Special Limited Edition Biomech Dan Kubin V3/24 Sidewinder carved by Aaron Cain!

Highlights:

• Custom Aaron Cain Hand Carved Bio-Mech Brass Frame, Armature, and Motor Cover with custom patina finish (carving varies a little on each machine)
  
• Limited Edition of 2
• Polished Brass Frame with Black Hardware (*Finish may vary)
  
• DK Thumbscrew, new Armature Bar, and updated Stroke Wheel for improved performance
• The renowned rotary liner.  Effortlessly sink any size line by just grazing the skin.
• The motor is the same as the  V2-V4 and V7 Sidewinder, which has proven the test of time.  It has been a favorite of the long time Sidewinder collectors.
• Vice-Lock that easily tightens on nearly any tube
• Great for all varieties of Line Work or as a Fast Shader/Packer
  
• Timing mark on the cam and frame for setting the impact screw. (Just like the V5 and V6)

• Marked stroke dial so you can easily play with the stroke without fear of losing that sweet spot.  You can’t make it too long or too short

Machine Setup:

• Standard Needle on Bar:
  • Needle Bar Tensioner - when setting up your needle and tube, position needle tensioner in desired position depending on the amount of tension you want to add to the needle bar. Adjust position by loosening the thumbscrew and then tightening when you reach desired tension. 
  • Rubber Band alternative setup - Loosen / remove thumbscrew to take the needle tensioner off. Then when setting up the machine, wrap a thick rubber band around the motor cap and across the front of the machine to add needle bar tension. It is recommended that you use Thick Rubber Bands and Dan's Perfect Nipples. 
    
• Cartridges: wrap a rubber band around the motor cap and over the top of the armature bar to counteract the cartridge's upward tension. Thick or standard rubber bands both work, it will just depend on the tension of the cartridge membrane or band to determine with rubber band provides the proper counter resistance.

Description:

The most significant update to the V3/24 Sidewinder is the added (and optional) Needle Bar Tensioner. This added tensioner eliminates the need to use a Rubber Band, improving all around machine performance and results. Tensioner reduces spitting and increases power. These machines can be used with or without the Tensioner, it is detached by simply removing the thumbscrew and taking it off the machine. 

Aside from the added Needle Bar Tensioner, this new version of remastered V3 Sidewinder is dialed in and updated with various improvements to increase machine longevity and consistency. 

The V3/24 follows the same concept as the past V3r, but with a focus on what makes a Sidewinder a Sidewinder.  Hard hitting, effortless, and zippy.  -Intended for experienced artists who don’t want to mess around.

Aaron Cain Copper Tools now available!

Based off Aaron's hand carved Copper Tools, we worked with Aaron on designing a version we could cut and CNC mill to add some extra shape and depth to them, while also keeping them affordable. These tools were a lot of work, but a fun project and very useful a daily carry addition. They work great as a bottle opener, door opener, button pusher, defense mechanism, or really any other creative purpose. Copper is naturally antimicrobial, making it a great material for insulating oneself from high touch surfaces that may contain harmful microbes and disease.

Specs:

• Cut from 1/4" Copper
• Milled, Chamfered, Sanded, Tumbled, Stamped, and Lightly Polished
• 2.5" x 5" Overall Dimension
• Oblong 1.25" x 1.125" Finger Hole
• Limited Run
