Dan’s words:
*7.5 highlights: Made a straight angle on drive spring shelf on the armature bar, allowing for a more effortless and graceful hit.
*Impact screw and Impact pin are now adjusted with the 1.5mm allen key provided with the machine.
*More prominent timing marks on the sideplate for the impact pin. (for advanced tuning/stroke adjustment, this helps with being more intuitive)
*Cleaner sound/better acoustics.
* Side locking screw is positioned to secure the impact screw most effectively
The Sidewinder 7 is the most revolutionary Sidewinder yet. Â Now, not only is the supreme liner, it now igreat in the lower volt range for shading to color packing, fine line and stippled whip shading techniques.
It has 5 stroke positions ranging from 3.5-4mm. While tattooing, Â hit is controlled with adjustable return spring tension.
The impact screw is adjustable. This allows for more precise tuning. Â It still has an adjustment pin on the frame , which will slightly change the stroke, or allow for a quick impact adjustment.
The main goal for this batch is for simple tuning for the end user, but with the option/ability to dial it in precisely for those who know how they want their machine to run.
If you want a softer hitting machine, you don’t have to compromise the stroke length.  You can simply adjust the return spring tension on the fly throughout the tattoo.
Recommended voltage range: 4 – 6.5
