Could i without changing the stroke length? I typically use the coil machine i line with for my round shaders. I just bought a dk mini cranker and having him set it up to line with and just messaged him about a DD and another cranker for b&g. If I can cut a machine out there that would be awesome. saving 300$ would let me buy something else fun.
These will be my first rotaries. been using coils since i started.
Thanks!!
i can use my cranker at 4.2mm for everything including b&g, dont be scared of it just adjust your handspeeds and voltages
There is also a video so you can learn how to adjust the stroke.
What sort of lines are we talking about? I have two crankers,one @ 4.5 ,superb for thicker lines and color packing, 3.5 for thinner lines and this will also color well, but in ideal places, side of calf etc. I have one of Dans' mini direct drives coming, can't wait to play with that;).
No problem at all, as said above adjust volts, handspeed and depth to suit yer needle grouping, spesh if using big ass round shaders....And add a "squishy" gromm..http://www.rotarytattoo.com/showthre...ight=dampening I never found the need to adjust stroke...;)
My Crank is a 4.2 and i do all i want with it..this is a killer machine..
I have two minicrankers and I use them to line and color both are set at 4mm I believe. I dont mess with them for black and grey through. I suppose I could but I have other machines that I like more for them.
spooner what do you like for b&g. this cranker is my first rotary purchase
You can do B&G with the cranker, just set it up with a short stroke, i.e 2.5mm.Quote:
