NEW Dan Kubin V3/23 Sidewinder!

"The V3/23 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.

The 23 model is more reminiscent of the original V3r from 2019, but with some enhancements in the tuning longevity. 

We stripped it down a little more, and added in the extra performance.
The stroke wheel has been simplified with having 3 timing marks instead of numbers. The marks are of different lengths, with the longest mark signifying the longer stroke range, a middle mark that is the default setting, and a short mark to signify the shorter stroke range.

The sound of the machine has been enhanced in comparison to the 2nd and 3rd variation V3r. Plus the machine now sits a little lower, providing more ergonomics."

Thanks for looking - Dan.

RCA Specifications:

• RCA version is wired for the harder hit mode only using RCA connection. If using a clip cord on this version, they are wired opposite of the standard clip cord version, use Positive side DOWN for hard hit, Positive up for a more muted hit.
• This RCA motor housing was designed around a Critical Universal battery pack, but fits with most battery packs I have tried, such as Musotoku, Ink Claw, and Papa.
• This will also work good with a right-angle RCA cord.
• Clip Cord option still works, it is just wired backwards.
• The position of the battery makes the machine’s balance point much more forward, like a pen.

Machine Specs:

• 24k Gold Plated Brass Frame and Motor Cover with Black Hardware (*Finish may vary)
• Featherweight Aluminum version provides the same performance weighing in a couple ounces less than the Brass version at about 3.9 ounces
• 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: 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.
  

V3R and V3/23 Sidewinders are engineered, designed, and tested by Dan, milled in his most trusted machine shop in Kansas City, then built by DK certified trained technicians at the Workhorse facility in Michigan. All other models are built by Dan and his team in Kansas City. V3/23s go through rigorous QC checks and are all ran through our testing machine to lightly break in. One year warranty on all models. V3R and V3/23 are serviced by Workhorse, all others are serviced by Dan or one of his certified technicians found on his website.

**Do not connect power to the RCA plug and Clip Cord connection at the same time, it may cause damage to your power supply, battery, and or machine.

NEW 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.

Specs:

• Steel Frame with HD Light Pink Powder Coat Finish
  
• Weighted Brass Armature
• Deluxe Kubin Components including DK Thumbs and updated Slide Vise

Setup / Usage:

• 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)
• 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
• 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.

Enjoy!
