KIT Manual DRUM CARDER

Our Kit 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 3/8 aluminum handles for flex-free turning strength. They are built using modern methods, quality parts, and handcrafted care. The drums come pre-adjusted for optimum performance; however, they can be easily readjusted for your varying requirements.

The Kit has a 4 to 1 drive ratio. It features a poly-belt drive that does not slip, for smooth operation. It has 1/2" long carder wire, giving you the ability to produce thick batts. It is 15" in length, 7" wide, and weighs approximately 10.5 pounds. Kit drum carders are made from 100% North American Red Oak hardwoods. The slide-out feed tray is made from one-quarter-inch hardwood veneer.

Our drum carders are sanded and finished with Orange Tung oil combination to protect the wood from splitting in dry climates.

This drum carder is dressed with solid brass strips and all adjustment screws are stainless steel or zinc plated for a long and rust free life. At half the width of our " Fancy Kitty Kitten Drum Carder", it has an 4.25" wide drum that will produce batts 22" long.

We offer various Carding Cloth TPI combinations for the licker-in and the swift.  This allows you to choose the combination that best meets your personal fiber carding needs. Please select the combination you need from the drop down menu when you place your order.

Rubber nonskid feet, one hold-down clamp (that is installed with a zinc plated steel screw, set in a brass insert), and a bit to 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.
