Dan Kubin...Cranker Review....

[thesmokingmirror]

That first one is really nice is that a long stroke liner?

Do you mean the copper one? Its meant to powerline as set up now, but it really shades well too. I love it for any big groupings. it has balls but is really smooth and steady. Copper and brass are high density and absorb vibrations not that it makes much. I've used it with a short stroke set up and it airbrushed in grey shading but is on the porky side for quick hand movements@155grams, so switched it out to a 5mm stroke to bold line, and with the Kubin I'm very pleased with my liners. Seems like anything that can line well can do most other jobs well too. The Rapier is fixed at 4.2 and has a bit of give but I can't quite mesh with it so I traded it. I've got a few machines yet to buy or awaiting delivery soon. I've also a couple of my own prototypes in the works too...

By far. The best machine I've used so far. Soooo good.

Very interesting, need to keep us all posted on developments...

I did a few hours of fun loose black shading on a color freehand sleeve today with a curved 11 Mag and the Kubin performed flawless as it has with everything I've done with it.

I got my "Storm Trooper" mini cranker back in march and love it, use it daily. Cant recomend them enough and Dan is a RAD dude to deal with.

I used my Kubin a couple times, it runs super smooth and puts the ink in like nobody's business. Love it.

Have any of you guys tryed whip shading with one of the mini crackers? I really want one but I do alot of traditional work.

they do it all ajust your hand speed turn up to about 5.8 and whip away my kubin is a fixed 4mm and theres nothing this machine wont do besides a 3 liner id go w a shorter stroke for that.
