Dan Kubin's Newest Sidewinder, the V46er with RCA + Clip Cord!

• Wider springs for more durability.
• Large, easy to turn, hardened steel stroke wheel. Pre-set stroke range and middle timing mark to prevent the machine from getting too far out of tune when experimenting.
• Hardened alloy steel impact pin. Positioned towards the rear of the frame to help with noise
• Large cam with precise timing mark. Allows for easier, and more precise impact alignment checks
• Smooth, easy clamping tube vice.
• Forward weight distribution for better ergonomics.
• Beautiful brass armature bar, perfectly balanced for a strong, confident, and consistent hit.  
• O-ring groove in the bar allows for a more silent option (though will reduce performance as well)
• Reliable Mabuchi motor. -because they run forever without losing consistency.

Newest of the new, the v7.3 Sidewinder with Black Frame with 24k Gold Plated Hardware and Purple Sideplate insert.

The Sidewinder 7 is the most revolutionary Sidewinder yet.  Now, not only is the supreme liner, it now is cartridge friendly, and great in the lower volt range for shading to color packing, fine line and stippled whip shading techniques.

It now has 5 stroke positions ranging from 3.5-4mm. While tattooing,  hit is controlled with adjustable return spring tension.

The impact screw is now adjustable. This allows for more precise tuning.  It still has an adjustment pin on the frame , which will slightly change the stroke, or allow for a quick impact adjustment.  

The main goal for this batch is for simple tuning for the end user, but with the option/ability to dial it in precisely for those who know how they want their machine to run.

If you want a softer hitting machine, you don’t have to compromise the stroke length.  You can simply adjust the return spring tension on the fly throughout the tattoo.

 Recommended voltage range: 4 - 6.5

weight: 5.97 oz/5.97 grams

*keep in mind that the weight is very forward, low and balanced. This said, even with a weight of 5.97 oz, there is very little strain on the wrist.

Introducing the Remastered Swingliner!  

Expect more performance, reliability, and ergonomics.

Like its predecessor, the polarity of the clipcord determines if the hit is harder or softer. The difference being that the hit is now much crispier and precise.  It has a nice give to it to accompany the crispy punch, making for a very efficient yet non-invasive hit.

The Ergonomics have been greatly increased by  lowering the center of gravity, and shifting the mass to the front of the machine.

Since the first incarnation of the Swingliner, followed by the DMC, I have learned many tricks and much more about the unique cam concept to bring you the most dependable, simple to use, high performance cartridge machine yet!

No nipples, no rubber bands, no tuning, no bullshit.  

weight: approx. 4oz/110 grams
