I hand turn these with the mass to the rim for better balance and longer spin. well balanced and tested
This unique shape is not just stylish but does what a good drop spindle does...spin. The center cutouts not only makes it lighter it puts the majority of the mass to the rim and that's a good thing. Who doesn't want 20 notches?
