I was thinking of picking one of those up. Is motor that comes in it that bad?..have you tried it with your t-tech's?

yea runs great with the t-techs-the motors that come with them are regulated no matter what volt u put them on-works ok for single needle work-this one i have put in is faster with more torque-6 to 15 volts-those vids were running at 12v the nominal sweetspot! lol I like to push machines hard for testing purposesj ust to show if things fly off are break down.
the frames are very nice thoe. well worth the money.
the built in spring setup works pretty good, will fit up to a 9mag

The brass nut will be a nice touch with the blue. Start a thread in the classifieds :)

I like it. You can go wrong with the price.
Does anyone know if that vice knob is a stock item, I am shopping for one for my machine, but it seems that I will end up machining my own :(
Any cool aluminum knobs let me know!
I just need the knob I can always put a set screw and make the whole knob-nut

i felt that machine ran the best with the t-tech setup(did not show)second bands,then the built in spring then needlerunner(way louder)
They sell a brass one and a stainless one to that looks the same for 3 and 5 dollers - just fair quailty on the brass and aluminum maybe better on the stainless.
The stock one is aluminum and the brass one came in today.Brass is NOT a heavy naval grade.
