A few words from Adam on his history with this machine:
"I think most of you know that I've been making a version of this machine since about 1999, but, I don't know how many of you really know the story of how this machine came to be…

In mid 1999, the first Pitbull outliners were made by chopping down some bulldog shaders. They ran a bit slow and punchy for what I'd call an outliner, but, they definitely did the job. Over the years, there have been a few iterations of this machine, and almost all of them were based on, basically, cutting up a shader and, either making due with the geometry, or adjusting the geometry.

What we have here is the new version I designed for Workhorse Irons. This machine is based on the dedicated geometry that I've wanted for this machine since, just about, day one. It lends itself to a few different liner configurations without needing to apply any hocus-pocus. Small groupings? Sure. Medium groupings? Yes. Big, fat, ig'nunt-ass outlines? Fuck yeah-continually, since 1999! This machine has a great range, but is basically set up to make big fucking outlines, quickly."
Respectfully, Adam C

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.

Machine Specs:

• Verdigris Patina Plated Brass Frame with matching Verdigris Motor Cover (*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 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.

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:

• Bio mech hand carved Brass Frame and Armature with custom patina finish (carving varies a little on each machine)
  
• DK Thumbscrew, new Armature Bar, and updated Stroke Wheel for improved performance
