New Z60, Z61 & Z61E Products to
help you do a top quality job faster.
What's the difference between a Z61 and a Z61E?
Answer: THE MAIN USE. Basically, the Z61E is a Z61 without the Sousa rods
and accessories but, WITH the Z61-11 Tuba Arm. (See explanation below.)
Don't forget to use the
Z6 synthetic lubricant with every job, whether using the machine or not.
Helps avoid unnecessary scratches and
drag.
Saves the lacquer, your tool surfaces and your arm; for another day.
Mandatory for
use with the Z61-13 Aluminum Balls.
Make it mandatory for
YOU, too!
The Z60 dent machine is the
top portion of a complete dent machine. There are two bottoms; one for
sousaphone work (Z61) and the other for tuba work (Z61E). There is no
cost difference.
The Z61 and Z61E are the available bases to do specific
low brass work depending on what is generally used in your geographic area or
what you prefer working on.
If, you DO NOT INTEND to do low brass work, other than the bell and
straight portions of the branches, we would recommend your using the New Z61S
Floor mount stand, 9" X 9" (a 22.86cm square) base flange or the Newest Z60S Bench mount stand
6" X 6" (a 15.24cm square) base flange.
These new stands hold the main Z60 part that does most of the work, firmly and at
the proper height, for ease of operation. They also allow for full
rotation of the Z60.
If you call,
Ferree's will make either of these stands to fit the operator. This way the
Z60 will be at the perfect height for
you to be at your best. As a rule of thumb, when you are
standing up, your elbow should line up with the main working rod. There is no extra charge for this service.
The Z61 is
outfitted with 3 steel rods that are intended to do sousaphone branches. The
Z61E is outfitted with the New Z61-11 adjustable rod to do tuba bottom bows. It is necessary to do
a good job to acquire the optional Z61-13S Aluminum Ball Set which consists of 4
balls of, 2.75" (69.85mm), 3" (76.2mm), 3.25" (82.55mm) and 3.5" (88.9mm). Use of Z6
lubricant is mandatory with these balls.
If you are going to do both sousa and tuba work, the most economical way to purchase
the machine is to order the Z61E base and add just the Z61-1 and Z61-2 rods from
the Z61 setup. The work done by the remaining rod can be done by the Z61-11 which is
included with the Z61E base. Just tell us
what you want to accomplish and we will be sure you have the right set up,
without duplication.
We are always improving our tools with little
volkswagen changes, and the Z60 is over 40 years young
and still getting better, year after year. Many others copies have failed after
short production time. Additionally, every tool and accessory built today will fit ANY Z60 EVER
MADE. We still have the first one ever built, for testing!
Blend about 2oz. of this
with your 16 oz. jar of petroleum jelly and WOW!
This new adjustable arm makes it possible to use the power and smooth
finish properties
of the Z60,61 Dent Machine on bottom tuba bows with less
effort while saving you time as well.
New hard aluminum balls were designed exclusively for use with the Z61-11
Tuba Arm. These Balls are NOT
intended to be hammered on!
They provide more coverage in the dented area for a smoother contour and
help preserve the original size and shape of the area.
Use of the Z6 Synthetic Lubricant and petroleum jelly
is mandatory when using these Aluminum Balls.
This rod is updated to receive a new harder 5/8" bayonet slug
for use
with the new power discs as well as all the other Ferree's
accessories.
the rod will also accept the new optional
3/8" and 1/2"threaded inserts for
using the N80C,D, & E
balls you already have.
