Veritas MFG A-Frame Standard Shader Machine

Built for smooth saturation and controlled shading, the Veritas MFG A-Frame Standard Shader combines a classic Coleman/Victory-inspired frame profile with dependable modern tuning. Finished in polished chrome and built around oversized 1.25" coils with 3/8" cores, this machine delivers a strong, consistent pull while maintaining a balanced feel in the hand.

Tuned to run low and smooth, the A-Frame Shader is designed for artists looking for a traditional-style machine capable of steady black and grey work, soft shading, and solid color packing without excessive weight or harshness.

The undercut collet tube vice provides a secure tube fit while keeping the frame profile clean and compact. Paired with a silicon bronze contact screw and brass hardware, this machine is built for reliable conductivity and long-term durability at the workstation.
