You have found the "Fancy Kitty Kitten drum carder". This is not just an inexpensive carder, we challenge you to
find a better carder at any price.
We at Anderson Originals are proud to offer the "Fancy Kitty" brand fiber drum carders. We have been avid spinners,
knitters, and crocheters for many years, and all our products are hand crafted in our family workshops in the good old USA.
Our kitten drum carders feature fully adjustable drums mounted on steel axles with sealed steel ball bearings on both the
swift and licker-in for silky smooth lubrication free operation. They have three eights aluminum handles for flex free turning
strength. They are built using modern methods, quality parts, and hand crafted care. The drums come preadjusted for
optimum performance; however, can be easily readjusted for your varying requirements.
It has a 4 to 1 drive ratio.
It features a polybelt drive, that does not slip, for smooth operation.
It has one half-inch long carder wire giving you the ability to produce thick bats.
It is 15 inches in length; 15 inches wide, and weighs approximately 10 pounds. They are made from 100% North American
Red Oak hardwoods. The slide out feed tray is made from one quarter inch hardwood veneer.
They are sanded and unfinished. They may be finished simply with a tung or other oil finish or left unfinished. We
recommend some type of finish be applied if you are located in a very dry climate to protect the wood from splitting.
It is dressed with solid brass strips and all adjustment screws are stainless steel or zinc plated, for a long and rust free life.
Just like its' big brother "The Fancy Kitty Drum Carder", it has an 8.5 inch wide drum that will produce bats 22 inches long.

fit the adjustment screws are included with the carder.
With the exception of the screw-on handle, it will arrive fully assembled and ready to use at no extra charge.
We offer a one year warranty on cloth & belts (normal wear & tear) and life time limited warranty on all hard parts and
workmanship, to the original buyer, as well as parts and repair to anyone.

Auxiliary Secondary Swift Assembly
You no longer need to purchase two different drum
carders for different fiber types, just purchase a
secondary swift assembly with the cloth you
require. Remove the four swift adjusting screws,
lift the off the existing swift and replace it with the
auxiliary swift, replace the four swift adjusting
screws. Adjust the swift to the licker-in, and you are
ready to card.

In keeping with our philosophy of low cost high end
features, the motor kit has the following features:
1. It uses an expensive gear drive motor that turns
slowly allowing the use of small pulleys, but has a
great amount of torque (turning power). It will
maintain the speed at which you set it and not bog
down. It also uses tooth belt pulleys that feature the
same no slip quality of chain drive, but with no
required maintenance and very quite operation.
2. It has fully adjustable speed control, from 0 to 60
rounds (on the swift) per minute. (Because the motor
drives the swift, it will have the same 4 to 1 ratio on
the swift to licker-in. (Just like turning it by hand.)
3. It is reversible. Great for removing batts or dizing
a roving off the swift.
4. It will work with our brush attachment.
5. For our current customers, it will EASILY install on
your existing Kitten carder with a screwdriver and
adjustable wrench.
6. The entire assembly which consists of a frame,
two pulleys, gear head motor, motor controller with
speed control/on off switch/reverse switch, tooth
belt, power supply, and power cord will be contained
in an approximately 3.5 inch tall red oak frame that
will fit under the existing Kitten drum carder and
match perfectly.
This gives our customers the ability to purchase a
high quality, full sized, full featured, motorized drum
carder for about the same price as our competitors
standard manual drum carders!
