**EARLY RELEASE 

 Workhorse x Good Judy Deluxe ECO Needles on Bar

Together we will make a difference. WORKHORSE IRONS & GOOD JUDY INC. have collaborated on these needles to bring tattooers the quality products you know, with the check of sustainability you can rely on. Our certifications always come from internationally recognized third party organizations.

This packaging is unbleached, PFAS Free, fully compostable and recyclable. This is just the beginning of our commitment to environmental protection.

Tried and true, high quality traditional needles on bar. Groupings similar to our standard needles, but a little more dialed in with some heavier needle bars and more qc checks for greater consistency.

Designed by tattoo artists for tattoo artists. We have been producing needles for about 20 years now, slowly improving our quality and configurations. We have found the sweet spot and could not be happier with the current quality of our pre-made needles on bar.

Specs:

• #12 Needles on all Traditional Groupings
• #10 Needles on all Tight Groupings / Bugpins
• Made with High Quality 316L Japanese Steel Needles plus Heavy Duty Thicker Needle Bars for greater stability 
• Easy open slide box
• All packaging is unbleached, PFAS free and compostable

We have been working on these needles for a year to dial in the overall quality while also ensuring all packaging meets standards for compostability. It has not been easy or inexpensive, but we are very happy with the results!

We are committed to creating, representing, and releasing more eco tattoo products. We believe it is imperative that eco tattooing becomes the norm and that single use plastic becomes a thing of the past.This is another major step in this direction and we look forward to a more eco friendly future one product at a time.

*please let us know if we don't have any groupings you need and we will add them to the line up

Dan Kubin 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:

• Limited Verdigris Patina Brass Frames (*Finish may vary)
  
• 24k Gold Plated Parts and Motor Cap
• 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 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.
