Dan Kubin Sidewinder 46er - Polished Nickel RCA + Clip Cord

$1,015.00 USD

Dan Kubin's Newest Sidewinder, the V46er!

The 46er is a culmination of my versions 4-6 Sidewinders, remastered and enhanced to perfection. This machine features a very large stroke adjustment range that can suite single needle work, all the way up to the largest liners and mag shaders.

This machine is very strong off the tip with a great follow-through. Its number one purpose is as a strong, precise, off the tip liner; though it has proven to be much more capable.

Highlights:

Polished Nickel Plated Frame and Matching Motor Cover with Nickel Plated Deluxe DK Components.
Wider springs for more durability.
Large, easy to turn, hardened steel stroke wheel. Pre-set stroke range and middle timing mark to prevent the machine from getting too far out of tune when experimenting.
Hardened alloy steel impact pin. Positioned towards the rear of the frame to help with noise
Large cam with precise timing mark. Allows for easier, and more precise impact alignment checks
Smooth, easy clamping tube vice.
Forward weight distribution for better ergonomics.
Beautiful brass armature bar, perfectly balanced for a strong, confident, and consistent hit.
O-ring groove in the bar allows for a more silent option (though will reduce performance as well)
Reliable Mabuchi motor. -because they run forever without losing consistency.

Specifications:

Weighs 6 oz
Recommended voltage range: 4 - 6.5 volts
Approximate stroke range: 2 - 4mm (keep in mind the stoke goes up more due to the springs. The stroke of a Sidewinder cannot be compared to other rotaries as the hit is completely different)

RCA Specifications:

RCA version is wired for the harder hit mode only using RCA connection
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 (Positive Down for Harder Hit)
The position of the battery makes the machine’s balance point much more forward, like a pen.
NEW RCA / Clip cord version with straight up battery position

Excellent machine — extremely smooth and consistent performance. The build quality is outstanding, and the polished nickel finish looks premium. Runs very stable with minimal vibration and great control, making it comfortable for long tattoo sessions.

Workhorse Irons also provided great customer support and handled my replacement shipment professionally. Highly recommended for professional artists.
