Your local piercer should have em, as well as hardware stores

I have 2 RW machines and I love them, I use paper towel, but Ive heard mention that putting a small fiber washer behind a rubber grommet it will keep from getting chewed up, I haven't tried it myself but thought I'd mention it. I ought to try some kind of needle stabilizer needle runner setup too, cause the corner edges snap rubber bands on me. I love the RW machines and Dale was great to deal with, top marks in my book.

haha pete! this comes from the main man himshelf-that is all he uses and designed the machines at first for himshelf. So I would think there was never any thought to make them work better for rubber groms which are somewhat new.I can still remember using tape on my coil abars. and peter i bet you did to as your old then me!

is the give on the springer very good.. can it run soft?

I found silicone tubing works for me. I can cut it to size and that way it doesn't touch the frame, so no shredding and no need for any modifying of the nipple of the machine.

i like it. with the increase in give the stroke also increases. u can use max give and it hits super soft. just like a coil really where u put ur finger on the armature bar to see how hard its running . same concept. u can touch ur finger to it an watch the needle back way off and im talking way off if u run it slow enough with max give. i think it a good introductory adjustable machine because it works great and a great price. if u find u like the give maybe an investment into more expensive adjustable is a good idea or just get another springer.lol. for me i learned i really dont need the give and usually used this machine for b and g with no give because at that setting i believe its 2.5mm. max give i believe is close to 5.. great machine IMO.. it really can do everything the standard RW does but has a lil adjustment if u like

Yep I remember ,and I did do that,surgical tape you just built it up until the eyelet went on snug. Sometimes back then when you baught a new machine there was sometimes a wax coating on the nipple. It doesn't surprise me that Dale still uses some of the old tried and tested methods, he is the son of Dave Diamond after all.
