Love the idea of completely stripping out the motor so easily to clean the frame, looks like a really simple easy to use machine....hope I have a few quid lying about when these go into production, well done man, they look awesome :)

Ok I am going to be doing the powder coating myself. Cost will be the cost of the powder.

All i use is rapiers and loved the last model. Im sure i will love this one. But what is the difference between this model and the treasure chest?
There is fewer parts and the drive system is more durable. There are only 3 moving parts in the whole machine. I have done away with the connecting rod and the the wrist pin as well as the screw and bearing. I use a cam follower now and it has the 3 built in strokes like all my machines. The give system is more refined with myself doing all the machining I can get better tolerences than having someone else run my parts and not giving a damn on fit and function. All parts are made by myself except the motors which are the same ones in the Rapier II. This is the Rapier III model.
But all things aside looks really nice machine, and love the powdercoat option!
Not even close. The Rapier III has 3 different give springs and 3 strokes built into the machine. The give system is exactly like the Treasure Chest as well as the crank system. I took all the pluses of all my machines and put into this one.
