is this going to run like the older swashdrives as i notice there is no clip-is there a bearing in the needle mount area? as that had a lot of problems.

[Rotar]

no, we will not use this guide, we just created 2 to test out. we have come up with a different guide. . . only 2pcs built for this... and our next guide would be new. we have to lessen the sound. . . thank you . . .

Inverted swash...interesting. This does look a lot better than the proto posted before.
Nothing for rubber bands/elastics? Not to sure about the vertical RCA, unless one had a right angle cord.

thanks rattydaddy, i havent seen the old proto posted here before. this is made to match with needle runners. i can make a new frame with rubber band stay if its really necessary... the rca on top helps keep the cord away from your work. . . here is the first prototype we made.

My 2cents: don't alienate potential customers. Add something for rubber bands, even if it's a add-on that can be removed if not wanted.

thanks for that good and important thing to consider again rattydaddy. sure thing im gonna add a stay for the rubber band. some frames may have no stay and some may have... thanks again i appreciate a lot. . .

Any chance you'd have a dual (clipchord/rca) version?

[Rotar]

Indio, well, maybe i come up with a dual connection... right now it is optional for RCA and clipcord but i will try to make a way where to position the dual... thanks, great input. . .

for elastics couldnt you almost just dremmel to grooves in the back just above the vise handle? then just double up the one elastic around instead of using 2 elastics? seems like a simple little mod that could be made into another decorative yet practical function almost like those purple predator grips with all the groves to have an elastic close to the needle grouping

[andrewc]

and i gotta say i really dig the look of the proto type too but i like the looks of the more rugged style than the stream line
