trekster Report post Posted November 27, 2012 I understand this "bench top" machine has been out for about 6 months. Wondering if anyone has actually used one, or maybe seen one at a trade show. If I'm not mistaken it comes with about the same specs as the Toro 3200. It is a little more expensive than a Toro 3000, but would not take up near the floor space. Wonder if it handles 3/4" of veg tanned leather? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikesmith648 Report post Posted November 27, 2012 I have not seen or used one. However the literature says will work on 12 volt with an inverter. Will also, as stated in their literature, see 9/10 of an inch thick of leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it does, what would be the advantage of an upright machine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted November 27, 2012 Almost any 110 v machine will run on 12v with an inverter. For the very space conscious, a machine like this might be a consideration. I have a problem with the portability part of it as the machine is very heavy and when you add the battery and motor, it becomes in my opinion too heavy. It is a 441 subtype, so everything is standard parts except the shafts. If it was my druthers, I would get the machine on a stand. If you REALLY NEED the portability, it might be better to just put your machine on the stand in the back of the pickup. Also, the 16.5" 441 clone would be a better choice IMHO.
