i was putting a space found it
What's the stroke length on these machines?
With TAX it will cost 25 Euros more than a ORIGINAL DRAGONFLY !!!! Sorry but who will spend more money for copy with less features then the original ! This concept sounds like a joke !
Maybe with less parts than the dragonfly, there is less to possibly go wrong wtih the machine? The price tag is what is keeping me from getting a dragonfly. I wonder how well this machine will sell...

The only less parts i see is the needle tensioner !Quote:

I think most rotary are going this route with the slider/crank springs setup.
o by the way inkmachines are in stock on tatsoul.
The shorter the connecting rod the more vibration. It seems like no one can come up with their own design. Everybody wants to jump on the bandwagon and try to produce a rotary tattoo machine. I have 2 new designs in the works after the Treasure Chest and none are copies of another. Originality is the object of invention when it comes to designing a new product. I don't mind the competition it only drives me to produce something new. The Cutlass, coming this fall.
I like the idea of yousr cary that you set the machine up a certain way and it stays that way,it is the way to go- just like a coil machine or an artist paintbrush. I think that is the way to go. just like a coil machine-liner, shader and color packer-that is one thing i never liked about rotarys-most builders try to make it one way and make you conform to the machine kind of like useing a coil shader for everything-which most people start out useing then find out the down falls of that-everything looks the same!
I got to play with one of these at the ink and iron fest.
It was nice....so dam light....with the right disposable, it would literally feel like drawing with a pen.
If I had the cash I would have snatched it in a heart beat.
I haven't had a chance to use a dragonfly or similar rotaries, but this martini rotary was fuckin nice.
My coworker got the brass one at ink and iron. I used it once and bought it off him in the middle of my session. Right then and there. Im totally a convert. Ordered a bishop too. Its Rad!
