    My Dan Kubin Mini Cranker.

    It arrived yesterday, this is it.............http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater
    It has 4mm stroke and today I used it for line on 2 Tattoos, 3 needle and a 5 needle. What can I say-it's gorgeous to use ,I have never been so satisfied with a machine on the first day of use. It's light and really well balanced and so devoid of sound and vibration,totally unagressive, yet lovely effortless one pass lines. I can't wait for a situation where I need a really big line, i.e 14s as the machine is renowned for even making that effortless. The other thing was that both of my clients have had much previous Tattooing from me, and both commented this was the most comfortable lining they had felt.
    There are many fine crank style rotaries out there, but Dan has some how just found a totally winning formula with this machine.
    Dan-a big thank you to you mate, marks out of 10? 10 and I'm being honest.

  2. Thanks The Limey thanked for this post.

    They're $350-70 plus shipping, the little bit extra is if you want a specific two tone finish. If you go here http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...4319302&type=3 you'll see many of the finish options available, in fact you'll find it hard to choose.

    once you try one of Dan's mini crankers you'll never touch another rotary. I've got two now (thrid coming next week), and I haven't touched anything else since. Every friend I've lent it to/told about it has ordered one and has the same response. Dan did the smart thing I think rotary builders were missing, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with every new machine, he just took an existing tried design and made an amazing version of it. It's like any good coil machine builder, they don't try and break the mold and make some revolutionary new design, just make great versions of tried and true designs. I'm done trying new rotaries, after owning almost everyone out there, I am fully content on the Kubins now, and will not be buying any other rotaries. Selling off all my other rotaries now!
