The New Spektra Edge...is Here!

Sorry I took this long to reply. We are working on a different system of disposable "DrivePins" that will be available soon and you'll be able to use in the Edge. They will come in packages pre sterile. We have not forgot that aspect. We just don't want to delay the launch any longer as there are many people successfully sanitizing their bars with cold sterilization methods.

It is actually a pin that goes over the drive bar. Like a sleeve.

Now...If ink caps will be pre packed and sterile and self adherent. this would be a home run. Or perhaps we are working in that too ;)

Happy happy !!!!

That's good news

Looks like a hybrid ripoff of the direkt with the edge vise.

I'd gladly pay 30% more for the real thing.

And these guys are in the USA. Thats BS!

I saw this as well on facebook.would love to hear either side weigh in....

who cares, its the way every thing is going, there is bound to be others going down this same road, with the advent of adaptors and such people have been looking to achieve this very thing. gaston has been working on this design since 2012 im sure all his patents are in order, the good thing is that they are in the us, because patent laws do matter here. heres the edge, they can jump off of it, lol.

Really.. this whole copy of a copy of a machine has been beaten to death... all these machines have ALL their ideas borrowed. Why do we still wanna argue over who is copying who? Nothing new here.

I agree this should just stay a thread dedicated to the edge

Sorry for being off topic still and this isn't a bash but wasn't the first vise system like this on the neuma years ago? Obviously not compatible with the hawk grip but the crush system for standard tubes.

I agree with Asa that all idea at this point are borrowed upon to a point. While I am sure there are improvements along the way each time it is hard to be 100% when everything has been done really.

nice work as always Gaston!

When will you be selling the Edge bodies separately?

---

Heads up, they changed the site, you now can order the machine bodies separately and I did! black edge x body otw ftw

for those that have concerns over the cartridge bar, is there not a simple solution of some sort of slip on condom style barrier to keep it covered inside the grip?

hey gaston does the se-x maintain zero give when locked down all the way, or is there a difference between the se-x and the no give version? can you achieve absolute no give with the se-x?

I spent about a half an hour on the phone with gaston yesterday and when locked down the x has zero give. He simply made the edge for the people that know they like no give on a rotary was his explanation. He said he is making one machine that has all the options packed in. Said coil machines have had give for 100 years and he thinks people should have the option. And in his opinion he said this give system is the closest give to a coil you could have.

This is what Gaston was talking about.

thanks sacredsouls. that's what I wanted to know. I presently use no give systems, but im not one of those kats that limit my options if at all possible. never know if I might want to switch shit up lol. so pry going with the X!

We appreciate the support form everyone but let's leave the Internet machine drama out :) we will always address all our personal company's matters privately. Back to the topic. The EdgeX takes you from no give to full give and there is more than a spring involved to achieve this accurately. If you don't care about give, then save yourself $50 and get the Edge. Although it's pretty cool to go from no give on the fly. Can't wait to tattoo my sister this week.
I'll try to do a narrated video with close up and show where this machine shines at.

I posted a few videos on Instagram. Things have been hectic but we are planning on making several professional videos to show all the features and scenarios.

One image is worth 1000 words so imagine a bunch of frames per second!😜

T tech uses the plunger with the ball so if you have a t tech bar, you can remove the ball from it and put it on our bar. Voila!

I would say in about 2-3 months.
I'm Posting some rendering soon on how the bar will work.

Put my order in yesterday, I'm excited to take this for a go.

I hope mine ships soon! Sold two of my machines to make room for the SE X lol.

UPDATE: We are happy to announce that the New Spektra Edge will ship out with Removable "DrivePin" for proper sanitation. Blister packed Disposable DrivePins will be available soon as well. Here are some of the renderings and I should have production pictures by tomorrow or so.
This entailed that we redesigned three parts on the machine that were already done but we thought this would make this machine even safer.

This should not affect the estimated delivery deadline of 2 weeks after placing the order.

Glad to hear bud!

the machine sound and function the same? did this change function in bar stabilization at all? just curious. I understand you giving the customers what they want bravo for that. its just hard for me to fathom how making the bar removable actually changes anything. if "bio spray indeed travels up the shaft whats the difference in three inches? this is not a knock to fki at all in fact think the macine was already perfect, I think this machine is genius, I just think that it sucks that you had to go in and redesign something you had already put so much thought into. just my opinion. in any event cant wait to get one, really excited about this machine. I have not been this excited in a long time about a new product, straight hit this one out of the park, hats off, gaston :-)

just so you know, I think its cool that gaston made this an option, im not bitching or anything, every continued step in the right direction towards total sterility is a +.

Renovable bar was always the way we were gonna do this but we wanted to have the disposable DrivePins at the same time. So we figure we release it as is. The disposable "DrivePin" was going to plunge right over the current bar but you would have to trim it a bit making it a two part component.

Instead, we decided to waive any inconvenience to the artist and ship the machine with a screw on version so there is no need to molest the machine at all. When the disposable DrivePin becomes available you will just exchange your cleavable DrivePin for a disposable. Voila!

This was possible thanks to the team that have been pushing this project since day one and the fact that we manufacture all components in house. Otherwise we would have been out of luck trying to deliver in a timely manner.

I hope you all enjoy this machine. Far from perfect but we did our best to push it as far as we could.

One thing for sure is that we listen.
