The new machine will be available on the web site later this month.
Attachment 9073
I still offer a 20 percent dicount to forum members and any one that bought a previous version and would like clip cord connectors and I will add them for free.
If anyone is near London around the 21st and 22nd of April I am exhibiting at The Great British Tattoo Convention. I have a large booth with 5 artists working in different styles using my machines.
Just to clarify what are the updates Ed? My apprentice loves her machine and i told her to wait for the updated version before buying a 2nd one.
u can see what the updates are bishop... ed how much are they u.s. dollars?
Slightly shorter frame
New tube vice
New needlebar tensioner
Clip cord connectors
More adjustment on spring to give greater range of tension
Frames have a gloss finish for easier cleaning
Motor starts working at 2.4 volts
Option to upgrade motor to faulhaber 17mm motor.
To forum members 240 pounds or 380 dollars.
Sweet. How much would the upgraded motor cost?
I will have to sort of some prices with Faulhaber but about £60.
Ok Ed cheers. Could make all the difference i think.
Hello, the machines look greats, just wanna know they have sty-up spring ? The needles stop inside the tip or whatever ????
Greets....
I dont use a spring to keep the needle inside the tip in this model but I may introduce it in the next batch.
My 2 cents is there is no need for a stay up spring...all the machines I've tinkered with run better without them. I really dont understand their purpose.
Their purpose is to keep the needle in the tube when the machine stops =]Quote:

A needle hanging out is not just not safe in my opinion, its a hazard.
like incase you're not paying attention?Quote:

I suppose that is true- when setting the machine down, might not notice the needle tipped of something. The needle point microscopically is very delicate, and tattooing someone with a damaged needle isn't good. Course if the needle is in the tube, that can't happen.
i thinks its better to have the spring i personally dont like a whole lot of needle hanging out just so i dont stick myself but thats just me
needles are seriously f dangerous, its easy to forget that, I dont like them hanging out either.
pay attention bro. It's easy to remember.. Needles are dangerous seriously.Quote:

this is sa big problem about some kind of motor, cannot work with STY UP SPRING, becouse not to much power, is very complicate the MOTOR issue on ROTARY MACHINE, that u want a small motor with power, only MAXON and FAULHABER done , other company include MABUCHI that is a good motor they are more bigger when u want have more than 3 watts power....
Define "normal"... Normal coils do NOT always stop inside the tube. Maybe for you but depending on how you run your machines they can have hang. I have a HUGE hang on my liners, as it allows me to see more, and I assure you they do not end up inside the tube on all my machines.
what he means is a coil machine always stops in the up position and if it doesnt u have a broke spring
I don't mind if my Needle stays hanging out when I take my foot off the Gas, I don't Run and Dip, so all I do is Dip the exposed Needle tip in the cap.. I can see both sides of the point, so I will sit on the fence on this one.Needle Stick injury, as has been pointed out, is probably the biggest Potential Hazard..
Or you like your needles with alot of hang and a long strokeQuote:

Does that price include shipping to usa ? Yes i hope :)
This is a 6v motor mabuchi correct ? Is there a 12 volt motor that can fit ? Anyone , Ed

I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?ln0eit
15 years for me here and have yet to stick myself with a needle during the session (I have done it with clean needles will making heads though). Closest call I had was a run over my thumbnail when a girl jumped. Maybe I'm just careful with the tips, but I'm mostly with ASA on this one, for me they usually run better without, and aren't really needed and can put more stress on a motor for no reason other than to be a precaution in case the artist gets careless. I've only got a couple machines with them, one really just for looks, they other is my SantaMaria which came with one and I've henceforth been able to resist tinkering with too much, but it might come out soon. But hey if you feel like you need the stay-up springs then you probably should have em' cause you probably do.
As far as the Nedz I've yet to own one but they as I've often heard are great machines, well designed and well made. I'm not sure why I just never had the lust for one yet, maybe just the appearance is not my cup of tea?
My apprentice loves her Nedz. She's ordered an updated one, looking forward to the feedback about that one. Might be ordering one for myself with the upgraded motor.
