Hello new leather friends.
I'm thinking about purchasing a used machine. I would like to do belts, dog collars, and leashes to start. Maybe wallets too down the road. I don't want to spend a lot but don't want to go too cheap either. I am also wanting to buy something I won't graduate out of too soon either. I guess I would also like a gently used one to start. Don't want a beater.
I've done a little research. I like Japanese quality brands. Juki and older Consew seem to be popular name brands.
I found a used Consew 255 RB3. Supposedly made in Japan. Says Tokoyo Japan on badge anyway. Seller claims Low milage. Like new actually. Comes with table legs and servo. Asking $1400. Plus shipping. What do you all think?
I think the thickest capability I'll need is something capable of 3/8ths thick eventually. I don't believe I'll go that thick but who knows. Any constructive criticism is not only encouraged but rewarded. So please point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Chris
