Consew Industrial Machine

[Smith]

Can anyone give me some feedback on whether or not this is a good industrial machine for dealing with the layers of backing and fabric that is required when you are recon-ing a shoe?
Talking about Specs and not price for the moment, is this the kind of machine you experienced customizers use? I researched on Leatherworker.net for basic information about the kind of machine I should be looking for, and decided against a Patch Machine because it severly limits the projects you are capable of performing, and is twice the price. Any feedback would be helpful!

JBF might have an answer for you. I know he uses an industrial machine.
I personally get by with a Singer Heavy Duty machine
