Different strokes for different fokes. MR03 Design Question

[Nedz]

The MR03 is nearly ready but I have a question about stroke, what stroke would be best and would an optional stroke be required.
I have designed the machine to have just one stoke but it would be possible to change the middle section for a shorter or longer stroke as required. You will be able to adjust the amount needle over hang like the Hawk but would you need to change the stoke.

I like a stroke somewhere between 3.5 - 4.2. Put in my vote for 3.8

And no I wouldn't need a second stroke length w/ a 3.8 , but it's hard to please everyone.

I second the 3.8-4, though I feel the optimal all around best stroke length is 3.925714mm :)

[MickWrath]

3.8 sounds perfect to me as well. Another vote. Mick-

I also keep in that range 3.5-4.2

3.5 stroke all the way.

3.5 sounds good -as longer on those types seem to hit to hard/not as smooth and take a lot of power to run and to short is not enough punch for line or people that like to see their needle etc.

3.5 - 3.8

[Vinoshitto]

I want 1.2.

Make no other stroke lenghts.

Seriously, I just want to take this opportunity to say again that this is the kind of costumer service that show exactly what kind of great guy Ed is!
You make a machine and listen to what customer are looking for before you finalize it.

Keepin it real..!

What a fuck with stroke, is like the wine, many people think are very different but nobopdy understand, i can bet now that u give a 3.5 stroke to anybody on this forum and u say top him that is 5 mm stork, and nobody gonna feel the difference, when u wanna try im ready....

More stroke on rotary make more vibrations, bullshit any stroke more than 3.5 mm......

3.5-3.8, i usually stay at that as well. :) and I'm a little confused as well pawn lol

[S_Trofatter]

if someone cant tell the differance between a 3.5 and a 5 mill stroke then they dont know how to tattoo yet.

[Bishopbyname]

I know i'd know the difference between a 3.5mm and 5mm stroke machine. I have an adjustable direct drive machine and at it's longest stroke (5mm) i find it very difficult to tattoo with smoothly but when i adjust it to around 3.5mm stroke i find it tattoos much better. I can see how someone wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 3.2mm and say 3.8mm stroke with just the naked eye and feel. But a 1.5mm difference is a lot.

[The Limey]

3.5 for me, it does everything and has enough punch for Rhino skin ;)

[Nedz]

Thanks for the input I am going to make it 3.8mm or there abouts.

[e_Bangs]

Can i get a 1 mm stroke with a 3 curve mag long taper!

[MickWrath]

3.8 would be so nice because you have the 3.5 abilities plus that little bit extra for lining. I'm super excited about the MR03

[PAWNJOB]

The length of the stroke might ultimately be dictated by the machine, the same stroke length on a different machine sometimes has a different feel. I think somewhere upward of of 3.5 would be ideal for an all-arounder though, and 3.8 sounds like an excellent starting point! Looking forward to the machine.

P.S. The Pussy Juice got me and my client through my single longest session ever - 11 hrs! About 10:25 hrs of actual tatooing. He only needed it for the last couple few hrs but it really got him through. Thanks again!
