I am looking for suggestions for a Direct Drive with a 4mm to 5mm stroke.. something well desgined.
What would be the best... not looking for a large motor or anything super powerful just something supper smooth for color that seems to have a sweet hit.
Suggestions?
There are a few people who just acquired Roman's new DD. Look out for some reviews once there is some legitimate needle in skin time on those.
that sounds cool ..
however, are there any thoughts on actual time tested machines guys."?
Dan Kubin mini DD all the way.........they are superb.Quote:

I too have an adjustable stroke DD from HM, must have 20+ hrs with it. It's my go to colour machine and is also super smooth shader. I set mine at roughly 3.5mm stroke which is plenty.
how would a HM compare to a dragonfly? or halo?
It wouldn't, it's a different type of animal, one last thing I will add is it is the most versatile rotary design I have in my drawer.
the slide?
The h&m adjustable dd
I love Direct Drives. A machine stripped down to its basics is the way to go for me. I have a Kubin mini DD, just modified with the Nedz adjustable cam. And I recently got an Uncle Roy DD, but not tried it yet (not sure why I mentioned that now??). The Kubin machine is awesome though, cant fault it.
how is that NEDZ adjustable cam working out for u
Worked out great. It Fit the Kubin nice and snug (with a very minor filing of the motor pin, just to get it to sit flush with the front of the machine casing) And it makes the machine so much more adaptable.Quote:
