A Few Words From Joshua about this machine:
This is a very powerful and capable machine. It has real nice stroke characteristics, nice and snappy with the perfect amount of bog. The best machine if you're wanting to use one machine for lining, shading, or both. Designed for use with cartridges but is equally effective running needle and tube setup. It has a nice snappy powerful stroke that will drop in nice single pass lines with large or small groupings. As a shader, turn the voltage down to slow the speed and still have that punch to drop in solid color or blend with very low trauma.

Some words from Bowers on why he made these clip cords:

"A couple years ago I designed this clip cord and built one for myself. The design came from being frustrated with the options that were on the market. When I designed these clip cords I had a list of demands.
-This cord HAD to be repairable, quickly and easily.
-lightweight
-no-stick, flexible cord
-brass or copper leads
Every part of the the clip cord end can be replaced or repaired quickly and easily. Even comes with the parts and tools to do it! You will not be left struggling with a short in your cord, no backup and rummaging around looking for your best broken cord to finish or do the tattoo.The cord is a matte non stick material that glides smoothly along surfaces, it is NOT a 5 lb clip cord you’re hooking up to 3 oz. machine, the brass leads will not groove your binding posts nearly as fast as the standard steel leads found on most clip cords. I’m excited about this new product and to able to finally share it with all of you."

Introducing the Steeldriver. After over a year of design and testing the Steeldriver is ready. It has proven to be an incredibly capable liner and shader with cartridges and needle tube setup. The stroke characteristics of the Steeldriver are different than the other Bowers models in that it takes the stroke philosophy and mechanical give to the next level. The Steeldriver is more snappy off the tip than any other Bowers machine, it still has that mechanical give that keeps you from feeling like you’re skating on thin ice when lining but it’s ability to drop in lines and color equally well off the tip, middle and back of the stroke are second to none.

The Steeldriver design builds off the phenomenon of the cam quarters as mentioned in my book “The Right Tool For The Job”. This is where I explain that rotary machines have a tendency to want to push skin away from the needles as they are coming down because the needles are slowing down on that last quarter of the cams rotation. Rather than punching the needles in like a coil machine they ease in to the skin. The SC Bobber and the Micro Bobber have both been successful at engineering around this phenomenon but the Steeldriver goes a few steps further and eliminates that last quarter of the stroke altogether, the needles come to a complete stop at terminal velocity. What that gives you is an incredibly balanced and controlled stroke that is more capable of lining off the tips of the needles with both large and small groupings. As a shader the Steeldriver punches ink in to the skin with great efficiency. Black and gray as well as other softer techniques can be achieved with the Steeldriver through practice as well.

Ultimately I engineered the Steeldriver to incorporate the best aspects of well tuned coil machines and rotaries together. It is more coil like than any of the other Bowers machines besides my Steeldriver coils, which is why it shares their name. The Steeldriver is plug and play, it’s designed for anyone coming from either coils or rotaries to be able to hook it up and be comfortable with the machine with very little adaptation time.
