So after months of designing and testing we finally put our Cartridge adaptor project under production.
It was designed to suit most rotaries and coil. Completely ergonomic with a secure grip. Regardless the simple design.
We have two options available. The first one to be release will be the Delrin version follow by aluminum.
The first version will be a chunky 1.25" diameter and a 1" will be available after that.

The grip uses a straight plunger meaning that it doesn't have the little ball at the end like most systems out there.
Instead, it has a brass bushing bearing that allows the rod to glide perfectly straight, reducing play and vibration.
The back stem is made out of Stainless steel. The tube is Clavable!

Tested with most cartridges commonly used.

We were really amazed at the performance of this system with the Spektra Halo. You can really get true give like with Cartridges.

They should be up on the site in about 30 days or so.
As usual 100% USA sweat.

Ladies and Gentleman. "FK Irons Universal Cartridge Tube"

PS: If you want to see some short clips check me out on Vine under "FK Irons"

Update: We just decided to call the grip: FK Irons "RPG" grip.
The idea came from looking like an "Rocket Propelled Grenade"
But Kayleigh managed to bend the acronyms to refer to "Rotary Performance Grip" :p

Oh an aluminum are going to be anodized. In Black and Red I believe.
The tube comes in a nicely packed box with instructions.

In about 30 days or so. They are accumulating hours in hands of some artists of the Pro Team.
We won't release them until we are happy with the results of testing.
I think we are done with adjustments. It's amazing how something so simple can be so complex some times.
Everything seems to be working as expected.

The plunger is a straight needle bar. Plain and simple.

Maybe you could make an armature pin that makes a dirrect connection to the pusher bar? Maybe the pin has a screw that locks the needle bar down or something.. For all the no give guys!

I actually did an Stabilizing Abar (the black delrin part that has the armature pin) that has a set screw at the top where you can lock a straight bar (no hoop)
We may sell it as an alternative.
