A good point there elbo. Being a grease it wouldn't wash off as easily as ink. Not an issue if disposable tubes are being used though.

Quick update on my opinions of my Rotaryworks machine; I've noticed that if the grommet is flat to the brass when a needle is in place the grommet can start to wear away and cause the machine to slow a little. A small air gap underneath the grommet fixes this. On a very positive note i set the machine to 2.8 volts and tried lining. At first i couldn't get a clean line, then i started to push the needle a little and slow down a bit and wow does this machine line really smoothly! I used both 5rls and 7rls all day and it was super consistent. I Tried some tricky pieces too like 2 polynesian arm bands (yawn) and a japanese dragon half sleeve with loads of scales, it performed like a dream. One of the best lining machines i've used in 6 years of tattooing and that includes all the top name coils! I'm going to be buying another one of these machines very shortly!

What do you Rotaryworks users lube your machines up with, and how often do you lube them up? I know Instol and Surgilube are recommended but i was wondering what else you guys use?

Silicone grease is ok, I use that on my Bishop aswell. Glad you've got the hang of lining with it-I really like my alluminium Rotaryworks,every Rotary enthusiast should have one in their collection.
