Members Ed in Tx Posted July 28, 2018 Members Report Posted July 28, 2018 Weaver Leather has a similar punch on their site but it sure isn't $350. In fact it is not even close!!! Try $2300...

Members aroh99 Posted July 29, 2018 Members Report Posted July 29, 2018 Itch can you let me know what else this company makes? I would love to know what other machine he can make that would make my life easier and speed up production at the same time.
Members Itch Posted July 29, 2018 Members Report Posted July 29, 2018 I bought the machines that I have from him about 4 years ago can't remember what I paid.. The self centering punch and the embossing roller are both rock solid machines..

You may have exposed a top secret!! they may be after you.. LOL.. What is really ridiculous is they probably paid the manufacturer less than $500. Personally, I don't get the pricing schemes some companies use such as the "wholesale" "retail" pricing. I don't know what the requirements are at Weaver but places like Tandy seem to be looking solely as easy profit. I would much rather do business with a company that doesn't make you jump through hoops to get a decent price. I am small time compared to a lot of folks doing leather work but I still spend at least $2000 annually for leather and supplies. I'd say that's a bit more than someone that makes one or two small purchases. I'm sure they don't care if I buy from them or not but I'm not going to be forced to pay more unless I prove something.
