    i have to agree!! If you never used a rotary, why would you try to build one,You have no knowledge of what would make a good rotary for you or others. i'm a lil confused on that one.

    Well, It's because you don't have a basis of how they work in the hand. How they should run or how you would want them to run. I understand wanting to experiment and doing things yourself,thats cool.Nothing like doing it yourself and have a machine you created but without knowing what you like in a rotary machine your jus putting parts together. To me ,I love building things on my own but i also want function with form. Thats why and so? It sounds like you got defensive when theres really no need to be ,if you are? I was just wondering why if there was no experience with them. Usually,you would use something and then try to make it better or then create your own. Good luck with your new build.

    Thankīs, now I understand.
    yes you have reason, but will also buy a neotat or a rapier, this machine is only a expirience, a way of understandig how it really works.
    Thanks

    I think it is pretty cool that you would try putting something together.
    I made my first direct drive rotary before owning one...it was a disaster, but still part of my learning experience.
    Can you show us a pic with it set up with an needle and tube?
    I'm a little confused on how the thing works.

    I normally don't advocate buying chinese crap, but here's a simple idea. Buy two or three of those cheapos off Ebay,different types, then you can take em to bits, play about to your hearts content. Also when you invest in the good machines you'll see why they are good.
