Sidewinder 46er
The 46er is a culmination of my versions 4-6 Sidewinders, remastered and enhanced to perfection.
This machine features a very large stroke adjustment range that can suite single needle work, all the way up to the largest liners and mag shaders.
For the batch 2, 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.
This machine 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. I also love this machine for most shading and color packing techniques.
