Hey nick, i'd like to know what decides the angle of the contact screw. I'm having a hard time to understand how i decide the springs lenght and thickness. Does that have anything to do with the angle of the contact screw?
OMG I'm really learning this. UGH. I feel nauseous. The dream...is it supposed to be intense? And if yes...does that mean I should tattoo with Intenze It is so hard to aim for something higher...to be better than the average tattooer...it takes a lot of chutzpah.
The nickel and dime width is actually the "gap" in armature bar as its running. A different frame style will totally throw you off is you depend on using that distance in just the space between the spring and contact screw. In other words hold a nickel or dime to the side of the armature bar as your machine is running, you'll clearly see what looks like two armature bars and That's your stroke length
Depends on the artist and their techniques. If you are getting good quality then do it. I personally like to use machines set up to do a specific job because it is easier to work with. You don't need to force it. Just makes your job easier
Hi, love your vidéos. sorry for my english, i'm french, Québec. I am a fan of your vidéo. I understand all of your stuff, but in this video, 101, that i think his for newcommers, do'nt you think you should start by explaining what his the difference between a heavy and a soft spring. I have cut so many skin whit the original springs on my coil machine before i understood the difference, and i use Mickey Sharpz machine. The most difficult thing for me to learn whas when do i know when i have to much tension on my springs. Thanks to you now i know what tattoing like a ninja means.
I reached these numbers, but when I placed the needle, the numbers decreased, and I could only control the duty it is very difficult and almost impossible. What do you think of this? and thank you
Set it up while the needle is on the machine. Once the machine is running it will also need enough voltage to work correctly. Does it run correctly when you turn up the voltage?
If it isn't a voltage issue I would adjust the springs. Also make sure springs are nice and tight so they don't move. Anything comes loose and the machine will go out of tune
Throw or stroke is the distance the needle travels. When the armature bar is all the way up until it is all the way down. Adjust this to work with your ink. Thin ink doesn't need a lot of throw. Thick ink allows needle to get in that ink more and get it in the skin
@@TattooUniversity thanks for the reply! im Learning a lot because of your work! I'm saving each video on my playlist and writing the information on my notebook
Yeah i have those machines as well but my only complaint is with the liner it seems luke its not strong enough to push a 5 or a 7 liner and a 9 is out pf the question. Did you stuff your coils?
@@deimos_lux378 sounds like there might be something wrong with the tuning or something maybe even a power loss somewhere because mine pushed a 18 rl like nobody's business but I've recently changed the coils for ring master coils and ringmaster springs but out of the box it worked great you should check out the compass series on Amazon there the beat machines I have even better than my workhorse irons and an extremely expensive paco Rollins
@@deimos_lux378 and stuffing your coils doesnt change anythikng enough to do it alot of people say it does but it the material inside is not good material then a little steel wool is not going to fix that
@@lastchancetattoo3284 i replaced the rear spring with a same gauge but thinner in width spring, i left the front spring and replaced the a bar with a lighter one. Like im at a loss dude im so dissapointed in its results it isn't running fast enough for my style at all. I need some guidance

man your saving me again , info so hard to find,

But you often shade, whilst color packing...
Using 2 different machine for those purpose, is alot of hazzle? What is your opinion on this?

There are more videos coming. Put a thinner spring on the machine or put it to the side and push down on it. This will take out some of the tension.
@@TattooUniversity can't whait for the viseo's, and put thinner spring, very happy whit the result

@@TattooUniversity Yes, the voltage works at the cps. No, it's a pleasure to touch the front spring
Just subbed thanks for the tips
I've a question. my armatura bar dont touch the coils even if i put 11 volts. I have too much tension on the rear spring ?
Could be or the machine isn't set up correctly. When you push down on the armature bar with your thumb does it touch the front core?
@@TattooUniversity if i push down with my thumb the armature bar does touch the front core
@@diogomiguel4881 email me or contact me on social media if you are still having issues
They do Nick try forward tattoo machines Mr Durant Durant. Ok. But they are good machines
By any chance are selling that tattoo power supply been trying to find that one or one similar and can’t find any
Selling machines, hand pokers, and 3d printed machine tuning tools. Don't have any power supplies for sale.
Where would I find these machines and hang pokers

Hey nick! I'm not english and i don't understand the concept of throw, what is that ?
Throw or stroke is the distance the needle travels. When the armature bar is all the way up until it is all the way down. Adjust this to work with your ink. Thin ink doesn't need a lot of throw. Thick ink allows needle to get in that ink more and get it in the skin

I have the same set of machines for the price you can't beat them thomas coil machines there are well built cheap machines
