Cowboy cb3200

[Carriesleatherworks]

Opinions on the Cowboy cb3200 sewing machines? I found one for sale fairly close to me. I make quite a variety of things and realize one machine won't do everything but if I could mostly use it for sewing tack and heavy stuff and sew everything else by hand. Thanks

My two cents worth:

i) it is a class 441 machine just based on the needle system it uses.

ii) the size of the hole it will punch is equal to basically a 2 1/2" finishing nail.

iii) the max size thread it can handle is V346 minimum size is V69

iv) the max thickness the machine will sew is rated for 1/2". 

v) the cost for a new machine is about $2200 USD

The questions:

i) What is the asking price which will depend on the condition? Any photo's?

ii) What size of thread do you what to use?

iii) How thick is the thickest leather you will need / want to sew.

iv) How often you will use the machine? If it is infrequently maybe consider a Cowboy Outlaw( new ~ $1400) or Tippman Boss (new ~$1000)

I have the 4500 . . . which will sew a bit thicker and use some heavier thread . . . but from my perspective . . . the 3200 would very probably do what you need with no trouble.

I have nothing but good words to say for the Cowboy sewing machine I own . . . was worried to spend as much as I did for it . . . but am certainly glad I did . . . 

May God bless,
