    Workhouse Irons Rotary 2

    Hi all , i consider to buy a new Rotary to my gen8 , bishop and Taylor , HM ...
    so i think about the workhorse irons rotary 2 or the MARV Custom Workhorse Rotary Liner.

    Have any here experience with this machines ... or infos how good this system working.
    I have a high hand speed and work most with #10 bugpins for realistic Portraits.

    I have the first gen of this machine...sits in my draw... tried to use it several times...it is the loudest clackity ..clack machine ever.very punchy runs at low volts. I really like the design of the machine. doesn't look like they changed much from what I can see. except the clip cord connection and the color but I could be wrong.from what I am reading on the specs they did make some changes maybe they solved the problem

    I just cant do it. I just think those machines are down right ugly! I mean my machines are my girls, and I couldn't pull out a workhorse irons rotary 2 or the MARV Custom Workhorse Rotary Liner and be like look at my girls, lol. id be more like do they make opaque black machine bags, lol. seriously though I know machine function is first and foremost but looks have a lot to do with my buys also. that machine from the knock off king on the other hand, I cant lie, id throw a maxon motor in that bitch and put in some work, lmao. good design, I cant lie I like it.

    haha! vincent looks like what the workhorse should be in its second second gen . Why would anyone pay to have a machine with another mans name blasted all over and a dye job.

    I agree in both cases (workhorse and Vincent) who does that? but youre right, not very creative in a second release

    I had a 1st gen workhorse rotary and, while it lined okay and did pack solid color really well at low volts and was really light, it sounded like a freaking rattletrap.
    Maybe they remedied the noise factor. Other than that, it was a decent machine.

    I pry will ive been eye balling it(the Vincent) something about the design just looks right to me, I cant help it. just seems like such an easy solution to the right amount of give for a rotary. I cant lie I might be the owner of one soon. ive checked thoroughly and haven't seen it as a knock off of anything, so I think im safe in not supporting something that takes from a good builders hard earned ideas. but at the same time id be giving that fuck money when he steals in so many other ways. conundrum
