Just Arrived. HM Rotaries to FK Irons

[peter clements]

Reminds me of the machine jcarlson is building.

Joshua's machine will be better,and a better price.

Machine runs really smooth and is the only machine I ever dare to carry on the site. Warranty wil be dealt here in the states, the price is pretty good. The machine construction is really solid.
The rubber band snapping problem was solved. Now the shaft comes rounded so they rubber bands stay on.
A few of them left.

as far as speed, I don't know exactly the rpm but around 6-7volts depending what I want to do.
The stroke is about 3.5mm if I do a black and grey piece i hide the needle where what I get off the tube is about 1-1.5mm.
For lining I crank up the speed and hang about 2mm out.

Hope that answer your question.

I really like the look of these, I might pick one up if they are still available.
