    Different strokes for different fokes. MR03 Design Question

    The MR03 is nearly ready but I have a question about stroke, what stroke would be best and would an optional stroke be required.
    I have designed the machine to have just one stoke but it would be possible to change the middle section for a shorter or longer stroke as required. You will be able to adjust the amount needle over hang like the Hawk but would you need to change the stoke.

    I like a stroke somewhere between 3.5 - 4.2. Put in my vote for 3.8

    And no I wouldn't need a second stroke length w/ a 3.8 , but it's hard to please everyone.

    I second the 3.8-4, though I feel the optimal all around best stroke length is 3.925714mm

    3.8 sounds perfect to me as well. Another vote. Mick-

    3.5 sounds good -as longer on those types seem to hit to hard/not as smooth and take a lot of power to run and to short is not enough punch for line or people that like to see their needle etc.

    I want 1.2.

    Make no other stroke lenghts.

    Seriously, I just want to take this opportunity to say again that this is the kind of costumer service that show exactly what kind of great guy Ed is!
    You make a machine and listen to what customer are looking for before you finalize it.

    Keepin it real..!
    Winds of shit...

    What a fuck with stroke, is like the wine, many people think are very different but nobopdy understand, i can bet now that u give a 3.5 stroke to anybody on this forum and u say top him that is 5 mm stork, and nobody gonna feel the difference, when u wanna try im ready....

    More stroke on rotary make more vibrations, bullshit any stroke more than 3.5 mm......
