Anybody use and could give feedback on the workhorse irons rotary? Contemplating on purchasing one but haven't really heard any reviews on it. So what better place than here right. Already use the dragonfly but not really getting good lining results from it. Its a kick ass shader and color packer. Or even feedback on what would be a good investment for lining with a rotary.

I've recently been using a rapier2 for lining and it's great - loving it, nice weight and balance. Used with 3 up to 9th and same great lines.

I had issues getting consistent results lining with my Dragonfly too, switched to #8 bug pin liners and now it lines like a dream. Might be worth giving it a try unless of course you want to drop 3 1/2 C notes on a shiny new machine

Killer Ink... They are a way pricey but I couldn't be bothered to spend any more time looking for #8's. They also have sample packs, so its not like you have to dump a fortune...

Thats all i've used are coils. I use a chris smith carnivore liner, a dave ritchie liner and a next generation liner but honestly getting tired of the weight of all these coil iron machines. Thats why I kinda made the choice to finally give the rotarys a try where I shelled out 650 for the Dragonfly (surprised it didn't come with a woman) but I still love it none the less. Only disappointment was the lining, no matter how I adjusted it.
