Direct Drive ? Linear or Orbital mate. Or is their just a simple Direct Drive ? .

Amoeba Designs just posted some awesome looking biomech Direct Drive Orbital Machines on Instagram.
Old Timer. Well built. Long stroke. CHEAP :)

Hmmm I guess a longer stroke would be better for dotwork? And a heavier machine also sounds like a benefit for dotwork? So far the old timer sounds like the solution :-)
Has anyone tried to use a needle runner or some kind of needle tensioner with a dd yet?
I LOVE my Dan Kubin DD
I have an amoeba designs dd on the way and I will post a review after I get some time with it.
This might be a little late but the HM DD has an adjustable stroke. Would give ya some options to see what works better for you. stroke wise atleast.
