hi folks. the workhorse irons rotary should be on the street in about a week. it's super light and powerful, with a long 3.5mm stroke. it runs great fast or slow. the tube vise is steel and the body is delrin, so the forward balance is really nice. the hardware is all black, except the contacts and armature post, which are antique brass. i know of 10 of these machines working in the field at this time, and everyone loves them. they work for lining and shading, and different ink viscosities. the machine was designed by soba and myself. it's a tremendous honor to be involved in this project. i should have some on hand in a week also. i will post some photos once soba gives me the go ahead. thanks everyone. --bill
