WOW ....I"m crying ...the freight to me would be ridiculous but I have paid 10 times more than that for smaller ones. For those of you that want to do serious production on wallets and stuff you better be quick. Here is a Very inexperienced operator showing one of these off and I can tell you we do pocket tops on something like this machine at the rate of about 10 secs per. Hint ...take of that silly bar in front if you are doing anything less than 2 hand widths wide caus its way quicker to hold it by hand. Anyway here is the link

Forgot to mention ...the holes cut in the table top would have been cut out for zip pulls to sit down into and the other one probably for the centre bridge section of a wallet to sit down into so the top section can be done straight across. A teflon cover on the table will make it way quicker and nice to operate on.

I've always wondered what those were for Thanks for the info,  makes perfect sense but I never would have thought about that.  The above video is the only one I have found showing the Rossley table too.

That's pretty interesting.  My Rossley doesn't have any cuts like this one does.   

I've got an electric heating element on mine w/control box. Ever use one like that?

I am sure like myself the previous owner made them to suit those applications. Most jobs are small like credit card pockets and it is easy to avoid the hole when doing those.

I have had an OMAC one that has heated plates top and bottom with the option of a raised section for putting in a crease line at the same time as the folding. I used it a lot but when it developed problems with the main board they advised me that they dont have those parts available for machines over 5 years old. Cost about $12,000 au here and they still sell the same machine that all works the same except perhaps the main board section. I prefer now to stick with what I can do with the manual versions.

Yikes at that price cant believe parts arent still available,    I'm not sure all of the machines in my shop add up to that lol.
