Spektra edge x

[rayofthedead]

I left it at the factory stroke yesterday and liked the result. I put it on the shortest stroke today for a black and gray piece and really liked it. It's taking me some time to get used to not being able to adjust the needle hang on the fly without a hawk combo grip. I'm used to a lot of hang on the hawk which has something like a 4mm stroke. I can't hang the needle as much with the stroke turned all the way down. That's me tho, not the machine. I know I'm going to be in love with this machine In a week or so once I've really dialed it in.

- that must be a heck of a needle hang 😜
Here is a tip.
-don't screw the Drive pin all the way and tape it around between the two connectors. That should give you the additional length you are looking for.

Well, I like a lot of hang with my liners and when I switch to a shader cart, it just hangs out too much. With the hawk, I was just used to cranking the grip to adjust it. The more I use the edge with the RPG grip, the more I'm finding a happy medium for both carts.

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely give it a try.

The thunder has a 4mm stroke that cannot be adjusted so if you are "adjusting the stroke on the edge to the 2.8mm" that's where your problem lays. If you would be able to adjust the stroke on the Hawk to 2.8mm you would run through the same issue.

The shorter throw is usually ideal for running your needles with very short hang. Have you try using the machine with the standar 3.5mm or even 4.2? However if you still want to have lots of hang with a short stroke we can customize a drive pin for you simply get in touch with us via email.

Enjoy the machine.

I'm getting used to the short stroke. I did shorten the hang when I dialed down the stroke and I realy like the results. I was just comparing it to my hawk since that's my daily driver. I don't expect it to be a thunder, otherwise I would have just bought another hawk. This machine is awesome and I'm loving the versatility. You did an awesome job and I'm really excited to see the work I create with it in the coming months.
