ytsejam87 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Will the iwata hp-c i1556 cutaway preset handle will work with a iwata eclipse hp-cs? I picked up their triple action handle, without realizing how that stop worked. I was looking for a stop on maximum allowed, not a stop on minimum paint allowed.

Helmsman Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Not sure about hp-c but handle from Gunze Procon Boy PS270 or PS289 does work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ytsejam87 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Helmsman, thanks! Do you know if those preset handles are also cutaway? From the pictures I have seen, I cannot tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 No, they are closed. https://spraygunner.com/handle-for-mr-airbrush-procon-boy/ https://spraygunner.com/needle-adjusting-screw-for-gsi-ps270/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Budzik Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Yes ... they fit. If you're not married to the cutaway design ... I would suggest this Iwata handle instead ... Image is on this video at 2:43 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh4AbXuhXYI these handles have better balance than the cutaway.

I felt that their triple action handle made my eclipse more "nose heavy", than the "original equipment" cutaway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Budzik Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I just edited my post above. When I posted it, I was at the office and was not able to actually verify the compatibility ... but yes they fit. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ytsejam87 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 thank YOU! I just ordered one from merryartist.com price was "right" at $34.95 shipped (USPS 1st class). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ytsejam87 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Amazingly, with all the griping about usps this holday season I received this from Oregon, in south central PA on Christmas eve! Fits like a glove and works nicely. The concept works better for me than the triple action handle, which, wasn't my cup of tea. I do like the concept of pushing the needle "out the front" when cleaning, and the eclipse is more convenient then most AB's to support this. Pulling out the back, as the triple action handle is truly conveniently set up, seems to be counter intuitive, though, you can clean the needle much more frequently, with the triple action's quick release feature.
