Im sadly selling my gently used Strauch Finest Drum Carder. Im located in Wellsburg, NY but will ship at the cost of the buyer. Its pretty heavy though. Im asking $800 with free shipping. PM me is interested. Here is some basic info on the carder directly from Strauch: Having a chain as the drive mechanism provides a constant positive non-slipping action while carding and is far superior to belt drives. The wood frame is solid ash with a Watco Danish oil finish. The large drum 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. An important feature: The tall frame allows the handle to swing freely of the table surface. This unit is equipped with the #05 -128 tpi (teeth per square inch) fine carding cloth on the large drum and our unique Slicker-Licker cloth on the small drum. Designed to handle ALL fibers, including Merino, Llama, Alpaca, Cashmere blend, dog hair and other exotics. The 6 high frame permits a larger sprocket on the small drum giving this carder a 5:1 drum ratio. With minimal turning, you obtain more carding action per revolution. This ratio produces a beautiful, well blended batt. Two to three passes are usually sufficient for a nice spinning batt. Carder is $750 with free shipping.
