thanks for the info.
i think what makes them magic is the size of the cam. I think it builds quite a bit of momentum from that. Also on mine when i take my foot of the pedal it still spins for quite sometime which makes me think it has a lot force behind it. compared to other rotaries that simply stop when in the off position.. That along with the slight dampening are in my opinion what makes it magic. It is the only rotary I have used that stands above the others in performance.
that's cool. definitely gotta get one. im sold. now the arduous task of trying to hide all my future purchases from my accountant(wife), lol. i have a long list of machines waiting to be bought. the cranker is getting bumped up on the list though.
LOL, been there :) I actually put off buying a cranker for quite sometime and wish I had not. When i finally did get one, It lived up to the hype and some!Quote:

is the no give clip coming standard or is that a separate purchase? id hate to get one based on how they ran previously only to find something different and not like it.
Answer:
The weight of the armature bar and the fact that the nipple head is not fixed.. it actually moves freely up and down inside the armature but is encased in an o ring of some sort inside the armature itself .. this helps to recreate the stabbing of a coil machine on the downstroke, similar to a whipping action, but with the perfectly controlled depth of a rotary crank shaft. Very well made...
You'd have to ask Dan. But it seems his newer models dont have the amount of give as the older ones. TBH, I used the cranker with no give and it lined just like all the other rotaries I have used, no magic. Now, with the built in give, it is like butter! Just like crabink said....Quote:

I am sure he will respond sooner or later.
maybe give isnt the right way to put it. But unlike other no gives the needle backs off on mine and I like it. It is probably because of the wear on the plastic mine does that(mc 12), but as I said for myself it seems to function better for how i Line. Maybe dampening would be a better way to put it, what ever it is, it lines like no other. It is much different than say a true no give, like a neotat or impact.Quote:
