    Fantastic! Gaston, you and the crew should rightfully be proud of this one. Honestly with the Edge and Edge X, I cannot see why anyone would choose a Cheyenne at this point. The combination of flexibility (EASILY changeable hit, quickly changeable stroke, and the vice and screw-on attachments built in), ability to properly clean the unit (I've always loved this aspect of being able to remove the motor to be able to even autoclave the body of the Spektra rotaries), and the Hexbolt giving incredibly smooth performance makes this machine one of the most absolutely best cartridge machines I have ever used. I'll be telling friends about this one. Thanks again Gaston!

Does it just have to break in a little or am i doing something wrong???
    The Edge has a 1.5-2mm give travel and there is a reason why (have addressed this on another post)

    Something that could've happened is that if you over torque the knob you could jam up the spring. So I recommend you remove the give knob and run the machine at 15 volts for no more than 5 seconds at a time with drive pin installed. As you are running it push in the drivepin and release . Repeat this a few times and you may want to also add some oil right where the drive bar connects with the slider. (You will need to do this from the vise so remove collet and chuck)

    Once you try this push in the bar to see if you get spring action. If you do. Everything is back to normal. Otherwise get back to us via email at [email protected]

    A short give travel gets you a long away with the EdgeX. The give can only be gauged once cartridge is installed as cartridge internal spring does half of the work when connected to the edge.

    From the no give position turn ONLY up to 1.5 turn no more than that.

    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
