Dan Kubin MCi (Mini Cranker with Impact)!

Step up your tattoo game with the new DK MCi – a plug-and-play remastered version of Dan's Mini Cranker from 2011. Updated and refined, it's designed for precision and ease of use, whether you're using a needle on bar or cartridges. With its wide range of versatility and solid hit, it's a must-have for any tattoo artist.

Highlights:

• Steel Frame with HD Light Pink Powder Coat Finish
  
• Weighted Brass Armature
• Deluxe Kubin Components including DK Thumbs and updated Slide Vise
• Great for Lining and Shading with small to medium groupings, turn voltage up and down for speed and hit adjustment as needed
• Higher voltage between 5 - 7 Volts for most Lining
• Lower Voltage between 3.5 - 5 Volts for most Shading, Color Packing, and Stipple Work

Setup / Specifications:

• Works well with Standard Needle on Bar AND with Cartridges
• Possible to run with Cartridges without any adjustment or tricks, but if you pull your rubber band over the armature it will increase the snap at the tip
• This machine is cartridge friendly, but best to use lower tension cartridges if going that route. (Workhorse Eco Carts and Non Membrane Carts work well with these machines)
• Polarity is not crucial, but will run slightly more efficiently with Positive Down
• The impact screw can be backed off all the way, but ideal to still have a little impact to reduce motor shaft strain
• Turning the impact screw in too much will result in stalling the machine or putting too much strain on the motor.  
• Ideal impact is about 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise from the point of zero impact. 

Use and Care:

• Please refer to the MCi setup video on my YouTube channel for further clarification - See Link Below
  
• After a few years, the bearings may dry up. You may use A SINGLE DROP of sewing machine oil on the bearings.  DO NOT FILL THE MOTOR WITH OIL!!
• Keep sterilants away from all moving and electrical components! Sterilants are corrosive and will damage your machine if used carelessly.

Made in the USA

A few words From Joshua about this machine:
This is a very powerful and capable machine. It has real nice stroke characteristics, nice and snappy with the perfect amount of bog. The best machine if you're wanting to use one machine for lining, shading, or both. Designed for use with cartridges but is equally effective running needle and tube setup. It has a nice snappy powerful stroke that will drop in nice single pass lines with large or small groupings. As a shader, turn the voltage down to slow the speed and still have that punch to drop in solid color or blend with very low trauma.
