OK, so we got a Micky Sharpz Iron T-Dial shader in today. We hooked it up to the Eikon EMS 200. But the readings were not on par with what they should be! When the machine is purring like it should the speed is above 120 in the realm of a liner. When we turn the voltage up to lower the speed (between 100-110), the machine sounds like it's ripping hard. We even tried to make some adjust,ents to the back spring to apply more pressure to the front spring, and thus affecting speed.
I know the machine is used, but humor me for a second...I was under the assumption that machines such as a Sharpz were tuned at the factory to run properly. Even the previous owner of this machine said it ran properly. Why are these machines that are used by professionals not registering the correct number son our power supply? Are they just set-up by ear? I'd really appreciate those of you who work in shops chiming in on this subject. -------------------- Stay humble.
