Scharf-Fix Leather Paring Machine

We are very pleased to advise that with the help of the manufacturer, we are now able to offer the Scharf-Fix at a much reduced price.

A simple device without complicated mechanisms or motors. It allows the paring of leather to become a simple routine. Edge-paring and corners are a 'breeze' to undertake and as it is also so precise, preparing onlays and inlays become easy tasks. It can also cope with handling large areas of leather. The machine is provided with 3 roller-cylinders of different widths - 4, 8 and 12mm to make it capable of paring even narrow pieces. The patented mechanism of the Scharf-Fix automatically makes the knife stay in the chosen position, so there is no need for time consuming readjustments.

New (Reduced) Price: £285.00 each
