Brownies Report post Posted February 13, 2023 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deryk Report post Posted February 15, 2023 I have a Tippman Boss, and (yesterday) just had delivered a Cobra class 26. I think for belts the boss does a great job. Now I was making bags and hats on mine and I had issues with the very limited throat room and I think you will experience that with making holsters. Reverse looks like a good improvement, I wonder if the cowboy outlaw will be doing something similar? I considered going up to an outlaw because the working area is larger. Then I said screw it decided most of my work is on 4 to 5 ounce weight so I went with the class 26. I still have my boss, and will probably keep it if I make a large duffle bag or something and the layers with strapping become too much for my 26.
