    Coils are creepings back in.

    The cranker is used constantly, but coils are making a comeback. Bit like Iron Maiden, you forget just how great they were!!

    Top left, to bottom right. Dan Kubin Direct Drive, Dan Kubin MC-13, Uncle Roy Direct Drive, Workhorse Irons Ciferri Jensen Shader (Tarted up), Workhorse Irons Ciferri Classic Liner (Same as shader, bit of spit and polish!), And a Seth Ciferri Custom Liner.

    I appreciate the options this kind of set-up provides, I have ALWAYS said, there is a place for Rotaries and Coils side by side on any ones Top Shelf......IMHO, If someone can't set aside a 12 MOS+ to understand how a Coil Machine Runs, and to be able to Rip/Strip and Retune to suit, they don't know how much they are missing out on...

    Well said mate. Totally agree, and I know a lot of people are obsessed with a machine thats almost silent, but you cant beat a nice consistent buzz of a coil. And IMO they are hands down easier to line with than a rotary.

    I fuk about with Coils all the time, most of my tuning can be seen here.... Just follow the other links.. I agree, the sound is hard to beat,LOL... This one is now acinks... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=qGQTig2S9rk

    It is now set as a "cutback" shader, 2mm+ stroke, runs fast, so perfect for B&G..

    Coils line better period. There is no comparison, I've found that the best lining rotaries I've used pale in comparison to even a mediocre coil liner. Rotaries are amazing for shading, color blending, solid fill, and all that stuff but they haven't caught up on the outlining and I'm not sure they ever will

    Aye defiantly room for both coil and rotary on my table, love the feedback the noise of a top tuned coil gives you and also love the waspish noise the needles make whilst grey shading with a quiet rotary
