Looking for a strap cutting machine and info

[TouchOfFur]

I'm currently looking at a CB 818 belt and strap cutting machine.  I'm not finding a whole lot of info anywhere on the internet about where to actually purchase one or see one in action since some websites are down or they're out of stock.  If anyone is a rep or has one for sale (I'm in Las Vegas, NV USA) please email me at bedroomwishes@gmail.com

I'd like to stay in the area of $2000 give or take.

I'm also open to other cutting machines.  Needs to be motorized and have at least 14 inches of usable cutting area.  I was told about a German made one that is very good but I am just not finding much.  If anyone could help me out that would be awesome.

These are the questions I have about the 818 but I'm open to other models:

• Will this machine cut leather into fringe while keeping a half inch untouched?
• We need to feed the leather in, have it cut, and be able to remove it from the same way without it passing all the way through.  Is that how it works?
• Can we use the entire area to cut at the same time?  How much space is usable? 
• Do we need to purchase additional spacers to be able to use the entire area at a half inch? 
• Can we put half inch spacers on the majority of it and 3/8ths on the rest so we can use it for all of our cutting needs without having to disassemble it?  
• Does the deck (where the leather lays) drop down?

There are specialized machines for making fringe that sit on an industrial sewing stand and use a clutch motor, one in mind is a Chandler model.802 fringe cutting machine. There are also some foreign models.  

This is an old listing for a Chandler, just click on it and it will take to the old listing. I did not want to bring in the picture, that cropped somehow or the video at the bottom, but here you go anyways.

 

Here is a video of a guy making fringe with a strap cutter,
