seamstress store or sewing store and buy bulk spools I doubt there will be flat wax but you can get the diameter thread that you want a lot of times I will use a thicker thread that they use for sewing heavy fabric you can get quite a few of them in bulk spools also you can check online and Google you will find plenty of thread all over the place.Quote:

OK, another (probably dumb) question. When looking at "sewing" thread, what does the # mean? Like #33 or #52. For instance, 1 listed as "Bonded #33 Nylon Thread" or another "Blind Stitch Thread #52 (.010)Quote:

Thanks I will stick with my waxed 210. I do have to spool some of my thread on my auto bobbins and Nor has a little fitting for the spools that fits on the drill and the. What ever through the spool I am taking it from and don't dog too fast, but easy to do. However it doesn't hold 100 yards of 210, but I do love the auto bobbin. They are really useful when tying some things. Also though the Nor has no bobbin rest like most vises, they have a post that is for that plus lots of other things that you place like 14" away from the vise.
beside if I want a lot of a color I just get a box of 12 spools and the. They are cheaper when bought from the MFG. Anyone want that much of a color I can save them a good bit on thread.
they do have thread in 2 to 3 colors or more and Rod building thread you can get that from any mail order catalog that handle supplies for Rod building it would be probably a little bit smaller diameter but it is good stuff it is strong just an ideal that I thought of.Quote:
