Sidewinder 46er Featherweight 2 Tone Ron Burgundy

Dan Kubin Sidewinder 46er RCA Compatible – Liner & Shader Rotary Tattoo Machine

The Sidewinder 46er is the evolution of Dan Kubin’s V4–V6 Sidewinders—remastered and engineered for next-level performance. Designed as a strong, precise, off-the-tip rotary liner, the 46er also handles shading, color packing, and single needle work with ease thanks to its wide stroke adjustment range and dynamic power delivery.

Built for experienced tattoo artists, the 46er delivers a confident, consistent hit with ergonomic balance and customizable tuning features. Available in brass (6 oz) or featherweight 7075 aluminum (4.4 oz), compatible with most battery packs and wired for a sharper, responsive hit.
