Pros And Cons: Cylinder Vs Post Vs Flat Bed

[Michiel]

A postbed is great for  top stitching bags

I have cilinder arm and post bed machines , but when  making bag’s I always use my postbed and hardly a cilinderarm

Thinking about it:

when you use thick leather a cilinder arm is great and there are not much advantages with a post bed.

But for thin stuff a post bed is more versatile in my opinion.

I think that’s why most members here are for cilinder arms (and they are right)

It depends on the material and the design of your projects

Welts and bottoms on bags is where the post shines.
