If you know how to tattoo with a thicker powder pigment based ink, you will be stoked, it's super opaque and heals out bright, and can be cut down a bit if need be.....if you don't know how to tattoo with thicker pigment, we recommend trying our Eternal Inks.

Dan Kubin Bronze V3R Sidewinder

"Now with an updated weighted impact screw! I found that it helps with the stability of the hit, and improved overall performance. Also, please note the rubber band position is another simple tuning element. For lower volt operations, or harder hit, position the band pointing slightly up. This will reduce return spring tension thus making it operate better at slower speeds and decreasing the amount of give. Bonus is less strain on the rubber band.

Previous updates to the V3R include adding the coveted DK thumbscrew, moving the impact screw (the most crucial and misunderstood tuning element) to the front end of the armature bar and added a hardened steel impact pin so the machine will be easier to reset, and will hold its tune much longer. I also used a few tricks from the V7 to reduce spitting and make it hit a bit more rigid on the low end and added the backer springs as well to prevent spring breakage.

These updates are in addition to the 2019 updated version which still has the same dependable and proven geometry as the original v3, but now revisited and remastered with subtle differences to improve overall performance. This is the most user friendly Sidewinder yet. The differences, others than aesthetics, is the numbered stroke wheel, an impact screw timing mark on the cam and frame (like the v5-6). Additionally, I did a new spring loaded vice lock setup that effortlessly clamps down your tube. The stroke wheel is indexed in 10 positions, and numbered accordingly." 

Thanks for looking - Dan.

Machine Specs:

• Bronze Black Plated 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 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)

• Numbered 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 Finish Varies Each Batch...some lighter some darker

Machine Setup:

• Standard Needle on Bar: 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.

Bowers Clipcord Repair Kit

Every Bowers Repairable Clipcord comes with a repair kit, if you’ve lost yours or need more parts this is for you.

REPAIR KIT COMES WITH ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO REPAIR YOUR BOWERS CORD....including instructions and extra parts.

Some words from Bowers on why he made these clip cords:

"A couple years ago I designed this clip cord and built one for myself. The design came from being frustrated with the options that were on the market. When I designed these clip cords I had a list of demands.
-This cord HAD to be repairable, quickly and easily.
-lightweight
-no-stick, flexible cord
-brass or copper leads
Every part of the the clip cord end can be replaced or repaired quickly and easily. Even comes with the parts and tools to do it! You will not be left struggling with a short in your cord, no backup and rummaging around looking for your best broken cord to finish or do the tattoo.The cord is a matte non stick material that glides smoothly along surfaces, it is NOT a 5 lb clip cord you’re hooking up to 3 oz. machine, the brass leads will not groove your binding posts nearly as fast as the standard steel leads found on most clip cords. I’m excited about this new product and to able to finally share it with all of you."
