New Springer Rotary.. My favorite so far

[Dan Kubin]

I really tried to make this one as streamlined as possible. I think it's my favorite so far.
super light, balanced with the weight to the rear, making it rest at that nice angle. it tattoos very efficiently and smooth.. and it's moderately tunable. - you can make it a bit thumpy or smooth with a twist of a set screw.
hope y'all like it!

hey dan,its mike ray . thats a cool machine. a question on it.....with the spring dampening the stroke, do you get a slight bounce of the machine? jus wondering because of the solid stroke of the machine it seems like it would cause ,hmm, like a rocking motion if you will.i got to get with ya on a machine soon. i jus got to get back to work,lol.

[Dan Kubin]

The coil spring on the bottom controls how much "bounce" it has. That bounce translates into how punchy it is. a little bounce lends to the efficiency of the machine.
-however, it doesn't vibrate in your hand or anything. -I worked the kinks out in that.
-believe me..it did.. I almost gave up on this concept, but after miles of pacing around and hours of tattooing my pant leg, I figured out how to make it work right.

I definitely stand by this machine. I offer a 2 week return policy on it if you don't like what it does. :)

That looks great, Dan. I really like the fact it has a motor wrap with something on it too.

[Joe Hinkle]

so when are they gonna be available?

They're available now. Just PM Dan via this forum and he'll sort you out. I made a new base spring for mine out of a piece of hacksaw blade,it stiffened it up,I prefer it that way.
Dan makes nice machines, just tell him what you want.

[spoonertattoos]

I just ordered one! Can't wait to try it.

[JCarlton]

Such a fan of your beautiful machines. Someday I am going to buy one.

[Dan Kubin]

maybe I could trade you a machine for one of your amazing tattoos, Mr. Carlton!
thanks.

Got Dan.s springer today. Worked all day with it. There is something just a little more raw about a hand made machine. Trying to figure out what exactly it is, the weight, the sound, I dunno, Anyway this design is pretty nuts. The spring is actually a real hacksaw with teeth! Probably not the best for cleaning but a cool touch for the prototype. The Spring Certainly works for the give everyone is talking about.
My feeling so far is that because of the amount of give this particular spring actually has it would be best suited as a soft shader even though it hits hard as hell. Still working that out. I only worked on dark skin clients today so I'll need to see how it heals and try it on some white folks to really see whats what. (between the welting and lack of contrast sometimes its hard to se whats what on darker skin)

Anyway here i something I started today. All the soft shading was done with dan's springer but I used the med stroke neotat for the halo.

So far I'm happy with the purchase. Thanks Dan

Thanks, James.
I tend to hang a bit more needle out for packing and it does great. This particular machine will run quite a bit different with different needle depths (more so than other machines) hanging more out you will really feel the needles working in the skin with the spring effect doing the packing.

that shading looks nice!

Copied the above two posts to the reviews section. Dan needs more people who have owned his machines to tell more then just facebook users they like them. :)
