Fratelli Alberti leather skiver FAV2 MA

[milkman]

Hi guys.

I bought this machine for myself but honestly my space it s getting very small with it inside. I already have a FAV2 from the 80's that I rebuild myself and that s without a vacuum so takes little space. I prepared it like I do for my machines... 

Anyway, regarding the ad. Price is 1200 eur, excl shipping. from Romania. But I can arrange the transport inside the EU aprox for 250 eur. 

Machine model is FAV2 MA from 2007. Rebuilt by me with original FAV parts. And cleaned the table and drawers. 

The machine features a separate motor for the grinding device which is really awesome because it sharpens the knife so nice! 

The only thing that it "has" : the transport roller shaft, where the clutch is was shortened/grinded by the prev owner to have the clutch engaged all times - which is so stupid because you can actually use a screw that locks that in place. Anyways, in order to make it work again, I just used a washer in the clutch cap, where the clutch disc is, so I can compensate for that difference. In terms of function, it doesn t have any issue like this.

What I replaced:

- replaced all of the bearings except the oscillating one inside the transport shaft. That one is fine. 

- the cardan shaft  - the articulated shaft that connects the gears to the roll. The older one was done

- new transport roll and its shaft

- new FAV knife with new grinding stone ofc

- new gears 

- new grinder belt and new transmission belts.

- new presser foot

- new grinding device shaft, the one where the grinding stone is attached to

- new rubber coupling . The piece that connects the knife shaft to the pulley

 

Like I said everything works like new and skives really really nice.   It comes with its manual and a thickness caliper and a scrap ejector rod made by me

Machine is 380V but if you need to I can prepare it for 220v but the VFD s are on your expense...those cost quite a bit.
