    New Prototype Rotary Machine

    This is a new prototype to be as close to a coil machine with none of the hassle. It has adjustable spring give and a 4-5mm stroke. It weighs 5 ounces and has a bronze armature bar to give it that coil machine bounce. It will be a production machine in the near future. I can custom make one if anyone wants to get one before hand. I am thinking about aluminum and colored lexan for the frame and motor housing for colors. A sandwich effect with the aluminum in the middle and lexan on either side.Cutlass Machine 001.jpg

    Just think what the smaller version will look like in your hand. I'm going to get up with my engineer partner Monday and see how easy it will be to produce. It took me about 16 hours from start to finish.I have a sleave I'm doing in a few. I was getting bummed I had to try it out on myself when it was done. The cool thing is the cost will be reasonable. It cuts lines just like a coil machine and the adjustable give is simple to do. It was fun to make and it got me from in front of the tube for awhile.

    It worked so well and feels like a coil machine and the performance was unreal. I am doing preproductions now if anyone is looking to have one in about a week.

    So whats the cost?

    With the spring.. Can it be changed out to different thickness? What would you say the machine is best suited for? Lining, shading, color?

    I used this machine on a large sleave piece the day I built it. I did the intire outline and did the first session of black and gray with ease. I did the 2nd session Wed. afternoon 5 days later and the black and gray had already pealed. I'd say you can do any type of tattooing with this machine. Springs can be changed and the tension adjustment is long so needle tension will give you all the adjustment to do what you need. Cost is $300 for aluminum and I am working on a production steel frame as well, for later release.

    Here is the aluminum frame I am building for The Cutlass Machine. It weighs in from 5-6 ounces depending on what you get the motor housing made in [aluminum or black delrin]. Turnaround time is 1 week for this machine after we talk and discuss material you want your machine made out of.Chrome Aluminum Cutlass 001.jpg
