Edge Creasing Iron

[matthewb137]

Does anyone have information on where to find a Hot Creasing Iron specifically in 110V for the US? I found a couple Regad M3000, which is lovely, but only the machines (no handle or tips) and they all seem to be 220V-240V. Campbell-Randall is all sold out. Any other options or places out there?

Have you checked the below companies?

You can also order direct through Mando.fr

I thought there was a third site for it, I couldn't remember the name of it though. Fine Leatherworking. Rocky Mountain I knew, but last night I wasn't able to select the 110V model, now that you posted it I can, weird... Rocky Mountain definitely seems to somehow be much cheaper once you add in the tips, etc.

I can't think of anyone else in the US that sells them. I am located in Europe so I order from Mando. It "might" be cheaper to order through them. You would save on the taxes and they will ship worldwide. You have to be patient when ordering from them. Also, they will be on vacation for the entire month of August. -Adam

I recently bought a machine from Mason leather tools. I believe he is in Singapore. This is his email: snowlets@sina.com He communicates through email. When I emailed him, he sent me pdf copies of what he offers and how much he charges. I think I waited about a month for the unit and tips, but it was totally worth the wait!

The machine, handle, and tips are wonderful and a fraction of the cost of the regad machine from US suppliers. I spent approx $519 on 7 tips, one wand and one machine. the only thing i had to do when it got here was change the power cord. I think it came with an english plug.

That looks pretty nice. Does he have the F series and S series tips too do you know? How hot does that handle get? And where did you get a power plug?

Perhaps you were thinking of Lekoza?  This is a "bare bones" alternative, but might suffice for what you want it to do.

It would suffice for starting it seems. I'm guessing it uses Regad Tips by the one picture? Do you happen to have one yourself by any chance?

[Tugadude]

No, I just saw it when looking at the Slam thread.  Don't know what's up with Slam thread, Lekoza used to stock it and it was getting good reviews.

I did not see your post before I posted in leather work conversation. There is an option in the UK from the Turners retreat under the name "Janik"

I read an older post about people using the Janik handles with a model train transformer with some success when I ordered the Janik unit this is what came.

As you can see from the second picture there is no mention of the Janik name made in France by REGAD it does work at a slightly lower temperature than the actual Regad units.
