New Strauch Finest Motorized Electric Drum Carder Series 400

Description

This listing is for the Strauch Motorized Drum Carder, the series 400 "Finest"
They are "high tech" drum carders having both infinitely variable speed AND reversibility features. The "infinitely variable speed" feature (not just two or three speed settings) is a God-send when working with fine fibers like alpaca, merino and cashmere.
Our carders use very high quality, durable, electronically controlled motors that are made in the USA! All these machines have been extensively beta tested by some "heavy duty" fiber artists and they all have raved about the design, workmanship and durability.
The dimensions of these carders are the same as their manual counterparts.
The large drum on the single width carder is 7" in diameter x 8¼" wide. The small drum is 2" in diameter x 8" wide. The carder produces a batt approximately 8" wide x 22" long. The frame is 24" long, 11½" wide, 6" high     Fine cloth 128 teeth/sq.in
This carder will be shipped directly from the company, it may take a week before they are ready to ship.
