I love mine too Paul. Just got a new adjustable cranker off Dan, set at 5mm. Puts solid big group lines in with ease. Never thought i'd make the switch to lining fully with a rotary, but the Soba Pilot is getting used less and less nowadys. Got one of Dans mini direct drives too, and that machine is a monster for colour. Heres my babies the heat treated machine was a trade from Skinmech.DSCF0877 (Small).JPG
