We are pleased to offer the Fancy Kitty "Big Tom Wide". The wide cottage industry powered drum carder. We will put this carder up against all comers. It is rich with many features that many of the most expensive cottage industry carders do not have, but low in price.
-Overview-
It is constructed with 3/4" solid American red oak & has a gorgeous Tung Oil finish. The frame is 22.5" long, 18" wide, and 15" tall, with the final product weighing 50 pounds.
Big Tom Wide features a 17" wide, 12" tall swift is available in several tpi carding cloth standard and creates a batt 38" long. The Licker-in is also available with various tpi carding cloth. This allows you to choose the carding cloth TPI that best meets your personal fiber carding needs. You choose the option you want in the drop down menu when you place your order.
It features not one, but two gear head motors that can be individually adjusted for speed, and they are both reversible. One motor runs the licker-in, the second motor runs the swift. This means you don't just have one or two carding ratios, you have infinite control of the feed to card ratio, from extremely slow to fast on either the licker-in or swift.
The power is transferred to both drums via a tooth belt pully and belt system that is as strong as the chain drive, but quiet and requires no maintenance.
Both axles run in sealed ball bearings for super smooth & maintenance free operation.
We offer an auxiliary drum assembly that can be changed by removing and re-installing the four swift adjusting screws. It is an option available in the following available cloth densities, 54, 72, 90, 120, 190 tpi. This means you can card any type of fiber with ONE drum carder.
THIS CARDER INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING KIT: 8"Burnishing Brush, Doffer Hook, Dental Pick and Hemostat
