Hague Tension Mast Holder

I am a machine knitter and I have bought several of these over the past couple of years, for use with vintage knitting machines that often have an inefficient tension unit. I put this holder onto my knitting work bench behind the machine and it will house a modern tension unit. My workbench has a very thick MDF top, so I have replaced the bolts with small screws and it makes a solid attachment. I also have one at the back of my standard - fold up - machine knitting table and that one is fitted with the bolts provided. Either method offers sturdy support for a modern tension rod and unit. Highly recommended!!
