Artisan - clarification required

[Tom_W]

I am busy reading this forum before a purchase. I have two clarifications required.

Can a Artisan be configured to run of a CO2 or diving bottle?
Does a package deal exist for the Artisan in the same way as it does for the Classic and Palm?

Cheers and in anticipation of the responses.

Hi Tom, Yes, the Artisan can run the same way as the Classic with the CO2 bottles and yes, we could do a package for the Aritisan the same as the Classic foot pedal set. The set would be $400 less than the Classic set.

The difference between the Classic and Artisan is the stroke collar. The stroke collar on the Classic provides the power of several sized handpieces in one. It is similar to setting the back swing of a hammer hitting a punch. It can be set at a short back swing or longer one. The PSI flow through the foot pedal or PalmControl controls the power and speed within a given stroke length setting. Think of it similar to gears in a car. Set it in first gear (short stroke) and you have good low end delicate control... or set it in fifth gear and you can cut much deeper than in first gear. We can still cut delicate lines in fifth gear but it is easier to cut delicate lines in first gear. If thinking about this analogy with a car, then the Artisan is fixed in 3rd gear.
