Workhorse Irons x Sidnaw Company Tattoo Machine Tool Roll!

After many years of discussion, some back and forth, and a few prototypes, our Tattoo Machine Tool Roll is here and we couldn't be happier with the way they turned out!

Made locally by our friends at Sidnaw Company (formerly Mercy Supply), these Tool Rolls are made for use with the tools most artists use to maintain their tattoo machines. Designed for organization, versatility, and built for durability. Inside there are multiple slots and a large gusseted pocket with an internal zippered front, plus two smaller button pockets for small parts and hardware. The body is made with 20oz waxed canvas.

Specs:

• Dimensions when closed: 11 x 6.5 x 2in
• 20oz USA 100% Cotton Waxed Canvas
• USA Harness Leather
• Steel Buckles
• Hand Hammered Copper Rivets
• USA YKK Zipper

 

Available With or Without Tools - if ordered with Tools the roll includes the following:

• Armature Bar Fixture
• Alignment Tool
• Wiss Spring Snips
• Wurth Premium Spring Punch
• Spring Stock ( 6 feet of 3/4" and 6 feet of 1/2")
• Hex and Torx Key Set (9/64 Allen Key, 5/64 Allen Key, T25 Torx Key, T20 Torx Key, T15 Torx Key)

Care:

 

Our waxed canvas is simply a duck canvas with wax-impregnated cotton yarns. This results in a fabric that’s as strong as duck canvas with an added layer of protection against water, wind and agitation.

Waxed canvas bags and garments can be used for months (even years) without requiring care. When caring for waxed canvas, avoid machine washing and submerging in water. Spot cleaning or hosing off the product is recommended. Hang dry only. Re-wax after prolonged use with an all-natural fabric wax to maintain weather resistance.

Dan Kubin Weighted Impact Screw Kit

"New 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."

Thanks - Dan

Weighted Impact Kit Specifications:

• Upgrade for Dan Kubin V3R with updated armature bar (Late 2019 to 2022)
  
• Custom heat treated tool steel RHC 60 plus o-ring
• Easy swap out to increase the hit while improving the overall feel and sound
• Kit also includes both the 1.5mm and 2mm L wrench

Upgrade Step by Step: (see pictures for guidance)

1. Use the 1.5mm wrench to loosen the set screw on the side of the armature bar. Half a turn should loosen it enough to easily remove the impact screw.
2. Hold down the armature bar and use the 2mm wrench to remove the old impact screw.
3. Once removed, use the 1.5mm wrench to insert and tighten the weighted impact screw down until the o-ring starts to bulge out as it makes contact with the top of the armature.
4. Tuning - this is the most important step and will effect the timing and stroke of your machine.
1. While holding the armature bar down, roll the cam back until it makes contact with the vertical spring and gently stops. In this position the timing mark on the cam should align with the center of the timing mark on the frame.
2. If the timing mark on the cam is on the low side of the timing mark on the frame, tighten the weighted impact a little until it raises up to the center of the timing mark on the frame.
3. If the timing mark on the cam is on the high side, the impact is too far in and needs to be backed out (loosened) until the timing mark on the cam is in the center of the timing mark on the frame.
5. Use the 1.5mm wrench to tighten the set screw on the side of the armature bar.
6. Your machine is now upgraded and ready to use. One note would be that the new impact works well with the rubber band pulled slightly higher on the needle bar so it is perpendicular when the armature is in the down position.
