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 24k Gold Plated Frame and Hardware
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!
