    The Workhorse Irons Rotary

    hi folks. the workhorse irons rotary should be on the street in about a week. it's super light and powerful, with a long 3.5mm stroke. it runs great fast or slow. the tube vise is steel and the body is delrin, so the forward balance is really nice. the hardware is all black, except the contacts and armature post, which are antique brass. i know of 10 of these machines working in the field at this time, and everyone loves them. they work for lining and shading, and different ink viscosities. the machine was designed by soba and myself. it's a tremendous honor to be involved in this project. i should have some on hand in a week also. i will post some photos once soba gives me the go ahead. thanks everyone. --bill

    I got to use this thing yesterday, not enough to really give it a run down, will use it more today. So far I like the kinda coil raw look to it. Pretty loud sounding machine especially with out a needle bar in place, kinda put me off a little, untill I tattooed with it. It tattoos very nicely, the motor seems to kinda back off a little when tattooing compared to my bishop which gave it kinda of a coil like feel. I did feel as if I could control my shading to a very high degree. Ill post more after today I have a large piece Im working on with this thing. So far I like it, it made me wonder what other machines from special technique are like. Would like to use it for black and grey but have to give it back to my buddy tonight. Its a nice machine so far. Ps it is beyond light, which might be its biggest quality so far
