Long time member, first time poster! Thanks for all the posts and knowledge that you guys have!
I have been looking at buying my first industrial cylinder arm walking foot machine. The used market is scarce on the East coast so I've been looking at new machines though I find myself in the same place so many are. I want to do thicker foods like work belts, holsters etc. but I also really want to work in waxed canvas goods.
I looked at the class 26 (or equivalent) which is good for light/medium that maxed out at 1/2" and the class 4 which is great for heavier work but struggles with lighter work... I can only afford one... Well maybe I can't even afford one but I'm gonna try haha.
Found the newer Artisan Toro 3200. Says it can do light work "2-3 pieces of paper" to 9/10 of an inch. I know each would require setup and tension adjustments which is normal but does anyone have any experience with this machine? Can it run the gamut it says it can? Can it perform well in both scenarios? If so, then I think it might be the one for me. Any thoughts appreciated!
