Landis Line Finisher

[billymac814]

The nationwide Craigslist is very helpful. I wish there were a little more options like sort by distance or something like that but even without its better than checking a bunch of cities.

The landis line finishers are useful, no doubt there. They just aren't worth much as not too many people want or have room for them. I use mine as it was intended for shoe repair. The drums aren't bumpy if you have good drums. One of mine is very bumpy and I don't use that one anymore. The biggest problem is the short piece of paper wears out in no time when sanding heavy rubber soles down. The much longer belts last much longer. It'll be a joyous day when I haul this out of my shop. Ill likely give it a month or so and see if I can sell it, I don't have high hopes though even though its in very good condition. If not I can probably pull the 5 motors off of it and put those on eBay and get more than I could sell the complete machine for and I can sell the drums and other parts to people who are trying to keep theirs going and scrap the rest, its pretty heavy so Id do ok in scrapping it. Ill gain an extra 4 or 5 feet of wall space in my shop which I could use.

I could also break it down and just use a section of it so I could get something like a Jackmaster and keep the polishing section but I'd rather just get the Cobra Finisher, it looks to be a very cool design with the rotating heads.

Logans, I would love to see a picture of your creative set up, seams like us cobblers and leather crafters can make reuse of just about anything

Thanks

yes, I thought of cutting my first one down into just a polisher at one point. glad I didn't now. I will post pics of it as soon as I can. Pretty busy with projects right now
