Tippmann Boss

[Techsew Ron]

Several other things to consider if you intend to make holsters. Sewing heavy leather is never a speed proposition no matter what machine you are using and you can sew as fast with a Boss as most folks run their powered machines. Also the GA5 has pretty aggressive feed dogs that will mark the bottom side of the work pretty distinctly. Then you need to add in the cost of the speed reducer and servo motor to the basic machine plus the cost of shipping. The Boss is simple enough that most anyone can work on it themselves and Tippmann has great customer service. The GA5 you will probably need serviced by a professional.

If you are set on a powered machine for your first one I think I would give the Cobra machines a serious look.

The Techsew GA5-1R feed dogs may leave minor foot marks on the bottom side of soft leather, not always an issue for our customers who sew holsters, tool belts and harnesses where the bottom side of the work isn't showing. We barely ever receive complains about it. Wizcrafts made a post not too long ago describing a simple process to remove the marks too if one were so inclined.

Many customers will go with the Techsew 5100 or Techsew 4100 instead, both of which have a 7/8" sewing capacity and a triple feed mechanism so not to leave any foot marks at all.

All of these machines come standard with speed reducer and Techsew SmartServo motor and extra large 12" flywheel (5100 and 4100), we do not charge extra costs or upgrade fees.

All machines are put through our 5 step inspection process and set up by a certified mechanic, ready to sew upon delivery. No need to service anything and we offer lifetime tech support too.

Cheers,

Ron
