Looking for a new cutback

darkinktattoos · #1 02-01-2010, 12:34 AM

I’m looking for the lightest cut back liner out there. Can anyone help point one out? I have been using neumas for the last few years.

I would love to find a cutback that lays single pass using a super tight 7.
Any info is really appreciated. And a cookie to anyone that sends me the link. To their suggestion.

150 hz at 12 volts if lightness and speed is the most important issue.

Yeah, you'll find what you need here http://www.fkirons.com/Fk_Irons/Machines.html

Brilliant machines.

try and get access to the restricted forum and people would be able to go into a little more detail into which machines and why.

Thanks guys cookies are in the mail.

I have read this forum for years. But I don’t say a lot. I think you have to have so many posts to get in the private forum. So I’ll be there one day.
The fkirons are cool as hell. Thanks for pointing them to me. Bit pricey...but top of my list.

As for the swash... I thought about those but it’s the whole power supply issue that held me back. But thanks for the suggestion and I’ll look in to them again.

I do like my neumas but I miss coils. I see all machines as use as need. I still think some tattoos would look better done with coils. And vice versa.

Neumas have ruined me on the weight of the machines. And that’s been my hold back on buy coils again.

But I need a better liner.

Again thank you all. Please if anyone has more suggestions yell out.

What would be the issue with the power supply? Just a good lab supply or a critical works fine. I run mine with a cx2. I´m not a sale representative from swashdrive, promise. ;-)
For a lightweight coil machine i would sure go for one from fk. They seem NICE. If i can sell of some of my sobas i would get one asap. Unfortunatly I´ve allready filled my promised (to my better half) machine budget for 2010. :-)

On the power supply I read that they didn’t run well on certain ones. And kicks. It off?
Again I should have read more than just making assumptions.
I’d love to try a swash drive…. Is it the same one that they sell at unimax? If not do I just order from the site. The plus for the swash is the speed. Well for me.
john clark has some killer machines. Wow
As for cain I have to be the only tattooist that cannot find his website. Is there any place to just buy a Cain pre made?
Thanks guys

Yeah they don´t run on some eikon supplys. But that can be fixed. What supply do you use? They are nice, but very powerfull. But i think the lack of weight makes them so easy to use that it makes up for it.
Yes, unimax is the US distributor.
