Rotary Works rubber bands

[Zulu]

I love my Rotary Works but they constantly break rubber bands while tattooing; anyone found a fix around this problem...I'm going through a hell of a lot of rubber bands!:mad:

I've been using home made needle tensioners on all my machines including my RW and they work great

It's crazy how many uses that needlebars have besides a bong stem poker. I used one once to replace a broken throttle linkage on a Toyota truck...

[peter clements]

The other thing I see is a crafty little return mechanism on the Cranker, color matched too ( Sage the innovator! ) ;).

[skinmech]

Necessity is the mother of all invention..

[Sage Oz]

The return spring worked well but I scrapped it as it wasn't really needed and I was(unnecessarily) worried it might make it not run as smooth...

if you set up your rw like that your rubberbands aint gonna break anymore!

[skinmech]

I have twisted the bands so you can see them better, I usually only use one, but this usually works...98079808

My God I love those home made tensioners! what is the spool that the needle bar runs along?

[Sage Oz]

I make the spools with two spaced bearings and they have a rubber 'tire' with a groove that the needle runs in. Due to popular demand, lol, I have them for sale now just look up my thread 'needlebar tensioners' or send me a PM
Thanks

Thanks! This has stopped the rubber bands from breaking. I'm still gonna buy some of those fancy tensioners!

You could use needlerunners-the latest ones work great and are cleaner then bands.
