When we introduced the Standard Floor Loom in 1978, it came in weaving widths of 36" and 42". In 1983, we discontinued the 42" width and introduced a 46" one to replace it. The 46" loom was renamed 45" in 2018, though the loom itself didn't change.
If you're not sure of your loom's weaving width, measure the beater top between the two sides. On a 42" loom, this distance will be about 42".
We no longer make most wood parts for the 42" loom. Look for a nearby woodworker or woodworking guild. Take the part(s) to them for a consultation—it's usually not hard to make replicas.
