Alan Dixon Rotary USA

[Administrator]

I would never choose style over function but I think the H&M looks more like a solid tattooing tool than the Alan Dixon one. But the H&M isnt adjustable at all. Does a rotary motor need a cooling system anyways? The description says its a motor with a cooling system on the Dixon machine...

the cooling system is the heat synch around the motor. This is why there is the odd looking stagger around it. To be honest it looks like it was designed by a RC racing enthusiast.

It does look like someone with an RC background designed parts of it for sure! Although I actually think the motor mount is the most sensible/practical I've seen on this style of machine; why bother holding stuff in a can with grub screws etc when most motors that size come with mounting holes on the front anyway. Not sure about the heat sink, there is possibly some merit in having one but it looks a little ott / garish. My only real grumble is the patent pending and other shit written all over the machine, I'd want commission for advertising using that.

Does anyone know how much it even costs?

His website looks relatively new,the coil machines look well made are attractive and a fair price. The Rotary looks nice too,but of course we have to wait until somebody uses one.

Its 350€ without taxes so its somewhere around 500$ same as the H.M machine

Hopefully its not a cheap stealth connection on the H.M machine at that price range... The Swiss uses the same connection as the Stealth ripoff and I hope it will last a lot longer too but I was told by someone who tattooed my me with Swiss machines that his were running for 3.5 years without any troubles to that day. It was the first thing I asked him because it broke on my Stealth so quickly.
