Spring Gauge |
|
Your spring tension gauge has been calibrated with a Tattoo Machine specific Jonard dial caliper tension gauge and is as accurate/ precise within its range. Your gauge has been marked and sealed at its fittings. In addition, locktite was used on the screw threads to insure a long lasting calibration. Do not unscrew the fittings.Typical tension for springs on tattoo machines are as follows:
Liner machines 380 - 440grams
Liner shader 440 - 480grams
Shader & Color machine 400 - 440grams
Shader only B&G/ Blend machines 440 - 480grams
Color machines 360 - 400grams
To use your new spring tension gauge properly follow diagram below. (1) Apply pressure here. (2) "L" end of gauge at the end edge of the front of the armature bar. (3) Center of spring indicator is location of exact measurement. Use the center of the spring against markings on gauge. (4) gauge indicator must be straight & parallel when making measurements. * when applying pressure to handle look at armature bar, as soon as it makes contact with front coil, take measurement. More pertinent information on advanced machine tuning and tattooing can be found in my book, “The Secret to Life: Tattooing Information.”
