I got a gen 8 on its way...i will post my opinion when ive tried it...

[Tengu315]

I have a slide, and a gen8 on the way .
The slide 2.0 has the slide it self on 3 roller bearings. So the slide it self feels like it has no resistance .. It kind of floats/ glides up and down fast..
The machine is really lite and easy to move around so I use it when I do fine detail quickly with 7 and under rounds or b&g shading and filing with smaller mags.. Up to 9s.. I like it.. But for bigger and longer lineing l like a little more weight.
Would that help?

Gen 8
But elbo will beat me too it haha. I know it's gonna be good the design is amazingly well thought out. Like a gen and a whip had a love child.

Ive always enjoyed lining certain pieces with a gen 7 so maybe with the extra grunt in the bigger motor the gen 8 will be a great liner?

[MickWrath]

I think so elbo it has that long stroke we come to expect from swashdrives and you can adjust from super soft give to solid no give so it spans the gambit for all types of lining preferences.

i just rebuilt, whatever cleaned and lubed two gen 6, one poly and one aluminum, new clips a little metoil and ive used these daily since 2007 or 2008 i think, point being its not like they wouldn't do what was needed and are fresh right now
