Hi Folks,
I'm looking to get a machine with a shorter stroke, that is somewhere around 2.5mm. I know there's a short stroke dragonfly and the mid-stroke neo tatts, but are there any others? Also which machine around this stroke length does everyone prefer. I'm wanting a soft shader which also works well for Black'n'grey. Any help would be appreciated.:cool:

The short stroke Dragonfly is exactly that-2.5mm, I have one and it's superb at B&G. However I appreciate that the Dargonfly is now a very exspensive machine. There are some fine builders on this forum that could make you what you want,just message i.e Dan Kubin,and I'm sure you'll end up with a great machine customised just for you.
check the new bizarre v2 from Stigma , you can switch on stroke lengths

I wish I saw this yesterday before I ordered a neuma hybrid that I've gotta wait 6-8 weeks for :/Quote:

The website says the stroke length is between 3 - 5mm, so it's a little longer than I'm after. No doubt a fantastic machine though.Quote:

I love my mid stroke and short stroke neotat for black and grey, though I also enjoy using my rotaryworks and the occasional swash. Some of those machines have a huge stroke, some not so much. I just adjust the needle throw by moving my tube.
Funny you should mention this. Today I did some B&G using my special technique slingshot, it has a very long stroke,yet I was getting some great results,really smooth no stippling,and you ought to see it pack color.Quote:
