Well said Gaston...I'm actually on the fence right now about buying. I put down the rotaries and went back to coils last year. I'm now finding the need to return to them. My hand(s) are about baked...
On a brand new machine? i doubt very seriously that's the problem...
I think "interesting" pretty much covers it...

Curious...what are you doing your carvings with?
A few things...all of which you may (or should) know if you've done carvings in the past. Unless you have a very high skill level with carving, don't go into it blind. Have a plan of what you want it...
Have you done any carvings prior? If so, post some pics
Totally agree..I had gotten to the point where I rarely used any rounds for shading or even coloring small areas anymore, but the Spektra with a turn out on the give will drop in some serious pigment.
Fuck! I didn't think he'd have them out this soon! Just saw another that I think I might just have to pick up, or a version of...13549Would dig reading your review though!
post a picture?
Seems I need to get in an order for a 3.6mm stroke to try it out. I started with the 3.2mm, which I thought was cool for shading...until I got the 4mm..the difference was amazing. Everyone will have...
Same as above, there's a thread on the Centri vs Halo that was started some time ago. As far as the pros & cons of each machine there's a number of threads on each. I haven't found the need to...
Same here, with the exception of a few antiques (a Cap Coleman, 2 Percy Waters & a Lyle Tuttle) my collection consists of all Aaron Cain's & Aaron Cain carved one offs. I'll tell you something about...
13109I need to take an updated picture to include a pair of Dragonflies I just picked up. Having the Spektras I doubt they'll get much use, but they're fun machines for black & grey so they'll get...
I doubt your post will start any kind of shitstorm, if fact, I believe that if Centri owners had been totally honest in their review(s) of the machine you would have seen more stories like your's...
The answer to your question(s) on which is the better machine is in this quote. Time after time in threads on/about the Spektra you'll see this..."I got one, now I'm buying another..." You just don't...
I've been through the trials with both, I'd have to say that between the two machines the Spektra is far and away the better machine. Overall design, ease of use and most importantly how they apply...
Seems there's been a number of threads that have drifted into the direction that this one has, and I still don't get the argument? Sure, the likes of Paul Booth (and whoever else you'd like to put on...
I did a tattoo on a guy about 5 months ago. Smoked the piece, did a really nice job with it. I had a blast doing it (was a biomech skull, right in line with what I enjoy doing). Worked on the guy for...
Been lining with the Spektra 3.2 and having a blast. It's the first rotary I've used that can keep up with my hand (lining and shading)
Pulled these lines with the 3.2 using a 4L bug pin...The lighter toned lines in the face, blood, bellies, etc., are just that, done in a lighter tone. Had a blast doing it, took me something like an...
Something I found the need to comment on in my review of the Spektra was Gaston's (and FK Irons as a whole) phenomenal customer service. The young lady that you spoke of was most likely Kayleigh. Not...
Just took notice to view count on this thread...26,000 & some change? wow...
The motor bolt is killer, and I've done exactly that (3.2 on both a liner & shader). To be honest I'm just justifying to myself the "need" to buy a few more! lol
