ISM How to Straighten & Fix a Bent Airbrush Needle Tutorial

I've now used this technique twice to straighten the needle on my Badger 155 Anthem (no tip guard at all - the needle just pokes out several millimeters and is very vulnerable)...so I thought it was time I properly thanked you for posting this gem of a tip Lee! It's allowed me to keep working instead of shutting things down for a week or two while waiting for a replacement needle to ship to me. Brilliant!

Cheers,

Nice video...Lee

if you guys are worried about bumping your needles ?? why not loosen the chuck and
draw back the needle just a tad (while in storage) or parked for a few days... in between jobs.

I do !

Drawing the needle back, could save you from accidental bumps...
once again... thanks Lee for the video....

The Ultimate buffer is also handy for getting stubborn dried paint off the needle and for repairing minor scratching on the needle.
