I think i read somewhere that they will be carrying the special technique rotary's

[Administrator]

Lucky's had them, maybe WH will pick them up too? They may be building their own, now way to tell until they launch.

i think there made of delrin so very light,jack mosher has been testing them out and rates them as pretty good-may be worth asking him for info .

[fatcashdaddy]

yeah i was watching a youtube video and the guy (I don't know if it was jack mosher) was using a black delrin special technique and said that it would be available through workhorse

[Alie K]

I don't think Specialtechnique was selling delrin to Lucky's. He had mentioned to me that they were lateral machines and I think they were made of metal. I could be wrong though. Maybe he is selling different models to different suppliers?

They are going to be delrin. He says he's waiting on them to make his drive bar.

Ugly Bill / Special technique worked with Workhorse to get a machine going. It has both the Workhorse and Special Technique logos on it. It is a really simplistic, low profile, delrin slingshot style rotary with a carbon fiber a-bar for a slight dampening.
They will be available for $350.
We have one at the shop that I have been using as a liner, and it is pretty legit.
It has a little bit of a buzz to it, but that in a sense adds to it's performance.
Seeing how it is Workhorse Irons, they will have replacement parts available.

as a side note, the one-off machines that Special Technique will start making will be compatible with the replacement parts available through Workhorse Irons.

thanks for the info Dan!

Sounds good !

That looks pretty good from what I can see, the Special Technique influence is definitely visible on the armature bar too.

hi everyone. i will start posting photos of the workhorse irons rotary when soba says it's cool to do so :] the machine was designed by soba and myself. it has a steel tube vise and a delrin body, so the balance is really nice. soba opted for a long stroke, around 3.5mm... so you have some options as far as what needle group you want to use with it. it runs nice from very fast to very slow also. soba blacked out all the parts, even the flywheel, except for the armature peg and the contacts. those are antiqued brass. i expect to see those hitting the street in about 8-10 days. needless to say, i'm super excited. thanks everyone :]

[specialtechnique]

yes, i prefer not to sell the same product through different suppliers. the Tracker style we made for Lucky Supply were beautiful, but very hard to make. the difficulty level made us push those to the back burner. Lucky's made it clear they were only interested in carrying that model from us. thanks...

I have this machine, Bill brought it to me as a prototype. I had never used rotarys before, and this thing is awesome. Thats me in the above video using it. I use it strictly for shading and coloring, havent used it as a liner yet. Its super light weight, louder than the average rotary, and whoops ass, i love it!

[gangstajay]

Mike, please give us a full review when you get it.

[peter clements]

Just been to the Workhorse website-they are no longer in stock, so it didn't take long for those to get snapped up. I must say I really like the look of the machine, great aesthetics. If it were in stock I would've ordered, I'm useless at resisting when all you have to do is make a few clicks and the machine is on it's way.

[Zapp]

F...,i need one !!!!
Looks a bit bulky, would be great to know the weight !

As has been said by "Honkykong" it's super lightweight, being mainly made of Delrin it will be.

[Zapp]

I read the weight is 3.5 oz !
