Sorry i don't have a regular online store. I know this makes things harder. We sell the machines as soon as we make them, so it's hard to build up any inventory at all.
We pretty much just make one style of machine at a time. When I have 10 employees this will change a lot ha ha. So, the machines right now are looking like this:
Cam/Slingshot(Index) style machine in brass and aluminum(CSLSSP) - This machine(see photo) has a low torque swiss motor turned around backwards. The armature pivots like a see saw. A cam lobe pushes the back end of the see saw up and 2 springs push it back down. You have to adjust the springs and also run your rubber bands just right. It's easy.

Cam/Slingshot(Index) rotary machine in Delrin/Acetal plastic polymer(CSLSXUL) - The Cam/Slingshot in Delrin is incredibly light, around 80-90 grams. Combined with a disposable tube, you will hardly notice this tool while you are using it. The plastic is hand milled from a block(we buy scraps) and won't ever change. A machine this light requires you to push with your hand more. Most people like this feeling.
Upcoming machine projects include a collaboration with a machine building GIANT(May 2011), and some more of our very popular Slingshot rotaries(June 2011). Both of these machines will involve using a Drive Bar to power the armature. The Cam/Slingshot does not make use of a Drive Bar. Both styles tattoo well and feel nice to both artist and client. I recommend you pick up one of EVERY style we make :]
