    Ok I need to change the date on the Spinner, we made a late change to the board and wanted to prove it out before going into full production.

    The Power Supply was designed specifically with rotaries in mind and it will also happily run your coils. Our main focus was to deliver a clean DC output with all of the advantages of digital technology and we have managed to do that. The issue with power switching is as "Mickwrath" describe further up this thread some of the digital supplies don't switch fast enough (Hz to low) and this can shorten the life span of the motor.

    The Spinner has 9 programmable preset options, you can even name your machines whatever you like, the display has nice big clear numbers and you can set it up just to give you the basic info or you can have all of the info including Cycles per second, that was one of the things that we wanted to achieve and have manage to come up with a way that works pretty well. It also comes with all of the Swashdrive preset.

    We are not giving to much more away at this point, but production has finally started and we are looking at June for the first batch to be out...

    A power unit with just numbers that can be bagged is ideal for cosmetic tattooers. Its a legitimate industry some of these companies forget about getting the attention of.

    Just following up on some of the comments in this thread ... there was a couple of reasons we built something & made it specific for rotaries.

    1. There is an issue with Power Switching in that if it is not high enough (at least 32k hertz +) then it will shorten the life span of a rotary motor. And with some of the newer style pancake motors coming out it is even more important.
    2. The idea of being able to read the cycles was basically a wishlist idea that Tony Oliver from Swashdrive put to the two of us when we had the first discussion about building a power supply. Someone up this thread said how impossible it would be (or words like that) .. it was not impossible but it was bloody difficult, as all of the different motors with the different mechanisms put out hugely different signals. So that is why if you want to use the cycles options you need to use the presets and calibrate you rotary machine (it will give you a figure within +or- 3 cycles per second)
    3. Apart from wanting to deliver clean, ripple free DC for Rotaries and maybe have Cycles as an option, we wanted to build something that artists wanted to use. So we set about asking a heap of artists what they would like to see in a power supply, what was important and what was not so important.

    So that is what we set about doing, yes the cycles option can sound a bit gimmicky on one hand, but what it does give you is a level of really fine adjustment, some folk like that some folk don't care, and as Tony is oft quoted as saying the good artists could tattoo well with a wind up clock.

    If you are a tattoo by the numbers person then maybe it will help, but for those folk that aren't we still wanted to build a power supply that would work well for them.

    So we asked ... and this is how we addressed some of the priorities.

    It is easy to bag & keep clean and you can still see the screen clearly (this is one thing we heard a lot)

    The touchpad is really responsive & fast that was one of the criticisms we heard about touchpads and it works well through a bag. (it comes set at a high sensitivity because some folk & touchpads just don't gel but you can dial it down if you get button bleed - which means your aura is so huge you just have to wave your hand over it .. )

    Some folk wanted presets so this one has 9 that you can name what you want (up to 9 letters)

    Some folk didn't care so you can just select the M button & start work.

    Some folk wanted all the details, Htz, Cycles, Volts etc ... some folk wanted just the 1 big number .. so you can set the Spinner to Default or Advanced so that you can have it either way.

    Different people wanted it to start on a different screen so you have 3 options. Main Menu, Presets or Last Setting.

    People wanted the numbers to be easily read from an angle so we did that.

    It has been nearly two years in the making, and for the last 6 months we have been testing it and refining it based on artists feedback, so whilst we don't expect everyone to love it (because that shit just ain't ever gonna happen) we hope enough of you like it & those of you that read this might appreciate the work we put into it.

    Oh an done other thing it does not matter what country you are in the wall plug comes with the different country plugs so you can just swap it out.

    It also comes with a stand to stick to you bench or you can take it off & stick the rubber feet on.

    Anyway that's it from the horses mouth we hope you like it and give it a shot ... if folk have any questions please ask me on e-mail or Facebook and I will do my best to get back on here & check in. Cheers Samyo

    We have been working very diligently on creating one of the first of its kind power supplies that will cater to all rotary machines. I have teamed up with my buddy Ken over at Critical Power Supply to help with this project and we are so close to perfection. It's is going to be a beast and satisfy many issues people have with power supplies. Finally a power supply built specifically for rotaries. Look ut for the official post very soon with the first batch only available to forum members and with a discount.

    NOTE: This will also be able to power all coil machines and with much cleaner power voltage due to the technology we are using that will satisfy both worlds!
