Just a little scared of quality. Folks, my offer to ship and insure this machine applies to the lower 48 US States. I can't afford to ship this machine to China at this price.

Just a little scared of quality. Rino, I owned one of the alum. body stitchers and never had an issue with the quality, durability, or performance. I have found that most of the time if someone has an issue with a Boss stitcher it is operator error. 1. Operator has not threaded it properly 2. Operator has not learned/experimented with how to set proper tension on upper and lower stitch 3. Operator has not learned to "Diagnose" stitch error. (thread pulling bottom stitch up or bottom stitch pulling thread to underside) You need to be able to know how to adjust the machine to get the stitch to cross in the middle of the layers being sewn together. 4. Operator has not lubed the moving parts. I have found that the lever rack and gears need a light layer of bearing grease. It made the difference in mine 100% And don't forget a drop or 2 in the shuttle area of the bobbin. The common problem with these machines is 99.9% of the time is the operator. You cannot unpack this tool, mount it to your bench, and expect it to perform perfectly without you learning a little about its functions. I have gone to someones house after they were ready to send the machine back and spent a little time adjusting, lubing, and rethreading it and had it stitching in 15 minutes. Tippmans manual is a MUST READ!! It will walk you through the adjustments and what to look for. Take some scrap leather and experiment, over tighten the upper thread and see what the stitch looks like. Do the same with the bobbin thread, see what it looks like. You can start getting a "feel" for how much tension both upper and lower need when just pulled with your fingers. They are a great machine. I have sold mine and gone electric to help with production but I do miss it for some jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted February 12, 2012 That's Canada, not China. Since you didn't specify that you would only ship to CONUS, I think it'd be fair for you to check the actual shipping to Canada and if the cost exceed reasonable expectations that you split the additional shipping charges with the buyer. If there are import/customs fees, that should fall on the buyer. I have an Aluminum Boss, and have had NO problems with it.....other than the ones I caused.

rinocbernard Report post Posted February 12, 2012 ok, send me invoice, charge a liitle more for shipping to Canada. P.S When you send, send it as a gift and no problem with customs.

Folks, you have to be a lawyer to navigate this forum. Last time I tried to sell this machine, it was someone who thought the time stamp on their PM was before the other persons. It seems that was I need to do is post this on ebay, charge what the machine is worth, charge for shipping and be done with it. I was hoping someone who wanted to move up from hand stitching would get the opportunity at a reasonable price but, the lawyers don't seem to want that. So, consider this notification that the machine is no longer available. You want it, check ebay inn the coming days. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted February 12, 2012 Before you head to Ebay and get issues (the same or other), here's a couple of quick tips ... Shipping to Canada is WAY more money than US. And, since you deal with lawyers I think it's a federal offense to report merchandise to customs as a gift (NAFTA or not). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
