What is a cutback tattoo machine?

Answer 1

get an apprenticeship and find out

yes an aprenticeship would always be the way to go ,unfortunately many experiences artists do not understand much more about geometry and metalurgy much less elctromagnetics then does the novice artist, if you want too gain a wealth of machine building knoweldge get too know a real machine builder a guy whom builds them form the ground up and designs complex elctromagnetics for them ,to answer the question however ,

the cutback refers to an altered geomtery machine ,instead of creating a purist liner frame and a purist shader frame ,for certain designs builders cam out with the "standardized or hybrid geometry " it is commonly seen on alot of todays better machines including many from sharpz and s and s custom irons ,etc, anyways the cutback refers too moving back the front binder hole in order too gain a purist liners geometry and as i said it isnt always perfectly done ,.however it generally will allow the user too create an incredibly fast machine ,can one do this too a purist shader frame ,,yes ,,but the distance from the rear of the abar too the front of the spring deck willbe allwrong for the application ,same goes for anyone thinking of creating a cutback liner out of a traditional liner frame ,,you can ,,and guys do ,,but why ,,youll have too rake out the contact so hard too get any sort of timiong spring on it it willbe rendered usless in my opinion and in the opinion of those in the industry i work with , hope this helps ,this is in no way a complete essay or desctri-ption and isnt intended too replace in anyway the oral tradition ,but if you get achance give my book ,the tattoo machine builders bible "a guide too sacred machine geometry ,metalurgy and electromagnetics a try .,..it is a hundred fold better then any technical manual available on the subject and is very very advanced and full of cutting edge technical info and how to ,,if you can find it grab it .t6hey are rare and only in the hands of pros ,,but if you are lucky enough too see a copy ,,read it you will not be able too set it down if you love building i am certain of it ,,thanx for listenting chris spearrin ,co founder of s and s custom irons ,owner of tatlab usa
