CERTIFIED DAN KUBIN SIDEWINDER 46ER - Genuine, handcrafted, tuned and engraved by legendary tattoo machinist Dan Kubin himself (DanKubin.com).
Now on the Batch 2 of 46er: For this batch, I opened up the geometry to give it a feel closer to the V4 rather than the V5 or V6. It has a longer working stroke to have the same punch. This allows for more effortless lining without being abusive.
The 46er is a culmination of Certified Dan Kubin Sidewinder tattoo machines versions 4-6 Sidewinders, remastered and enhanced to perfection.
This Sidewinder 46er tattoo machine features a very large stroke adjustment range that can suit single needle work, all the way up to the largest liners and mag shaders.
It 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.
Features include:
- 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.
- Beautifully crafted armature bar. Perfectly balanced for a strong, confident, and consistent hit.
- Reliable and AUTHENTIC Mabuchi motor - because they run forever without losing consistency. (don't be fooled by imitations)

- Featherweight (7075 aluminum frame): 125 grams (4.4 oz)
- Recommended voltage range: 4 - 6.5 volts (Approximate stroke range: 2 - 4mm, Stroke goes up more due to the springs. The stroke of a Sidewinder
cannot be compared to other rotaries as the hit is completely different)

- Positive down - spins motor counterclockwise - slightly passive hit, ideal for shading and fine line
