Attachment 18156Here's my latest machine the War Hammer. 14,000 rpm Faulhaber motor, 3 built in strokes, no rubber bands needed, weighs 3 ounces. Ideal for T Tech System. No give, designed for a high speed liner that will power any size liner or round grouping. Perfect linera mvement with no radial movement on the needle bar or piston. Email for details on lead time.

I really like the look of this, I just wonder if it's infringing on Stimas beast patent pertaining to the needle bar retention. Seems too close to call without an up close an internal view.
Never seen the Stigma up close to know how it works. This is based on old school rotaries where you cut the loop off. Also mine has 3 built in strokes which no one sells this in any other machine. You have to always buy another cam or motor to attain the different strokes. The drive system is the Rapier 3 turned upside down.
I'm in
do you cut the loop then? or is it like the beast where you leave the loop intact and tighten the screw down to secure the needlebar?
Like it SO much, price ?
Cut the loop off just under it. It keeps everything in a linear. With needle bars being made in China I have found none are the same. In order to make the machine use all needle bars lose the loop. It keeps the liner exactly in the back of the tube with no friction loss in the machine. Cost is $375.00
Ahhhhh!
I like the sound of the needle retention device you have going. good job.
all i can say is I've had a Treasure Chest from Tattooed Pirate and the quality was top notch! I imagine this will be the same. Artisan.
Done before the Stigmas.Quote:

Tony Lynx in the UK made machine that the needle bar needed cutting. stigma wasn't the first by a long shot. Besides Cary ( tattooed pirate ) has been building rotary machines since the ( he can clarify if i am wrong ) 80s, he has more likely made machines with clamp down needles before.Quote:

Maybe we should start a new thread about who borrowed ideas , concepts from who and when.
I love you to Gaston.

Cary did a great job answering questions and concerns and was very professional. Thanks Cary.
Attachment 18225Here is the production model of the War Hammer Rotary. I have done several new things I can't say to the machine. I have added a slight give model if that's what you like. It runs from 4.5 volts all the way to 12 if you want a turbo charged needle. It lines like nobodies business. I was surprised by how quiet and fast it is at low voltages. The 14,000 rpm motor is the heart of this machine. From the way it runs you will be able to line, shade, and color with one machine. I'm building 3 more for myself and putting all my others on the shelf. I use to make all my needles without the loop back in the day. I have lost more machine designs than I can remember. Like all my machines mine have the 3 strokes which nobody else has in there models.
Very exciting. I am gonna have to get one of these.
dam that looks bad ass!It looks like a fine piece of work there and well thought out!!
I think more and more people will go to the eyeless bar and t-tech style grips be it disposable with a cart or metal that is easier to keep clean-its cleaner and more steamline-the eyeloop is a hold over from coils.

So nice
