Spektra Halo feedback thread

[shoutingbombs]

that's exactly what i did....I ordered a Spektra 3 days ago and I picked up another stroke wheel so I could find what works for me. I'm already stashing cash for another Spektra and figured in the meantime I could just swap out the stroke wheels and compare the dif. strokes...get rid of the guess work and order the motorbolt I want.

Yeah it's definitely worth doing a multiple buy with these babies you won't regret it!

I finally got to use my 2.5 spektra today. I have NEVER used a machine that puts b&g in this easy! I will not ever be w/out a Spektra again. I also did a small color piece w/ my 3.6 Spektra yesterday w/ little effort. WOW!

I might have to try the 2.5 I've been stuck to the 3.2 personally Today Juan Salgado did a piece during his guest spot at our shop with it and the piece came out so smooth. Here it is. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

You should, I streched the skin just normal stretch & it was really like using a marker.

I was using the Old No.13 B&G set. By the way.

my only complaint is that when i get it up to around 10 volts for lining...there is noticeable vibration....was wondering if it's just the tubes i'm using.
I am using tatsoul wrath tubes.

Use extra rubber bands! What stoke do you have?. at 10 V you get very high RPMs. Remember the machine is really light and the centrifugal force kicks in at that range. You may not need all that voltage. I use 3.2 for lining at 8.5, 9V again i never use anything bigger than a 9 tight. I've heard people in here using 13RL with ease. If you are using some large grouping try to stick to thick wrath or slam some stainless steels to compensate. I tried the new Morphix grip covers and really like them. That may help you too. Feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.

Try a grip like this...32mm stainless....I line at 10.3 volts using 14 liners for jap work....Ok the grip is heavier than the machine but vibration isnt a problem as it soaks up the vibrations....And i find it steadies the hand...a 28 or 30 diameter will no doubt work too...

I would never use a lightweight disposable tube/grip for lining....although i love em for shading...
