Hello

[Magnu]

I'm Lewis from Kernow tattoo centre in Cornwall U.K.
Been using rotaries for about 12 years now
Not long treated myself to a Hyper V2 and am finally getting to grips with it as a liner
Look forward to sharing info with other rotary devotees

Cool! Nice to have you!

[slicksteel]

do you use direct drives? if so,some tips with them please!

[Magnu]

Cheers for the welcome folks
Slicksteel I started out with direct drives as that was about all that were available at the time. The first usable one that I had was made by Jet France its main downfall was it was an aluminium frame which was nice and light but tended to fur up once the lacquer had worn off and sieze all the fixing bolts which were steel. So I had an engineer friend make some in stainless I may still have one knocking about somewhere. I'll post some pics if I can find it.
What info would you like about using them?

[slicksteel]

ahh maybe post some tecniques you have found that works great with directdrives over the years for different styles-as most people are afraid to use them.

Ok. Will see what I can come up with. May be a bit fuzzy on all the details tho as it's a long time scince I've used one.
