[GBW] Paring Machine

["J. Hewit & Sons Ltd. - David Lanning" <sales@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Recent discussion regarding paring machines, has prompted me to advise you
all, that the Brockman Paring Machine is no longer manufactured.  James
Brockman stopped making them a few years ago.

However, with his blessing, another company is developing an updated version
of the paring machine. They new machine is in prototype stage at the moment
and we at Hewits are hoping to be in a position to bring you more news
regarding product specification and launch date sometime in the Summer.

best wishes,

David

> I have both the Brockman and Scharf-Fix 2000, and I think I like the
> Brockman better for a couple of reasons. .  If paring a large area, the
> anvil that the leather rests on is less likely to mark the fleshside of
the
> leather, compared to the roller that the Scarf-Fix uses.  Also, the
Brockman
> has a curved support for the blade, which makes it possible to use
standard
> double edge razor blades.   I have picked up a number of full boxes of new
> "old" blades at flea markets for cheaper.  Also, the blade cuts through
the
> leather at a more direct angle, which I think minimizes the tendency to
tear
