Seth Ciferri – Workhorse Irons

Seth Ciferri – Workhorse Irons

i'm seth ciferriand i've been building tattoo machines for professional tattooers since 1994 in 1993 i began tattooing and started messing with my machines shortly thereafter. one thing led to another, and soon i was building and tuning machines for my friends, co-workers and peers. focusing on the technical aspects of

Seth Ciferri Cholomatic™ Liner V2

Updated version of Seth's only machine built and designed as a dedicated single needle liner for fine line work. New updated version includes shorter geometry utilizing his steel slide vise from his Doorbell machines on a very lightweight Aluminum frame. These are by far the best version yet, they are more compact with less weight, plus a chunky steel vise to reduce noise and vibration.

Seth Ciferri Doorbell Liner!

Technical Specs:

  • Laser Cut and Bent Steel English Doorbell Reproduction Frame
  • Welded Spring Shelf
  • Bolt on Deluxe Steel Vise with Slide Mechanism to lock tight on any tube
  • Highly Durable, Oxidation Resistant Blackened Finish
  • NEW Weighted Armature with Extra Thick Nipple
  • NEW Narrow Stainless Rear Spring
  • Deluxe Brass Binders
  • Thick Base for better conductivity and less heat
  • 1 8 Wrap Custom Coils
  • Medium Speed with a Solid Hit
  • Running 125-130 Hz at 6V Unloaded
  • Pushing 3's to 14's No Problem
  • Weighing in at a compact and balanced 7 ounces with weight over hand and little cord pull
  • As always, MADE IN THE USA

Here are a few words from Seth on this new machine:

This is a frame style I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and finally got around to making it happen. Based almost entirely on an English doorbell I found at a flea market, with exact geometry, it hits HARD and can push any liner grouping on very low voltage and amps. PLUS I added in a new vise lock mechanism that holds any  tubes.

The response to these new doorbell liners has been overwhelming and exciting. It’s been a long time since I’ve designed and built a machine that gets me this hyped!

I think I’ve cracked the code on this one, my friends. Compact and sturdy, built to last a lifetime.

I couldn't be happier with how they've turned out.

A Few Words From Seth about this machine:
Woooooo damn these little dudes hit HARD. Weighing a mere 5.3 oz and CNC cut from a solid block of aluminum, they’re built to push the big stuff, from 7 on up. The common shortcomings of aluminum frames have been eliminated, with a steel insert at the clipcord connection, and beefy side plate with nice smooth radii where it meets the base and spring shelf, making this frame just as stiff as iron. 8 layer shorty coils stay nice and cool while pushing those baggy 18 liners all damn day. The guillotine style vise with hold any tube, steel or plastic.



Seth Ciferri Modern Classic Shader!

After many years, Seth has given his Classic Liner and Shader some major updates, reworking the entire frame and geometry to create this Modern Classic. With sculpted curves, various subtractions and additions, these aluminum frames are done right so there is no extra twang or vibration. Leaving the user with a highly functional, lightweight, forward balanced machine, easy on the wrist and appealing to the eyes. An all around Workhorse with a modern touch.

Technical Specs:

  • Lightweight CNC Cut Aluminum Frame
  • Highly Durable, Oxidation Resistant Anodized Finish
  • Deluxe Blackened Steel Hardware, including Pinch Tightening Front Binder and Inlaid Steel Rear Binder for a Better Connection
  • Side Facing Guillotine Vise, great for use with Disposable and Steel Tubes
  • Inlaid 1/4 Iron Coil Yoke for Better Performance and Less Vibration
  • 1 10 Wrap T-top Coils
  • Medium Speed with a Solid Hit
  • Running 105-110 Hz at 6V Unloaded
  • Pushing 5's to 11's No Problem
  • Weighing in at a mere 5.5 ounces!
  • As always, MADE IN THE USA

Here are a few words from Seth on the evolution of his Classic:

In 2003, when BJ and I founded Workhorse Irons, we each had one model available! The frame style I chose was based on what we've come to know as the Coleman style frame, popularized by Paul Rogers, and many who came after, recognizing the versatility and functionality of it's geometry. With a few simple adjustments, just about any type of liner or shader can be set up with relative ease. We called it the Classic, in acknowledgment of it's well-established lineage.
As thousands of the Classic liners and shaders made their way into the hands of tattooers; beginning, established, and everywhere in between, we've been given incredible amounts of feedback about what you have come to desire in an everyday workhorse. Over the years, we've employed a handful of different materials for these machines, mostly cast iron, with some limited editions in brass, aluminum, 3 piece pre-fab frames in steel, and eventually CNC machined blocks of 10-00 iron.
Rather than aiming to produce a machine that adheres to the aesthetic and expectations of old-school tattooing, this time we've addressed numerous shortcomings of the average iron, and have designed a pair of machines with the intent of making them a pleasure to use. Clipcord position and simple vise operation became priorities. If the clipcord can't maintain a solid connection while you work, then your job becomes tedious and annoying. If your vise can't hold any tube, or requires the use of extra tools to get them in and out of the machine, then you're wasting valuable time and energy that could be spent making money.
We wanted to create a tool that's lightweight and balanced, yet rigid and strong enough to stay tuned. With an extra-deep pocket for an extra-thick steel yoke, and a drop vise, we've worked around the issue of frame height dictating which tubes are long enough to accommodate standard length needles, and we've placed enough ferrous mass under your magnets to keep them fired up on low voltage, hitting as hard as you want, all day.
Aluminum frames tend to wear at the connections, so we've added a steel insert for long-lasting and dependable clipcord contact. (again, that connection is so important!) To ensure proper alignment, we've added a recessed channel in the spring shelf, and a mated steel cover that sits flush with the front edge, as well as the top.
These aren't tricks, but deliberate updates, each made with the tattooer in mind. The Modern Classic is designed for comfort and dependability, and is suitable for use with virtually any grouping. Start off on low voltage, then dial up as you see fit to get the saturation you're after, at the hand-speed you choose.
