Tippmann Boss Questions

[Kaje]

I'm considering buying a leather sewing machine to help grow my part time leather wallet business and I was wondering if a Tippmann Boss would be suitable. I live in an apartment so I have very little space available. I am renting a garage at the apartment but the power is limited and I'm not sure if it could handle an industrial machine motor. I might start branching off into belts and bags as well at some point. Any advice would be appreciated.

If I was you I'd get a 441 clone from Cobra or Cowboy, the Tipman Boss Machines are good but they will get you tired after sewing a large piece like a belt or something similar. The new servo motors on the Cobras use little power probably much less than your T.V. So the electricity. Is no problem the space maybe but you can always try to make space for it. I would never buy a Tipman but that's just me for half more you'll get a real sewing machine with a motor that you will love and be able to expand to do anything you want the Tipman is limited because of the throat length and the 441 has 16 inches of to work with. Have fun!

A brand new Tippmann is on sale for $1200 right now, how much could I get a 441 clone for? Would that be like a Cowboy CB3500?

I would get a cobra Class 4 standard package for 2295 or you can get the deluxe package with all the bells and whistles for 2695 and I thinks that's delivered like I said the motor only runs when you are sewing its really nice and slow and you have total control of the machine it's a beauty. Give Steve a call. There is absolutely no comparison between the tippman and the Cobra plus the Obras hold their value. http://www.leathermachineco.com/catalog.php?item=57

Yes, I agree, give Cobra Steve a call. He can also find you a Used machine that might fit into your budget a little better. It may take him some time to find one but you'll be happy with his service and care.
