Glad you liked it ATS, i feel bad i wasnt at the booth when you came by but im glad you ran the machine and liked it...
As for noise ,the most quietest slide is definately the pivot and then followed by the Cush and the pistón makes a bit more noise... Its difficult to adapt tolerances as standard soo you can interchange all the parts...
If we were to "specifically" fit one slide to one machine it could be more tight ...
Also depends in the lube( note those Machines That were setup for "testing" went threw two very Busy shows and a lot of people trying them Out! Jajaja)
But over all the machine is not "loud" at all ...
Thanks again!!!
