Members lwoirhaye Posted April 20, 2011 Members Report Posted April 20, 2011 Cool machine, just not using it. Very powerful. This machine has no reverse. I think it's a type 2 Aerostitch. It seems to work well, I just haven't used it enough to love or hate it. It sure punches through thick leather. I think my small compressor is a little weak for it. Besides, I live in an apartment and the compressor noise is annoying to my neighbors. Looking to get $1500. I'm in the Los Angeles area. I don't mind shipping it.

Hi could you please post photos and do you know how much postage to Australia would cost? Cheers Nick
Members lwoirhaye Posted April 20, 2011 Author Members Report Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Shipping to AU - maybe 80lbs. in the box from California USA. My guess is $150-200 US, but that's very general because I've never shipped something this heavy to AU. It could be higher or it could be lower. If you want to research shipping more, it ships from USA zipcode 90601. Your costs will vary based on your province I think. Edited April 20, 2011 by lwoirhaye
Members lazyy Posted April 30, 2011 Members Report Posted April 30, 2011 I`m interested in the Aerostitch, Can you find out shipping to Wi. 54830 Thanks Steve
Members lwoirhaye Posted May 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted May 4, 2011 $100-120 via UPS to a residential address.
Members thecodyvance Posted May 9, 2011 Members Report Posted May 9, 2011 I would like to purchase this item. Please send me an email with specs.
Members lwoirhaye Posted May 9, 2011 Author Members Report Posted May 9, 2011 I sent you a message Cody, but you can research the specs of the Aerostitch without too much trouble online. It's a type 2. Here's where you can download the manual for this model: http://www.tippmannindustrial.com/images/pdf/Manual-Aero2.pdf It also includes an accessory called, I think, the roller edge guide.
Members lwoirhaye Posted May 15, 2011 Author Members Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) New price: $1400, shipping and insurance in continental USA included. At 80lbs shipping at my expense makes this a special deal that may not last. fone: 310-699-zero-three-se7en-zero Edited May 15, 2011 by lwoirhaye
Members RFMarsh Posted July 12, 2011 Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 Have you sold the unit yet? I'm in Northern California.
Members lwoirhaye Posted July 18, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 18, 2011 Have you sold the unit yet? I'm in Northern California. I've had inquiries, certainly - but no deal closed yet.
Members RFMarsh Posted July 19, 2011 Members Report Posted July 19, 2011 I've had inquiries, certainly - but no deal closed yet. Well, I don't have a compressor so, at $1,400 for the Aero + $250 for a compressor I'm wondering why I shouldn't just get an electric sewing machine such as the Techsew GA5-R ($1295). Any suggestions? Bob
Members lwoirhaye Posted July 19, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 19, 2011 The Aerostitch will go thicker than some of the electric machines. If all you need is 1/2" capacity maybe the Techsew or similar machine is good. The Aero goes to 3/4" and because it runs on air, the punching action is really strong. One reason some folks like the Aero is the simplicity of the engineering, user repairability, and wide availability of most of the parts. One thing that is really cool about the Aero is it's ability to do one complete stitch cycle with a single press of the foot pedal, so the control is very positive and in this respect using it gives you the same fine stitch positioning control you get with hand sewing.

Let me think about it and see exactly how much I need to spend on a compressor.
