Question for Badger 100LG Owners

The tube shank should be fully screwed into the body (keep going until it stops), then gently push the needle in until it stops. Don't force it, or you run the risk of deforming the tip. I use a twisting action to insure it fully seats against the tip. When in place the end sticks out a scant 3/16" according to my Mark I eyeball.

 

Thank you Bgrigg. I have installed it according to your instructions. I have about 3/16" on on rear end and about an 1/16 - 1/8" at the front end. Just curious, do you also tighten the rear-most thumb screw? It seems to lock the the needle in place.

You're welcome!

Absolutely, that's what locks the needle in place. Don't tighten it too much, finger tight will be good enough.

The 100LG is a great airbrush, that if properly maintained will last a lifetime.

Thanks again. Can't wait to test it out. Case closed.
