Tippmann Aerostich

Recommended Posts

I've been thinking about getting a leather sewing machine and saw the "Boss" I like its simplicity but I don't think the handle operation would work for me while trying to sew a case or bag. Then I saw a post about an aerostich and really liked how it functions and can be slowed to 1 push of the pedal= 1 stitch I went to the Tippmann site but only see the "boss" or sale. Do they still sell these?

Tippmann hasn't produced the aerostitch for several years. They do however still support the machine and will service it or their tech will talk you through working on it. They are not a complicated machine and anyone with even a small degree of mechanical ability can do it. They are built like a tank and the parts that will need some degree of replacement like bobbin shuttle etc. are common with the boss. If you find one for sale the later model with the needle positioning system is the best and brings a better price.

Hi,

Did you find an Aerostitch machine? Do you know what a sensible price is for one of these if sold second hand? Ive just been looking at a video of one in use on you tube and it looks like an awesome machine. I like the Boss, but as you say, it may be akward to operate it with one hand on the lever.

Cheers

Paul
