some lining with the rapier

[slicksteel]

the rapiers are the shit! wish i had not sold/traded all mine of!

[Dman]

Out of all the rotaries I have tried I liked the Rapiers the best. Its a simple machine light and gets the job done. Not to mention the price is great. I traded both of mine and regret it. Looks like I will be placing an order for 3 more soon.

Man great work! Liking those roses alot. Now I wanna try the rapier 2

Very nice lining dude. Looks real clean.
I really want to try a rapier. Although I do think this "spring give" rotary works is going to line well. Just want something decent to come in so I can test it.

Thanks for all the props guys on the Rapier machines. We are in the process of a Rapier III that is going to be ready soon. We are adding a gun blued steel frame and tube vice for the firearm look as well as adding an ounce or two to the front to counter balance all the weight to the front over the tube. We are also building them with the cord out the back and a front loaded motor. What we are trying to do is make the machine more servicable by the artist. We are also making it so you can change the give spring from soft to no give at all by changing springs or with a special slug to lock it down.

Hey cary those are all great ideas! Is the rapier3 going to be the same price? the weight forward will make that machine one of the best and I do like the idea of changing springs & stuff myshelf! It was already great and with the forward weight will even sink the needles easier for sure.

not quite, the rapier 2 is a fantastic liner - it's all I use now I won't use any other machine. The treasure chest is equally if not better made - a real high quality piece of engineering from Cary, I use the TC for black & gray and colour - both machines are perfect for me I love em !!! Now Cary says he's bring out another new machine - o well get prepared to spend some more dollars then

Elbo - what size liners did you use? & what speed do you run at? I'm finding it great 3-7RL About 7 volts - suits me anyway.

Hi Baldrick...i used a starr 9 liner on that piece...cheap needles but i like the fact they aint too tight! (they are quite chunky compared to some 9's)...i run my rapier at 8 to 9 volts with a big needle but go down in volts for 5's etc....the rapiers push a fat grouping very well...
