New to sewing machines. Need to know if the tippman boss is a worthwhile upgrade being that it's completely manual. I plan on using it for belts and holsters with 9 to 10 oz of leather. I know it'll give my poor fingers a rest from poking leather but my question is, for those that have or had one, is it worth it? I was looking at the model R with reverse.. or stick with the original or go with something else completely?

Ok, who's bought the Leather Burnishing Machine on Amazon that looks like another company's burnishing machine at almost half the price?? How is it? Is it worth it? Is the aforementioned "Red" one a better way to go? Um.. I'm asking for a friend

Exactly, you can see that when he puts the pieces together here. I am sure he is just trying to get the stitched edges to be as thin as possible
