Paramount Saddlery Report post Posted November 9, 2015 I need help setting up my OMSA splitter. Affectionally known as my scrap making machine. I am looking for someone who is comfortable setting my machine up and showing me how to maintain the performance of the machine. Looking for someone who can fly into Sault Ste Marie for a day. expenses and day rate to be negotiated. Please share with anyone you think may be able to help me. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinkerTailor Report post Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Don't know where in Ontario you are but Simards in Cambridge deals it this type of machine. They actually have an OMSA 455 for sale here. They also service these machines and have dealt with production leather machines for years. If anyone in your area can point you in the right direction they should be able too, and may be close enough for house call. http://simards.com/ Phoning Campbell Randall wouldn't hurt either. edit: i see you are from Sault Ste Marie. To cambridge is probably a 1 hour flight, and a day drive, correct? You may even be able to do it by skype. I would try this and then fly the guy there if hands on is still necessary.

Paramount Saddlery Report post Posted December 4, 2015 Many Thanks ! I know Simards well. Unfortunately I am out of their service range. I did speak with Campbell Randall, they are incredible ! I may have my problem sorted thanks to them. Still would love to have someone in the shop for a day going over things with me. Thanks again for reaching out.

TinkerTailor Report post Posted December 4, 2015 I just looked up flights from either toronto or hamilton to sault st marie for a 2 day return trip on dec 15 and just about choked on my cheerios.....1000-1500 bux..and some were 7 hour flights with stopovers......That is close to the driving time......WOW! I fly to calgary for 175 if i shop around early and 4-500 if i am last minute holiday booking. For 1500 bux plus the mechanics rate and a hotel, meals etc, you could almost buy a whole nuther machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinkerTailor Report post Posted December 4, 2015 From Trail BC, which is in the mountains half way from vancouver to calgary, it is roughly a 7-9 hour drive to Vancouver depending on traffic, weather and radar.....through some of the twistiest mountain roads in the country. I can fly round trip for 500 bux on a regional airline.. There is no excuse for those prices. You are getting hosed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
