    Spectra edge x has been my daily driver since I received it a few months ago. Didn't really need to but I felt the need for a second one

    how do you know what stroke your running at?
    are there presets? or do you have to measure somehow?

    The best part of the machine is their is no presets .. Set the stroke to what you want it.. I like a med throw for everything so that's what I go with.. The stroke on a cartridge machine changes the strokes per second and also how the needles enter and exit the skin .. The other variable is speed..it's really nice having the option to choose and find your sweet spot..

    Glad you are enjoying the machine Randy.

    The stroke is adjusted without interchanging parts or taking the stroke module apart.

    The Edge is adjustable from 2.8-4.2mm. All you need to do is to losen the set screw and slide the armature pin. To the right you will increase the stroke. To the left you'll decrease it. The armature pin moved all the way to the right gives you about 4.2, set in the middle 3.5 and set to the left 2.8mm.

    Voila!

    Looks awesome! Can't wait to get one! For those of you that have used it, how does it compare to the Thunder and/or the Stylus, as far as hit, feel, and speed? I know it's fully adjustable, so I guess the comparison would be in the no give, 4.2 stroke length. I get that it is a way better machine for many reasons, just curious.
