Swashdrive Brush??

[OwlsDen]

Tony Oliver posted a video but it doesn't show the machine. Says it will be out in three weeks but doesn't say anything more about it. Anyone have and information? From the video it looks like it uses the swashdrive cart grip. I am wondering if it's a pen style machine as the name Brush implies.

[asA]

Dunno.... but I want one. Hehe.

[throwhammers]

teneile napoli posted a pic of it on instagram. looks pretty compact. i contacted tony and said i want in on the first run :) he said to send him an email if you want to get on the list. then he posted the vid. he said it's all billet and (clearly) cartridge only. I can't wait.

I am very curious

[visualamor]

Just sent an email, I would love to try this, ever since I started using lighter rotaries, I just never wanted to use anything else.

[Noa]

From what I gathered from Tony Oliver, the Brush will be able to work with regular needle as well as cartiges.

[chris-in-cali]

ok....makes sense now...i seen her this weekend at ink and iron....she was using one....absolutley fucking quiet as a mouse
couldnt figure out what the fuck it was.....but makes sense now...she was doing some killer fucking shit with it

[throwhammers]

It's cartridge only (according to the message I got from Tony).
And it should come with a billet grip.
Unless they are making another version for regular needles.

Here is Tony Oliver's own words to me when I asked him again about the versatility of the Brush. I can't wait to try one :) : " It's designed for cartridges and has s disposable grip option. I will try fitting standard needles which will need the bar to be cut to length. Get cartridges, they are fantastic and super easy to change"

[darkness]

normal needles are possible when you cut the needle eye but its a pain to do every needle chang but a option when you dont have the right needlesize as carts

[thesmokingmirror]

From what i gather there will be different configurations for the brush. This is what i received from an inquiry for purchase "We haven't worked out the final prices of the different combinations but will have machines in the next 4 weeks all going well.
I will put you on the list of people to be contacted when I have all the details."

[darkness]

any news ?

[DougHardy]

I emailed them just now to see if there is any more information... hope to hear from them soon.

[darkness]

i have send a mail to but get never any response from them ? on facebook or the other adresses too -all the same ,no reply . I knowing for more of a month he tell me thats need 2 weeks to get it ready and the build it normal and some in titan /steel and after this no info

its nice to see swashdrive to hear on the wishs from tattooers and try to make it possible. The most only wants lots of money and dont make any for it

[Patrick]

That looks badass!

[eduki]

Waooooo I want one! Is it any info about the motor system of the new "brush"?
It looks amazing!

[DougHardy]

Oh lordy lordy... not on their site yet (although a new brushless version of the Gen 8 is!)... where did you get this pic?

[DougHardy]

Wait... what's the make on that needle cartridge?

[DougHardy]

There are a few new videos on their YouTube channel that are showing off the new grip for the brush, and how to change the pushrod.

https://youtu.be/fvTsW20gvis

https://youtu.be/CtqoRs7zZQM

https://youtu.be/tQj5mUacFVw

Also they are supposed to be up any day on the website according their IG account.

I shouldn't be surprised that the grip is new and dedicated to the Brush, I was hoping to try with different grips though haha, ah well. I guess we will have to see if the pushrods have any give options at all, it's only mentioned that there are three lengths for use with different carts.

Doug they said there was going to be diffrent vice options/adapters for diffrent grips

[hellraiser6662]

Looks like the same motor as the flite v2. .

They said they start with a Maxon motor and tweak it with diffrent barrings and custom firmware. So it's the same motor ish as the flite.

[brimstonesix]

Whatever happened to their Slide and cutback Whip? Haven't seen either anywhere.

[asA]

They have a brushless slide machine coming out soon. And they still have their cutback whip on their site.

[DougHardy]

Doug they said there was going to be diffrent vice options/adapters for diffrent grips

Great

[DougHardy]

Aaaaaand it's up for order on the Swashdrive page (along with the new slide machine as well)!

[thesmokingmirror]

Awesome looks badass!

[dmose333]

If anyone gets one please let us know how awesome it is. I want to try one but I am on the fence

[DougHardy]

I ordered one, hopefully within a couple weeks I'll have a report. Unfortunately there are no extra tubes that work with it at the moment (Tony said that the tubes that work with it AND the adapter will be available soon) so I'll only have one tube to go with it, but I couldn't resist getting this asap. I'm wanting to get the new Slider as well, but one thing at a time...

[cyclopstat]

Adapter for Brush!
But for me original grip coming with brush is more nice than any grip! And making a machine shotler and comfortable.

[DougHardy]

Ahhh nice! Yeah I'm hoping that the K-Grips become more available because as glad as I am that there is an adapter I'd like to use the original design grip mostly.

[Renetat2]

To bad the brush only is offered with a 3.5 throw. I need a 4 mm throw.

[Zbel]

That one looks awesome - i wonder if theres any retailers in europe...

[hellraiser6662]

That's the problem with them. They don't have someone who deals with all their products in Europe the odd machine and that's it. You can't get their power supply.

[Zbel]

So it doesnt run with a a critical powersupply either???

[hellraiser6662]

No .. they have a great power supply but know one in Europe supplies it.. shame.

[DougHardy]

Why not just purchase directly from Swash? That's what I do.

[DougHardy]

And I see no reason why it wouldn't run on any power supply since like the Inkjecta it has the governing circuit built into the machine. I love my Spinner supply but I'll test the Brush with a Critical once the machine comes.

[Dameluz]

Hellraiser, if you're talking about the spinner there's actually a spanish supplier that has them, that i know of:
http://www.rufner.es/articulo/transformador-swashdrive-spinner-power-supply-1006000005

and yeah, as far as i'm concerned, and apart from its mounting support, it's a brilliant power supply.

[Dameluz]

As for ordering it from swashdrive directly, Doughardy, i dont know about the US, but i ordered mine from them and in the end had to pay an extra 100€ to get it unblocked at customs in Paris :/

[hellraiser6662]

Yeah import duty is a killer. Unless you get it sent as a gift..

Of course it does. It should run on whatever power supply you use for all your other machines.

[Patrick]

I'm kinda torn. This machine looks absolutely awesome. But with a fixed 3.5mm stroke and no give (I'm assuming) I can't see how it's going to compete with the compact. Except the weight balance, maybe? Looking forward to hearing what those of you who bought one think of them.

[Jesse Phillips]

In America it is cheaper to go directly through swash than a distributer by 50$ to 100$ You get your gear in like 7-10 days too.

[Zbel]

ohh yess import dutys are expensive here in denmark aswell..

[darkness]

when you declare it as gift in germany the customs will appreciate the value ,they use the internet too to get a value. Gifts are only free to a value from 40 usd ( 1x per year and incl. shipping !) the big issue is in germany the customs calculate the value of the item + the shipping value to get the tax ( thats 19% + 3% ) My bad its the brush will only work on carts :(

Same here. I was hoping an adjustable stroke/give... Waiting to hear from Tony about its qualities

[cyclopstat]

Using SD Brush today!
That's a matter no give or adjustable stoke!
This machine really easy and really comfortable for me now!

I buy direct from swashdrive to ireland. Way I avoid duties coming into Ireland is ask swashdrive to send as repair. Still valued at same amount for insurance but is a repair. Have never had to pay any duties doing like this. :)

[Patrick]

Aaaaand the first batch is sold out. That's what I get for hesitating. :(

[DougHardy]

Just received mine in the mail today (right after I finished my tattoo of course). Looking forward to using it later this week! Holy SHIT this thing is tiny!

[Patrick]

Aaaaand, they're back up. Ordered!

[Zbel]

any vids showing it running?? havent seen any...

[Renetat2]

I just received mine, and I am very impressed. It lines really nice! But my biggest complaint is that it's really expensive after all the fees, I paid 682.00 usd after everything was said and done. About week to get to me. I haven't tried it for any thing real large yet. Alittle high on vibration also.

[Zbel]

Just got mine - it really rocks - i really feel it is more powerfull than Cheyenne hawk pen - Really strong built. hell yes!

[Noa]

It Does run with the critical 2

[cyclopstat]

It Does run with the critical 2
Don't worries about it! It can run with every power supply

[Patrick]

I'll admit I had my doubts about this machine. But I can't seem to put it down! The stroke is closer to 4mm and it handles absolutely everything with ease. Lining, shading, blending and packing are all pretty effortless. Makes it a lot easier to just concentrate on work, rather than constantly adjusting your machine. Very small, light and packs a punch.

[hellraiser6662]

I think its the same motor as the flitev2 .. how many volts can it take as i run my flites around 15v with ease every day for hours on end had no probs...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

[Patrick]

I believe it's the same base motor as the Flite, with a few tweaks. I run mine between 11-15v with no issues. And there is a slight start up delay, like the V2.

[hellraiser6662]

Yep ive found nothing wrong with a little start up delay as i run my flites on all the time so it dont get a chance to stop haha.

[Patrick]

Yeah, I run an on/off switch. So it's not noticeable at all.

It a same Flite V2motor. I already seem it.
