Looks like fun except you built it on one of the machines the Chinese copied from me. If you go to my web page scroll to the bottom of the main page and you can see the machine I'm talking about haha! Them dang Chinese will steal anything! I've found 8 machines of mine that they stole.
What kind of motor did you use on this?

I haven't run it yet while tattooing I'm still in the tinkering phase. it looks like it can tattoo pretty good!

also the motor I used was out of a stealth knockoff. waiting to get some better motors for me to play with.

Videos only work if you are embedding them via youtube or another type of host. We dont have a hosting package big enough to personally host videos, sorry.

Do you think the front binding post and spring are necessary?

absolutely not... theres a little change in how the machine runs when playing around with the contact screw but not significant... not sure if i missed out on something?

Love it!!! haha yeah it's almost like if you bend the spring right you can use the contact screw to damper.

No big deal on the copy frame. I have considered ordering one myself since I "inspired" the machine to begin with but then that puts money in the pocket of those who did it...even if it is just a few bucks haha. It's weird but the 8 different "steals" I've seen on my machines are all from about 7 years ago so I wonder if some Chinese company back then had a guy combing the internet for machine builders who are selling a decent amount and just Auto-Cad'ed pictures they found of different machines to copy thinking people will buy them if they have a shape that someone else has bought. Cool idea you have there though. I'm a tinkerer and am currently working on some rotaries myself...all one-offs like I do my machines so I may have to try this idea as well just to see what it does and if I can learn from it.

Its a very thin line between inspiration and stealing you cant come up with something new every time theres not much new under the sun everythings been done before by someone...

Everything has been said, everything hes been done.
If you think it could have been your ideá..steal it!

Exactly!!! But on the machines the Chinese stole of mine I did it first and way better so if I steal it back it will put me backwards a few steps hahaha. I've seen other good builders do some of the stuff I've done but that is totally cool with me cause they usually put some of their mind to it as well and if they come up with a new move from something I did so it advances things and may also spark a new idea for me to grab back and build upon. That in itself is the pure definition of progress and I am all for it.
