What gauge spring set up is best for a tattoo machine liner and shader?

Well, when you do line work, your gap on the spring should be the thickness of a dime. And for shading, the thickness of a nickel. Of course, everyone does it different, but this is just for beginning.
-This may be the answer you were looking for but to take the question literally I believe you are asking for the actual gauge of the spring stock. Simply put it is mostly up to your personal tastes as a Tattoo Artist but the general rule of thumb is the thicker the spring the faster it will go, so for example you may use .013 - .018 for a shader and .017- .022 for a liner, you may also change the gauges between the main (back) and timing (front spring) but generally only within .002 eg. .018 main .020 timing.

How do you measure valve stem height?
With a Valve Spring Height Micrometer ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't have one of these tools you can also use what is called a snap gauge. Snap gauges are spring loaded and you can use it to measure the distance from the spring pad to the bottom of the retainer. Then you can measure the end to end distance of the snap gauge with either a dial caliper or a micrometer. Not as fast as the first solution but it is all we had for many years.
