TORCH Rotary tattoo machine

[Tcoe13]

Hey gang, I finally got my @$#% together and finished my rotary machine. It's been a long time coming but I think it's worth the wait. Here's some pics and a little info, if anyone's interested in more info; of course hit me up on the forum here or check out the website at: www.torchrotary.com

Ok, so what right? Another rotary tattoo machine, woo hoo, big deal. Well of course I think it's a big deal but here's the info and you be the judge. It's a direct drive rotary machine that offers dampening via a torsion spring. The specially designed (patent pending) cam rotates clockwise while also being able to slightly rotate counter clockwise when the needle is put under duress, which is where the dampening comes in. I know I'm biased but I really think that's kinda cool. Anyway, I've been tattooing with it for about a year now as my daily driver for lining, shading and coloring all with excellent results. It has a 6-12V, 9000 RPM Micro DC motor that I find runs 5,7 and 9 liner cartridges at about 7 volts and 9 and 15 mag cartridges at 6.8 - 7 volts with ease and allows plenty of flexibility for whatever style of tattooing I'm doing that day. I hope to put a video up a little later today to show it actually running T Tech and normal tube and needles. Also, the motor will be covered and it's RCA only.

I've got 20 in stock and ready to roll. I'm offering them to you fine folks (Forum Members) at the reduced price of $225 down from $275 (machine only) or $250 down from $300 (with 19mm stainless steel grip and (2) 5 liner, (2) 7 liner and (2) 9 mag needle cartridges all from T Tech Tattoo Device, their EZ grip and cartridge system - www.ttechtattoo.com) for simply being "brothers (or sisters) in arms" here on the forum.

Well that's about all I have to say at present other than I look forward to your comments and/or questions.
Thanks,
Troy

Deeeeecent shit!!!

Beautiful and simple and clean!!

It is so inspiring to see people come up with new stuff in this industry that really works!!



The screw on the bottom for rubber bands/hold motor in place?

Doesn't it get a bit wobbly with that size and material on the cam?

great idea and cool looking-I like the alum can as heat sink and the steel as a balanced sturdy front that offsets the back motor weight-only thing i would add is a brazed/tacked in pinch sleeve on the chuck so the tubes dont slip or get marred up from the screw.

Very nice work being done with the torch looks like a winner!
I pm you

You got a PM from me, being a t-tech user, this is really interesting

[slicksteel]

what length is the stroke?

[Wonderland]

Very Cool. I like the concept you have, the torsion spring is a great idea. I would love to see some videos of it just running so we can hear it and see the torsion spring in action as well.

Would be interesting to see if there is any noise from the drive system. I mean noise that communicates to you.
