It really seems that he truly seeks customer satisfaction and values that over the $$$. Plus the big unexpected bonus was that he said he would be able to ship it to me in a week. I was not expecting such a quick turn around. Can't wait to get my new machines. I've been drooling over DK machines and what everyone on here had to say about them so I knew it was time to stop torturing myself and just get two of my own. (Two for now I'm sure ill thin out the rest of my machines to order more)

You will thin out a few machines when you use that Sidewinder to line with. It makes the other machines that you were lining with obsolete.Quote:

That's done it, another order for Dan.
I dont fucking get it!...... every time i am on dankubin.com everything is sold out... i've never ever seen anything available.
How in the hell do you order his machines?
Call him
Phone number is on the website. Bottom right corner of the first page.
I send him always a pm on facebook or istagram ,that works good too and dan have the time to reply :-)
he puts up machines on wednesday afternoon, on the website.
Ohhhh kayyyyy
and boy do these machines run like a wildebeast!!
I just got my sidewinder mc-14 and DK-direct drive in the mail yesterday. I used my sidewinder to line a loose 14 on a thigh and woah boy. Not only was I able to do it 3x faster than I could line anything else but I barley had to push it into the skin. Fat ass sharpie lines single pass picture perfect effortlessly like butter. I also colored with the mc-14 at it's middle stroke setting and it did everything I needed it to do with ease. I still haven't used the DD yet but I have something later tonight coming in that I'll be able to use it on. Best machines I ever used. It's time to sell old machines to get 1 or 2 more. Tattooing just became waaaaaay easier.

Just got my Sidewinder today. Looking forward to this for a while now! Stoked!
It's got a wee bit more heft than the MC2 obviously, still it feels great. SO SMALL! Ran a 7round shader with it. Ran just fine. I'll take my time getting used to it but so far so good. It's right up there with my favorite liners in my stable. I do still very much enjoy my Blitz for lining, and I'm sure once it goes through its 'break in' time I'll dig it even more.
Definitely worth every penny. And Mr. Kubin has some of the best support of any machine builder out there. Nice to know it's supporting someone who can tattoo like crazy tough. And fast. Like a cat tied to a cruise missile fast... haha
I recently got a new sidewinder.
First of all Dan was so quick, it blew my mind. I received it in just three days! A lot of people complain that his website is always out of stock and I see people instagram him to try to claim his next machine. My advice is to just call him on the telephone.
Secondly, I am still in my first year of tattooing and my top priority has been to improve my line work. I lined with halos, vivace, Mickey sharps, Fk aluminum galaxie with mixed results. I know, I know, it's mostly practice and technique but I wanted to expediate the process by finding " the perfect liner.". After reading this thread I bought a sidewinder.
I have to say that all of your claims are true. It is the best of both worlds, coil and rotary, and kinda acts and sounds like it too.
This thing puts lines in solid 95% of the time in one pass. The vibration and balance is good enough to give me confidence with fine lining. Long story shorter, I don't hate doing linework anymore and I'm twice as fast.
I have also used it for packing solid black with a 15 curved mag and it was quick, responsive, and healed solid.
I'm pushing it on the other guys at the shop. Paul now wants one after, I Shit you not, his first pass doing fast B&G.
I think I need another one!

Bought mine in April along with a MC-14. Since then sold 4 or 5 of my old machines and ordered another sidewinder and MC-14. I let a few people at my shop try them and they were instantly convinced and also bought some. It totally changed the game.
