    My top drawer today

    To be fair, I have more machines than this. Maybe too many, but this is what I am using today.



    I'd be happy to answer any questions about any of these.

    How's the difference between the pen and epitat? Especially for lining?

    Well I think the HawkPen has a shorter stroke. 3.5mm vs 4mm, although I could be wrong. The Pen is almost silent and has a lot of torque. So it can push bigger liners than the Epitat. The Pen is really nice with a 7rl where as the Epitat is more for a 3rl or 5rl, even better with mags. Overall the Pen is a little nicer. They both have points as the Epitat almost has a little give, where the Pen has almost none.

    The Swashdrives are a Gen5, two Gen 6s and a Gen 7.

    I like to line with the Thunder for any grouping, but I can line easily with any grouping 7 and under with the Pen. I haven't run anything bigger for a liner in the Pen yet.

    Yeah that machine is most certainly on my want to try list. However, I have to take the wife and kid on vacation this summer so I am not in the buying new machines business unfortunately. I do have a few machines I am trying to trade maybe with luck someone will have a Swashdrive they want to part with.
