<<I use those 1/4 lb coils with brake today and every piece of wire that comes off forms a nice circle. Please tell me how you set it! I have to admit I'm a bit doubtful...>> you bend the brake arm up until the wire is flexed against the direction of its coil. There is a bit more friction, but the wire will come out a lot closer to straight. I am not sure where those things are now, but if I can find them, I will measure the angle. . Regards, Ed
