Thank you Greystone for the information and I do feel more confident now. Thank you J.Hayes as well and I will definitely look at Cowboy but I have spent a lot of time/research on Cobra 4. Also, love their skiving machine and might bite the bullet and order both. I will though out of curiosity, look at the Cowboy. Thanks again

Thanks for the response. I'm more interested in knowing which machines work best. All the machines I mentioned can do all the stuff I need but I want to make sure that the stitch doesn't come out too thick and rough when sewing finer leathers. I would like a machine to do both light and heavy. It looks like the cobra 4 does that but would love to hear experiences with the different machines I have posted. Thanks again

I posted yesterday for the first time asking any feedback on which sewing machine would be good for me. I didn't get one single response. Does anyone out there have any info on which one to buy? I sew a lot of double layer 5-6oz leather and sometimes go as thick as double 12 oz leather. I have done research on Techsew 5100, Reliable MSK-1341, Cobra 4 and latest ones I reasearched are Toro 3000 and Sewpro. I want to make sure these machines aren't too strong for light leather work because I do mostly light to medium but I do sometimes use heavy leather. Please help

I am looking to buy a cylinder arm sewing machine. I mainly will use this machine for sewing leather handbags. Anywhere from 5oz to 15 oz. Which brand would be good. Price point is anywhere from $2000 to $3000. Can anyone give me suggestions on which one would be good. Right now did research on Techsew 5100, Reliable MSK-1341 and Cobra 4.
