I have done some Reviews in the Past and posted on other sites, so I thought it only right if I posted one on here regarding the Nedz Micro-Rotary. I am unaware which format you guys and gals use on this site, but here goes.Firstly, I would like to state, that I am totally impartial, and not associated with the Builder, or Company in anyway...P.
Nedz Rotary.....I wanted to try one of these http://edsheadtattoo...a416054dffe184c (http://edsheadtattoosupplies.com/index.php?cPath=27&osCsid=4d31a325d746dd9cca416054dffe184c), I was fortunate to be given a Red Medium stroke a while back, the Med stroke is a bit of an all-rounder, but, I mainly use it for Colour work i.e Blending, Shading and B&G.
Basics.. This machine has three Cranks or Piston options, Short stroke, Medium stroke and Long stroke, so this is a very versatile machine. The Pistons control the stroke, so, the Short Stroke gives 2.2mm of throw (Lining,Detailing), the Medium Stroke is 3.5mm (Colour work, Blending etc) and the Long Stroke throw is 5.0mm (Colour Saturation, Packing). Obviously, you can use your style to determine what stroke you use to get the best results.
What do you get..Firstly you need to pick what Piston stroke you want, Short, Med or Long, also included is 5 Colour coded Springs, ranging from Hard to Super-soft, ( these springs are fitted in seconds, and fine tuning is achieved by adjusting the Silver knob on top), with a quality RCA cord and instructions.
Tuning the Machine..Well this is simple, select the Spring you want, do you want it hard hitting (Packing), or nice and soft(B&g), honestly, the Springs are fitted in Seconds, unscrew the Silver Knob, drop in the Spring and adjust, tighten down the Knob to firm up the Spring, Slacken off to reduce tension. The Volts control your CPS, or speed, and the force of Hit/Punch is controlled by the Silver Knob, as simple as that.
Using the Machine..Again very simple, the Machine is well balanced, and is nice and light (130g) but feels solid in the hand, so best of both worlds. The Nipple bar movement is smooth and straight up and down (Linear) just like a Coil Machine, it is worth mentioning that the Nipple bar itself can be moved forward or back to suit, the tube is held nice and firm in the clamp. I started off slowly Shading, with a Medium hit spring, no drama, slight adjustment on the way, and good to go. Any fine tuning can be made as you work (on the fly), Machine movement was nice and fluid, very little skin trauma, client said pain was minimal (However this could be put down to skin area being tattooed, I am not suggesting it is pain free,LOL). Lining was slightly different, I decided to use a 5rl, and sculpt a few lines, rather than pulling a large one. I line slow, so all I had to do was change over the Spring (Honestly 5 secs is all it takes) to a harder one, tighten down to increase the hit, and upped the Volts, took a minute or two to get used to it, but, again, performed without any problems, if you like to line fast, then you may have to slightly change your speed.
Any comments,or questions, please, feel free to ask..P
