Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 19, 2011 Moderator Report Posted March 19, 2011 I am posting this for a business associate of mine, who has a custom leathercraft shop in Flint, Michigan. He is selling his well maintained and highly improved Randall Model 132 strap cutter. The machine was purchased new from Randall, in New York, in 1990. He had it modified by a local machine shop to have heavy duty bearings and grease fittings on the main shafts, ensuring that the shafts will not run dry or go out of round, under the stress of cutting thick leather into straps. The machine originally shipped with one set of blades and spacers. He required more widths of cut and purchased or had manufactured 45 spacers in 4 widths and 4 new blade spacer plates for them. He also purchased about 45 additional type 132 cutting blades, from Randall. The asking price is $4250. The machine is clean, setup and can be tested in the shop. More details and lots of photos of the machine, motor-table and the many extra parts are available on this web page. Anybody interested in viewing or purchasing the Randall 132 strap cutter should call Doug Monroe, at M&M Leather: 810-732-4907, Monday - Saturday, from noon until 6 PM, Eastern Time. This is a cash and carry offer, from Flint, Michigan.

Members tat2 Posted March 23, 2011 Members Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Beautiful but very high even for todays current machinery costs. Is it because its a Randall? We are looking for another Strap cutting machine But Could not come close to the asking price.

Members buffalobill plus Ed D Posted March 28, 2011 Members Report Posted March 28, 2011 does sound a bitt high but tat2 i have seen some of the outrageous asking prices you have asked in the past, you dont ask you wont get
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 29, 2011 Author Moderator Report Posted March 29, 2011 Guys, there's no need to fight over this. My friend asked me to post the machine for sale with his asking price, which is based on what he paid for the machine and the modifications to it. If somebody seriously wants to get this machine they should call him and discuss it with him and see where the price goes from there. He doesn't even have an email address at this time. That's why I posted the machine details for him.

Members tat2 Posted April 3, 2011 Members Report Posted April 3, 2011 I just wanted to know why the value was high. We sell Italian strap cutters for less. Merely curious!

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted April 3, 2011 Author Moderator Report Posted April 3, 2011 I just wanted to know why the value was high. We sell Italian strap cutters for less. Merely curious! The value is high because the machine was built entirely IN THE USA, with AMERICAN parts and AMERICAN labor. There are very few machines left that are entirely produced here. I'm sure your Italian machine works fine, but what will it cost to add all the extra blades and spacers that come with this Randall? Does your machine have grease fittings on heavy sealed bearings? Anyway, you are a dealer, not a buyer. Why are you trolling on my ad?

Members tat2 Posted April 3, 2011 Members Report Posted April 3, 2011 We are actually thinking of this machine for ourselves, hence asking about the price We are familar with Randall and its outstanding quality in machinery. I needed more info on why it was priced the amount it was. I am a Leather Worker and at times selling l machinery but I would not say I am a dealer.

Moderator Art Posted April 3, 2011 Moderator Report Posted April 3, 2011 Alright guys, lets not bicker. Wiz, there was no reason for the "troll" remark. Tat2, just make him an offer, Wiz can take it back to M&M, he works there. Art Market Place Moderator For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted April 3, 2011 Author Moderator Report Posted April 3, 2011 I apologize for assuming that Tat2 was trolling. This was not the case. Sometimes, things aren't what they appear to be.

Members tat2 Posted April 16, 2011 Members Report Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks Wiz, But we declined our interest when you called me a Troll. We were looking at the strap cutter and your sewing machine for sale. Best of luck, As a business operator we always excell to the best customer service, Calling a potential customer a Troll is a good way to not make ANY money.
