We are selling a 20 ton clicker press from Leather Machine Co. You can see the product here. https://leathermachineco.com/product/20-ton-clicker/ Clicker worked well for us for the 3-4 years it was in service but we have since moved to laser cutting for all of our products. Local pickup in Utah only. $3,000 OBO.

We purchased this machine in 2016 and used it for about 1 year in production. This machine is used to apply edge paints to leather. It works very well. Paid $1,895.00 new and it took about 4 months to get since it is imported from Italy. A video of it in operation can be seen here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShN9BPJOAX0 From the manufacturer- DELUXE Single Edge Painting Machine Ideal for bags, holsters, saddles… Suitable for painting the edges of all kinds of products, including handbags, wallets, holsters, saddle parts and assorted leather goods. Through its simple operation, it can apply a clean, finished edge to your leather products. Lower and upper supports help maintain alignment as the material passes along the motorized painting wheel. The SEP has the advantage of multiple painting wheels for flat, rounded and even extra wide edges. It can even paint a border along the top as is covers the edge (optional). The SEP uses water based, self-polishing dye and other kinds of colored liquids. Due to the continuous cycle operation, it avoids waste by recycling any excess paint to the tank. The painting parts are made of stainless steel or special plastics to ensure that all parts in contact do not deteriorate with water or with solvents used in normal maintenance. All equipment is built according to current CE standards. MADE IN ITALY Thanks for looking!

Matt, Just curious, what is your 246 clone?

I started checking around and found that on the Juki DSC-246 they have instructions and part lists for converting them. The describe it as converting from a 'horizontal feed' to a "elliptical feed". Where the "horizontal feed" is the machine with the binding attachment. Any ideas on what that means? It also seems like they may be describing the what SARK9 is saying when they describe the feed dog, it seems they want it set to a specific protrusion. You can see what I'm describing in the manual here http://www.juki.co.jp/industrial_j/download_j/manual_j/dsc240/menu/dsc246,-7/pdf/instruction_eg.pdf -T

I'm looking to pick up a machine for light to medium sewing. canvas and leather up to about 10 oz max. I also am looking for a machine that has the option of using a synchronized binding attachment. This leads me to machines like the Pfaff 335 and clones. Generally speaking, within each manufacturer I'm looking to machines pre-configured for a binder, but would need to purchase parts required to use it without a binder (Not sure of everything required here). I'm also looking for large bobbin when given an option. Here are the options I've found. I'd appreciate any feedback on these manufacturers. Consew Model 277RBFS- Seiko LSC-8BLV-1 TECHSEW 2600 PRO appears that it can accept a binder, but not sure if it requires additional parts to do so. RELIABLE MSK-335B HIGHLEAD GC2698-1B Pfaff 335 Juki DSC-246 Cowboy 7335 What does it take to convert from binder to standard walking foot on this style of machine? How will part cost and availability compare across these models? Is it better to have the knob for stitch length and separate reverse leather? Thanks! I look forward to hearing any feedback on these. -T

I'm looking for a source of veg tanned leather with fairly bright colors and pasted backs that match the front color. Does anyone have an idea where to point me? I'm planning on checking with Wicket and Craig, I'll be calling them on Monday to discuss options. I think I'll also give Horween a call. Please see the attached images for reference. Thanks!

I'm in Northern Utah. Would ship in lower 48 states for $50, would have to get a specific quote for other locations. Thanks for the suggestions! We actually loved the machine when we used it, although I could see that being an improvement because it would eliminate cleaning of the brush! We just stopped using edge paint on most of our products, and the very few that we do we apply by hand now.

$100 +Shipping?

Would anyone do $200 + shipping?

Here is a pic

Several years ago we purchased some custom brown belt clips from JRM. We originally purchased 1200, but found that the gloss paint scratched easily so we were unable to use them (Most of them are scratched just from shipping). They would be great for purely utilitarian projects where you just need a good clip, but looks aren't critical. Would also be great for scouting/youth groups. I think we paid about $600-800 for the entire batch. We have 36 lbs of the original 41 lbs left, so we estimate about 900-1000 clips remaining however I don't make any guarantee on the count, but I can tell you the box weighs 36 lbs. We are willing to let them go for a sweet deal to the best offer. payment via paypal, buyer pays shipping Make an offer if interested! We want these to go fast. See clip details here. http://www.jrmclips.com/1000-series-clips.html

Sorry for such a hassle! full payment sent!

I'll take the lot

I have several hundred pounds of scrap leather that I don't have a use for. Sizes range from pieces less than a 2 square inches to pieces that are up to 2 square feet. In each case it is unusable for my products. What do you guys do with your scrap leather? I almost took a pallet load to the trash today but hated seeing it go to waste so I paused(It just seems like it might be something someone could use). Its all drum dyed veg tan leather (Black). We produce probably 50 lbs of scrap a week. Any thoughts? Thanks

I recently purchased two sewing machines from Steve and he has been great to work with and the machines are very nice. I am having a problem with my EPS system, which is very likely user error. First I would like to say that Steve has been very helpful and provided great customer service, I'm only seeking more information here so I know what I should be looking for so I can talk intelligently with Steve. Let me tell you the issue I've had, nearly identical issues on two machines with EPS. (this is spcifically on the Class 18, but I have had similar issues on the class 4) The needle never stops in the down position, and the servo is constantly giving and E8 error code (and I've seen and E9 error code a few times). It will stop in the up position occasionally and will show Pu on the servo (I think this means Position Up). The red light on the synchronizer (mounted to the hand wheel with the marks lined up as instructed in a set up guide I received) illuminates at this point (and every time the needle is in the up position). Pressing the heel down, when you've manually put the needle in the lowest position, will sometimes cause the needle to raise, but it is inconsistent. While trying to understand how the system works I noticed that the red light only comes on once per revolution of the hand wheel, I think that each time the red light comes on it send a signal to the motor to stop its rotation. I pulled the cover off of the synchronizer and noticed that there was one magnet, put a hole for a second one (this appeared to be the sensing mechanism). It seems like there should be a method for sensing the high point and the low point of the needle, but the synch. is unable to provide that info. Any thoughts? Does your synchronizer have two magnets? does the light come on at the high and low point of the needle? Thanks!

OK, did a bit more research. Here is a link to the page, same product numbers as OTB, I'll just have to see if they are willing to ship to me. Does anyone have any experience purchasing from Belgium? http://www.union.be/index.php?page=articles&cat=15

I know this is a terribly old thread, but that link doesn't seem to be correct anymore. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the manufacturer of the brass jiffy rivets? Thanks!

I'm trying to get Duncans to make up a mold of the S&W SD9 VE (basically a new version of the sigma) You can see the gun here. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_757962_-1_757752_757751_image They need 3 more people to ask for it before they will offer it. If you are interested, please call Jason at (989) 894-6691 and ask to be put on the list. Thanks! Clay

I'm curious to see what most holster makers are producing. Obviously you don't need to answer as most would consider this confidential information. I think the poll is be anonymous so your answers shouldn't be publicly tied to you(maybe a moderator could make it so if it is not). Hopefully this information could be of value/interest to other makers out there. Thanks!
