Can anyone tell me if I am missing a spacer of sorts on a rotary works machine? It seems that whenever I place a needle on my grommet it sits directly on the machine causing much friction and greatly reduced and labored speed. I have tried using a shim washer to no avail. When this machine runs free its a great liner. Its just so damned hard to create a space under the grommet. I know I could use paper but really prefer the grommets. Anyone else have these problems and maybe a solution?
Thanks in advance,
PaleoJohn

There WAS a great one on just this problem. I finally found it. Sorry about the redundancy.

Sure is. Hows it going buddy. Hats off to you for taking your machine building to the level you have. I wish I had had the time to have stuck with it more. If I FINALLY get some clientel at this new shop.....I'll be getting a couple of your machines. Maybe you could build me a sweet soft hitting shader for doing black and gray portraits. I'm hearing good things about your new rotary lineup also. Tattoo connect.....Tattooz.net...... Miss those sites

I used to enjoy that forum, sad it's no longer with us.
