Members anvlts Posted March 20, 2018 Members Report Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Purchased it three years ago from Bob Kovar, with intention of making knives sheaths (I am a knife maker) and knife rolls, but ended up not using it. Machine is available for viewing and pickup in New Rochelle, New York 10801. Shipping freight will be about $200 to a home address, $135 to a business. Will deliver for free within 60 miles. Comes with a stitching guide. Would consider a reasonable offer. Thanks for looking.

Members LeatherAndBooks Posted March 22, 2018 Members Report Posted March 22, 2018 Hi Marco, I am interested in the machine that you are selling and I am local. Are there any additional accessories with this machine or is as is in the photograph? When was the last time you had it running well? Thanks, Andrew
Members anvlts Posted March 24, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I used it last about two years ago. I did about 4 sheaths,and that's the extend the machine was used. I then moved to a smaller shop and the machine been sitting in my apartment since. About a week ago, I oiled it and did test stitching. The machine is running well. The machine came with a flat table and I purchased a stitching guide as an accessory. There are two feet included. There was a LED light that machine came with (similar is $10-12 on Ebay), but I ended up using it in my shop on another piece of machinery, and it broke at some point.

bikermutt07 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 Dang, I was needing a 4550. I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Thanks, Marko Hi Marko, Sorry about the delay. Okay great! I would be willing to go as high as $1500 if you could bring it into the city. I know its not quite what you were looking for but its all that I could come up with now. I am interested because as a bookbinder I have been wanting a heavy stitcher for quite some time for tasks around the shop and the odd tool roll etc. Also I would offer, if you were interested, a hand bound leather covered sketchbook to sweeten the deal. Let me know. Thanks, Andrew
