How do you set up a tattoo machine as a liner?

short stroke and run about 6.5v don't need a lot of volts as not using a lot of needles.

set the gap to 1.25mm this is done by depressing the armature bar down and screwing the contact screw until you get the 1.25mm gap between the tip of the contact screw and the front spring. hope this helps.

dime= 1.25mm gap for liner set up

nickel= 1.85mm gap for shading set up

as stated above, make sure the machine is running at smoothly not choppy sounding. If you are a beginner there are tattoo power supplies that will help aid the tuning for you (cyclone 360 etc..) they will show voltage, speed of machine, the misfire.

outline 6.0volts to 8.5volts, 50% on the duty cycle and between 110 - 120 on the cycle and follow throigh at zero 0. info>> http://instores.info
