weight of machines what do you like

Which do you prefer a light machine of 3.5 ounces or a heavier machine of 5-6 ounces ? I'm doing a run of Cutlass liners we have been testing and I'm trying to decide bronze or aluminum. This model will be fully engraved and polished to a high luster.

Personally, I feel that lighter is better. But majority of rotaries out there are already very light weight, so a heavier machine option would be nice for those who like that heavy, coil feel.

Cutlass Liner Prototype 002.jpgHere's the prototype. It works flawlessly with no spitting and more punch than any coil machine. It has true adjustable spring give, just swap out one of the 3 different give springs. No adjusting a knob it's preloaded and works the same every time. Clip cord or RCA connection and a clean tube vise. Aluminum weighs in at 3.5 ounces. True spring slap with the floating give system. from 5-10 volts.

Forgot and the three stroke crank and adjusts just like the Treasure Chest. Springs are included.

Very Nice. I prefer a lighter machine for lining and a heavier for color work. So for me it would be both.

Heavier isnt the worst for lining with small groupings feels like more control somehow...
