Dan Kubin - MCi - Black

Step up your tattoo game with the new Dan Kubin MCi (Mini Cranker with Impact) - 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 durable Black Oxide Finish
- Weighted Brass Armature
- Deluxe Kubin Components including DK Thumbs and updated Slide Vise
- Weight: 146 grams

Setup and 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.
- 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:
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.
