Sorry for digging up this thread again but I cant help it at the moment ;-)

Im using nothing but my mini Evolution and my 2 Crankers (3rd one will arrive tomorrow) for 2 weeks now cant say enough good things about the Cranker and how much I love these machines. I use a 5mm stroke for shading small areas and packing with a 7 round shader mostly and the other one with a 3.5mm stroke and a 9 mag for bng shading.. I never had a machine before that packs so solid and fast with a round like the Cranker does and same goes for bng shading. Its so easy to get a solid and smooth field of grey with the Cranker its unbelievable it feels like doing precise watercolor...

What a great tool kudos to Mr. Kubin
