could i use a DK mini crank set to line to color pack

**pinkfro** · 10-14-2012, 01:03 AM

Could i without changing the stroke length? I typically use the coil machine i line with for my round shaders. I just bought a dk mini cranker and having him set it up to line with and just messaged him about a DD and another cranker for b&g. If I can cut a machine out there that would be awesome. saving 300$ would let me buy something else fun.

These will be my first rotaries. been using coils since i started.
Thanks!!

i can use my cranker at 4.2mm for everything including b&g, dont be scared of it just adjust your handspeeds and voltages

There is also a video so you can learn how to adjust the stroke.

What sort of lines are we talking about? I have two crankers,one @ 4.5 ,superb for thicker lines and color packing, 3.5 for thinner lines and this will also color well, but in ideal places, side of calf etc. I have one of Dans' mini direct drives coming, can't wait to play with that

No problem at all, as said above adjust volts, handspeed and depth to suit yer needle grouping, spesh if using big ass round shaders....And add a "squishy" gromm..http://www.rotarytattoo.com/showthre...ight=dampening I never found the need to adjust stroke...

I have two minicrankers and I use them to line and color both are set at 4mm I believe. I dont mess with them for black and grey through. I suppose I could but I have other machines that I like more for them.
