Review time :
When I first got it like in December 2010, and i was impressed for the fact it weights so light , and it does get the job done easily without worry about adjusting the 'Give' such as the stigma hyper v 2, or even the dragon fly.
I feel this is like a lighter smaller version of the NeoTat machine, which is my 1st liner rotary machine. also on a side note, the picture you see in the middle of the machine, u can change it to anything u like, all u need is some clear tape and the picture u want to insert in.
enough of the techincal part, here comes the practical part: this machine is very smooth at 8 volts , which is how i do my black and grey with, and the needle depth is also just right at 3.5mm ( long stroke), and if i want it smoother, i usually push my grip further out , so only like 2 mm of needle is showing, i don't really know what motor its using, it might be swiss or it might be mabuchi. but if u buy the clip-cord version, and u tried to connect it 1 way, and doesn't work, don't fret, simply just turn the clip cord another way round, maybe its because the motor is brush-less. somewhat like the swashdrive Gen 5.
its weird how this feel so light still, even after every tattoo i am still impress by the workmanship of this machine, as it is 1 piece aluminum and its CNC is a perfect way, i am not no connection with Bishop at all, but i got to tell you that Franco is one hell of a guy, his customer service is top notch,just be a lil patience when u email him.
those of u that are converting from coil to rotary, it might take a lil while for u to get used to it, but once u mastered how to use it, u be happy u made this purchase, and if u think u want a lil more heavier , u can try the neotat machine which in my opinion , is the 1st inventer of the linear rotary , which is out like back then is 2006 or so, when i first saw it on Ebay. and its much cheaper too. but it looks like a bloody ugly big Zippo lighter. my 2 cents!
