Any Other Hand Cranked Machines Than Tippmann Boss?

[Darren Brosowski]

I have sold over 600 of these babies in the last three years but my primary market is not leather work.

There are a number of problems with the basic machine in part because they test them with monofilament:

- the needle bar height will probably need adjustment to avoid damaging multi strand thread

- the take up lever needs adjustment for the same reason

- the bobbin winder is only about 50% likely to work

- the instructions are very funny but otherwise useless

- toss out the needles that come with it and buy good ones

- drill out the needle plate to 2.5mm and chamfer top and bottom

- file and grind off the rough edges

- polish the hole in the take up lever

- grind off the sharp edges on the foot and coat in a rubber compound

- etc.

-etc.

That is why I sell these for $AU295

I just got some prices back from GSBmachine on a hand operated machine and wanted to include price if anyone else is interested in the future.

The HUJI-43-6 is a small machine for sewing and repairing shoe, bags and canvas.
