Hello friend, I just thought to inform you that I bought all of Dan's Machinery in the fall. I dont think that he checks his posts any longer best CS

Does anyone know where I can get parts for a BIBO TC75 Edge Inking Machine? I have a machine that I use with smaller guides, on thinner leather straps. I am setting up to run thicker straps (12-14OZ) through it and the guides are a bit too tight. BIBO's website lists this machine as handling 2-7.5mm Straps, but the way my machine is set up, it wont handle anything over 10oz..(gets wedged). Anyone have any ideas? BIBO has not responded to my inquiries yet (not sure if they will, I wrote in English). BIBO directed me years ago to them as the distributor for BIBO in USA...But I ordered parts last week from Randall and the salesman was unfamillar with the model and didnt have anything at all for the TC75. Any guidance or help would be appreciated! THanks CS

HI Busted, Thanks for your reply. I just purchased a Randall NSB lastnight in WV. THey're really abotu the best production edger around, although OMAC in Italy makes a good one.... China also makes a clone of the NSB for 2,000....(But come on, who wants a Chinese Machine). They're fast, and do a good job, you can edge about 100 straps in 5 mins.....Really fast. THe heritage and bluegrass edgers are more for hobby minded people, although I did see a bluegrass with pullers and that wouldnt be so bad. I've probably seen 10 NSB machines at auctions over the past 3 years, I just didnt need one until now, so I missed alot of good chances. Usually Weaver's consignment auction has 1-2, but I didnt see one this summer.

Hello ALL! Just wanted to let everyone know that I have bought a NSB from leatherworker forum member DAN RICH. He's a great guy, and still has a couple machines for sale. He as a Randall R 32, in excellent mechanical shape, still has the original cutting roller on it. He's asking around $1500, would be great for someone looking to acquire a strap cutting machine.

Thanks for the reply. What is your per inch price for common steel rule dies, 1-/4" height?

Hello folks, I am searching for an alternate die maker for my projects. Anyone know of a good die maker? I have had a bit of trouble with my current die maker...After 65 great dies ordered from them, I finally have a small issue with the most recent, and they flat refused to fix it, even if I paid for the correction... I can say I was flat out shocked and surprised by the lack of professionalism to say the least.... My recorse was to just throw the die in the scrap bin...And start over. But I am soured now on my die maker. Anyway, anyone know of a good die maker that is reasonable on price and turn around? All suggestions welcomed!

Hello All, I am still searching for a used Randall Edger, NSB... So far I haven't found one for sale to buy, still searching....

What kind of machinery does he have?

Hello, do you have a randall nsb? (beveller) best cS

What kind of number/qty are you looking for? I can offer die cutting service, by piece, and dies are not so hard to have made (or so expensive either). Best CS

Hello, THanks for your reply to my posting. Unfortunately, Jack does not have machines, (or any machines ??) in stock....THe pictures on oldcowpoke must just be for reference I guess?? I contacted him about many different machines posted in photos (with prices) on the site, but none avail........ I am still hunting a randall NSB. -CS

Cambell-Randall makes some parts for the Landis 3, try giving them a call. They're very simple machines to work on, you should be able to change worn parts out with new ones pretty easily.

Hello, I have a complete Landis 3 Shuttle to trade, I am looking to trade it for a complete Campbell/Randall Shuttle. I am also looking to perhaps buy Randall Shuttles also.

Hello, is it a 205-370? I am possibly interested, any pics? Where are you located?

Does anyone know where to find 5/6 suede? I am looking for the slightly thicker/firmer "Orthopedic" suede in colours. All I am able to find around is the cheap 4/5 soft suede... Maybe someone knows of a supplier?

Looking for a supplier of balistic nylon laminated to a thin closed cell foam like what is used in nylon holsters.... Anyone know of a source of this laminate/trilaminate? It seems to be around everywere, but I cant seem to source it... Best CS

Does anyone know of an online or other manual for an atom 25 ton clicker? I am searched everywhere and no response from the mfgr either... Any ideas? thanks CS

Hello: I am seeking a spare Randall Harness Stitcher to keep as a backup for my main production machine. I am after the Campbell Style, not the Union Lock. If you have one, or one for parts please reply to my posting with price and availability. Thanks! CS

I wonder if the water based Dap Contact Cement I am seeing around would work?

Thanks for the reply Codylp, I thought to give forum members a try first, I may call them if I dont find any here. -CS

Hello, Looking to buy a set of new randal 132 strap cutter knives and 1-1/2 spacers. I'm after new knives, but used spacers are perfectly fine. The 1-1/2 spacers are actually a shade short of 1-1/2 to allow for the blade. Please reply to forum with what is available and asking price. thanks! CS

HI Ray, the potdevin I have is the "Edge Gluer" model.

What kind of adhesive should I use in a potdevin glue machine? I plan to glue leather strips in my glue machine, however I am seeking advice on what adhesive to use in the machine. Up to this point I use Dap Contact Cement (By hand) but iin this machine I am not sure if I can use it or not. I looked on Potdevins site, however I do not see anything suitable for leather straps. Does anyone glue straps in a Potdevin or similar glue machine? If so please share your story.

Hello, How do you guys cut slots in your pancake holsters? At what stage? I am setting up to make pancakes w/thumbreaks, and have had some interesting situations... I am using Wickett and Craig leather on these, and for now I am dying this leather (allowing to dry) and then damp forming in an 8 ton press.... I have tried a few combinations on the slots, integral slots in the die when cutting side panels, using a hand punch, and most lately, an oval slot punch in an arbor press. The W&C leather I am using has really surprised me, it seems different from the elather I recd. from them 2-3 years ago.. I purchased a couple sides for prototypes, in 8-8.5oz. Very very firm and dense, and after dye it becomes so hard it's difficult to work...The slot punch with a 2 ton press almost bounces off it. Has anyone had such luck? I generally use Herman Oak, and thought to opt for something I felt would be softer for pancakes.... I dare say this W-C leather reminds me alot of low cost Argentine..... If anyone has any input on how they cut slots I'd appreciate any thoughts. best! CS
