Swashdrive Gen 8 Review

[sinister72]

Slick...all my machines are taking a back seat to the Gen 8's since I got them. People have been trying to design that do everything machine?...yeah so far I haven't found anything the damn Gen 8 can't do and that's no bullshit. It's the most well rounded machine I've ever picked up.

that's good to hear Mick I will be having mine delivered tomorrow cant wait ,the thing that caught my eye with this machine is the coil dial for 10 different stroke actions correct if i am wrong cant wait to try this beast out will post again in a week later!!!

i read that comment from mick and its what made me buy a gen 8 in the first place,.... i wish i had never read it., because i really hated mine and sold it at a loss just to try and get some of my money back haha

the one thing i have question about mick-is there two sliders one on each side that you click in to the same setting selection you want-wonder if you get unequal flex if there is only one on the side.

[MickWrath]

naw homie there is only one adjustment slider, there's no need for two because one wont give you unequal flex because it affects the clips rigidity as a whole. especially with the linear delivery of the needle points. It doesn't cant the needle configurations give more on one side than the other, It performs in conjunction so the impact and delivery is equal. if the scale were lets say 500:1 then you may notice a slight delivery variability but with the transference of momentum ending through an ultimately linear delivery system the variability would be very minute.

Mick I am thinking I will have to borrow this, this is a great explanation ... I will quote you though.

Technical as fuck with it ha

[joelhague]

Mick have you tried the gen 8 with t tech how soft is the give compard to the whip

[MickWrath]

I use the gen 8 with ttechs exclusively, the adjustability is as hard as a gen 6 with no give to softer than a whip with the softest clip. It has a very good span of adjustment capability.

Hmmm i will have to try a t tech set up with my gen 8....You using the cheyenne grip thats made for standard machine or t techs own grips?...Just wondered if any of them are the better of the two?...I got some t tech carts to use and like them a lot...The bugpin mags are awesome..
