    It does slicksteel! The closest feel and hit to a coil, without actually being one

    This machine is insanely adjustable. It can hit softer than I can imagine anyone wanting with a very long throw. And all the way back down to a short stroke ( almost identical to my cutback shader, coils) Its louder than any rotary I have used but I actually like the buzz! I have not lined with it but I have a feeling it would be no problem at all.

  4. Thanks The Limey thanked for this post.

    Did you get the standard stroke, or the long stroke?. I'm interested in how the machine packs colour?.

    Does this machine lose punch as you press on the give like a coil? Can't wait for a comparison to a Centri.

    Ok let me give some comparisons between the two now that I've had more time with them.

    The Specific comes shipped with a 2.5mm stroke, but with the spring give it has it is more than adequate throw. A 3mm stroke is available, but I can't see that being necessary on this machine. It lines and color packs great, I prefer to open up the give which also increases the stroke, for I believe that give is the secret to lining with rotaries. The drawback to me is that makes the Specific very loud with a long stroke, which some people like. It actually does sound, feel and hit like a coil which to those making the transition from coils will feel very comfortable with it. With the give screw tightened down the stroke is very short (great for black & gray) and it is very quiet while still keeping that coil spring give. One thing I have noticed is there is a good amount of bruising and bleeding with it which is similar to a coil and the healing is similar to a coil.

    You also can't go wrong with the Dragonfly's. They are very light, quiet and the needle tensioner is great. I don't really care for the give system, which just seems to loosen the needle bar pin and it just seems to rattle around. I use just a slight give on the DF's

    There is a bog down when you press on the give on the Specific exactly like a coil, but it doesn't lose force. I would love to use the Centri and compare the two, I will definitely add that to my collection in the future.

    It all comes down to user preference. There isn't a 'one machine does all'. I've used every rotary on the market and I've settled down to my DF short stroke for lining (small groupings) & black and gray, the Specific for lining (large groupings) & color packing, and the Bizarre v2 and Vivace 4.2mm long stroke for color packing & blending. I hope this helps, ask me any questions you may have. I love machine talk and I love this forum for helping me as well
