First, does a Consew P1206RB have the same capabilities as the Consew 206RB? I am asking because I can get a new P1206RB locally for $1195 and it would be nice to deal with someone in our area (Everett WA).
Secondly, we will be working with a variety of leather plus some heavy canvas. Leather up to at least 16 oz tooling leather, probably some 8 oz veg tanned and some garment leather. Would we be better off having two machines? One for lighter materials and one for heavier work? I guess I am wondering if medium duty machines, like a Consew 206RB, work well on smaller lighter projects.
Thank you in advance.
