Thanks for your feedback Bob! While I am just getting started (again) on some leather projects, I am looking for ways to increase production all while not sacrificing time with family. Belts, holsters, fire helmet shields, wallets are a few of the projects I tend to focus on. Should I wait and save more money for a cylinder arm machine. Also this machine is available local to me, it appears to be needle fed, based on research, but curious as to other positives/negatives. I believe it’s a 255rb-1. Seller is asking 600$
