In a message on WeaveTech, Sara von Tresckow said that industrial temple rollers have covers. I think I need to ask AVL about that - those teeth are SHARP!

AVL Temple Roller
Here's a close-up of the AVL roller temple that we installed yesterday. As you can see, it has 3 rings of teeth set at an angle. As the cloth advances, the angle of the teeth pulls the selvedge outward. If needed, I could add 3 more rings of teeth, or rings with different size teeth. I doubt I'll need more rings, but I may investigate the other sizes of available teeth in case there are versions more appropriate than these for fine cloth.

Thanks so much for all of these great pictures of your loom and various loom parts! Such a great resource!!

So your loom has teeth, hooks, knives, and a beater. Better be careful!
Yep. It's dangerous. Even if it weren't for all the sharp instruments, this toy is terribly addictive. The housekeeping around here is gonna suffer :-)
nice toothed gadget. do i see an O there? :)
never mind the housekeeping, leave it for when you get depressed.
After my first few encounters with AVL rotary temple I learned to be very respectful of those sharp little teeth. On the bright side, the rotary temple works like a dream.
Any possibility of mounting the rollers on the underside of the metal bar that supports them? (thus putting the teeth out of scraping range)
I have an AVL40 and the temple rollers, but I've never mounted them thus far.
