    Recommend a high torque non cart rotary.

    So, I've been using a great wave irons direct drive to make dots, ended up switching to a stealth lite (but I hate the fact that its a knock off) so pretty much what I'm looking for is a machine that can make dots, really slow rotation but still packs a punch.

    I've been using Stingrays (both original and X2) for lining (not enough torque, really weak on the lower volts), a welker and bishop for shading.
    RCA is a must please, any ideas?

    Axys rotary has more than enough torque to do anything. Runs slow and low... so good for dots and whips for sure.

    I was just checking them out on Kingpin's website.
    I would prefer a linear machine, I like to use 3's and I hear things about dots being oblong cause of how slow the machines go.

    90% of the dot masters use Roy Richardsons dd.
    Swashdrive compact runs slow and hard too.

    Ah yes, I should look into this! Gotta love the forums,
    So far I have my eyes on the Swash Compact, A rapier III, and now the Sinner.

    i work now around 3 weeks and more with the sinner ,i can say its well build and have a different hit and feel as the other rotarys i have use . And i have try a lot and all great brands. The running very fast and i notice the skin have very less trauma. Great healing . I can use carts when i need and have not to make any extra setup like to remove the spring. Its adjustbale from stroke ,very less to zero vibration and a nice weight with a good balance. I have line with a 14rl easy as with a sidewinder -a bit slower but with very less skin trauma. The Machine runs from 3.5v to 11v with a wide powerrange.
