Weird chuck nut issue...

LOL well IDK I did find this;
@jagardn ;
I just turn the handle so the holes are facing up/down. That way the knuckle of my finger rides on the rounded edge instead of getting rubbed by the cutout.
Actually, the Infinity has the most useful handle, the needle tension adjustment is exposed so you don't have to remove the handle to use it.
Using that opening to cycle the needle to clear blockages never made sense to me, you can do the same thing by rocking the trigger back and forth with any airbrush.
@Mr.Micron ;
I agree to that but I have had a blockage that just rocking the trigger did not work and I did have to pull the needle all the way back which is only like 1/32 or maybe 1/16 of an inch more. but it got rid of the blockage.
But that is also when I first started and was using regular Createx..

Herb later says he turns the handle up and down too but
doesnt mention exactly why he turns the handle....
Maybe he'll pop in and tell us
I told you yesterday you should work for fbi :D You are better then Leonardo in Catch me if you can :D
 
I did not read all the responses but swap the parts between the two and test. First just the nut and if it still unscrews then the needle shaft as well.
 
I usually screw on handles so the cutout is diagonal (spans at 10:30 and 5:30) for similar reasons. I've never had problems with chucks unscrewing themselves, but I hate how the chuck jogs my finger when pulling back the trigger if my hand is allowed to rest in the cutout.

Funny thing is, the stock handle on the Eclpse doesn't have cutouts. I had to buy that issue by buying the preset handle separately... and I ended up never use the preset knob either, but I still keep it on literally only because I prefer the way the brush balances with the preset handle.

*Edit*: My bad: I forgot the stock Eclipse handle does have cutouts too. Guess that shows how long it's been since I've used it.

I love my cutout handles... just cuz they look cool! If it looks cool, I must be a better painter, right?
Just have to figure out a way to put some LED accent lights in the handle so they glow out of the cutouts. Then maybe a clear air hose with some LEDs in it too. Slap on some carbon fiber look vinyl
 
You don't need lights inside the hose. Jut need it at the ends. The light will travel along the material just like with fibre optics.
Speaking of...Im sure we could work some fiber optics in there somewhere.......oh and maybe a laser site so youll know exactly where your aiming before you pull the trigger.
Maybe make some tiny picatinny rails on it to mount stuff
 
Then just a wild computer case to put the compressor and a manifold in....we'd be all set
Wait wait...exacto blade mounted to one of the picatinny rails
and finally you could see the compressor tank inside the case and it needs a big sticker that says NOS

Not only would you be the ultimate painter , you could pick up on all of the chicks into airbrushing things besides their face......all 5 of them .
 
Lmao I was thinking have a laser that shines thru the nozzle so when you pull the needle back it gets brighter. Haha picatinny rails... Then it would be an assualt airbrush and certain people would want them banned :eek:
