A Sailor Professional Fountain pen, very smooth. Hard to find ones that work for lefties but i had this set up for it.
How is it? I am thinking about getting a Sailor FP since they are supposedly the smoothest writers for the price.
It lists and sells for over $1,000. It's a leather sewing machine. I picked up a used one today because it needs to be adjusted and tuned up. Paid: $100.
I'm sorry, explain to my why you would need a fountain pen? Or a expensive pen in the first place?
I just use the super fine needle pens and that's all I use.

Uhhh, leather work. Maybe ill have to PM you sometime when you get situated about some work being dont. And, how the heck do you adjust a sawing machine?
I am a student thus I write all day so I think the cost is justified. It makes writing a joy if that makes any sense. I have a Hero 329 and a Lamy Studio currently. The $50 for the Studio is justified IMO but it still isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be.
Actually, if a machine gets out of adjustment, it is referred to as "being out of time." When a machine is at that level, the rotating components down under the plate (bobbin, feeder, etc.) are not in synch with the needle when it goes down in the plate to try to mate with the bobbin thread to make a stitch. The components under the plate are adjustable so that the rotation will synchronize with the needle so a good stitch can be made and the machine can keep consistently making stitches as one sews. If the adjustment is off - even by 1/8", things can go wrong and the machine will not sew correctly.
I can be easy for a machine to become "out of time." Typically, shops that have industrial machines have some sort of service plan with local industrial machine repair services where they get periodic tune-ups to keep their machines operating at their peak performance.
At the moment, I'm currently up to 4 industrial machines. I'm going to keep 2 of them. The other two - which are both on industrial sewing tables and have 1/2 HP motors, are being rebuilt and refinished, which I will then sell off. Those two machines - A singer and a Pfaff, are really workhorses and can capably sew lighter garment leather. However, the motor needs to be slowed down a bit (smaller pulley at the motor level or the purchase of a $120 servo motor), will allow these machines to work better for homeowners. In their current state, they are meant for high-speed production work in a factory where they operate many hours a day to turn out many garments.
I'm a writing student and barely use a pen. Maybe I need to try one out to see what it's like.
You should. Something basic like a Lamy Studio or a Hero 329 could spark up interest.
