Mine never came with oil, what are you supposed to lube, I thought this machine was self lubricating
The all come with oil. If yours didn't came with oil the shipping guy is getting his ass kicked by me 😁. Just get in touch with Kayleigh at [email protected] and we'll put one in the mail for you.Quote:

Picture a slider as a linear bearing. All bearings require some time of lubrication. For optimal performance.
To lubricate the machine is super easy. Put one drop on each side of the slider and the back, right in between the part that houses the slider. On the Edge X you can simply apply two to three drops right around the GiveKnob area.
Another effective way to lube up the slider is by the vise area. Remove chuck and floating collet, push slider forward and lube the slider through the vise. Apply one drop of oil in each of the three slots you will see on the slider right around the DrivePin.
Voila
Run the machine at 15 volts for about 8 seconds after applying the drops.
Lubrication videos will be available soon as well as online manual.

All original orders were shipped in our Spektra boxes to ensure that the orders were processed as quickly as possible so that you would not have to wait any longer for the machine to arrive as we unfortunately didn't receive the newer boxes until late last week, however all of the other machine features and accessories included with the machine are the same.
If you would like to arrange to receive the newer packaging please feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will be happy to make arrangements with you

The last few rotaries I've used haven't gotten warm and the ones prior that did, started to slow down when they got warm.
And
do you, or will you be making drive bars that are longer? I can't use my Cheyenne flex grip with the shorter drive bars provided. I have a couple RPG grips and a hawk combo grip so it's mit a big deal but I figured I'd ask before I sold the flex grip if it's useless.
Thanks so much for being so involved in the forum after your product launch. I'm incredibly happy with my purchase.
Hey there. 10.5 is in the higher end but def safe. You can run this machine as high as 14 volts but no human skin will sustain the trauma. 😊 The warmth you are experiencing comes in fact from the big bearing of the hex drive mechanism. This bearing is absorbing axial load (protecting your motor and reducing vibration) so at higher speed rotation, the ball bearing balls can produce minimal warmth due to friction. The fact that the body of machine and motor housing are crafted from aluminum (a common material for heat dissipation purposes) will result in heat dissipation.Quote:

Regarding the DriveBars being a bit shorted for flex grips. Well we made sure they worked with most grips ours and adjustable hawk. What you can do to compensate that difference is to unscrew the drive pin a bit to compensate for that difference and out a loop of take around.
You can also get longer drive pins from us. We make them upon request.

Awesome! Thank you so much for that explanation. I will play with the drive bar and see if it works.
One last question for anybody that might have some insight. Any tips on how to wrap this bad boy so the bag/clip cord sleeve doesn't hit the give knob and make all that noise?
Try getting bigger bags.hard yo find from tattoo suppliers. Check www.uline.com .they have different sizes and thicknesses on rolls. I'm thinking a little.stiffer bag stock (3mil ?) In a 3 in bag (or poly tubing) might be the ticket.
