The Finest - Motorised Finest

​Single Wide Chain Drive (DCM-405)
  • Motorised series of Finest drum carders 
  • Includes both the singlewide and doublewide machines
  • In addition, both existing Strauch hand crank chain drive Finest models can be upgraded to the motorized version
  • Truly unique in the marketplace and built with the same high standards as the hand crank models.
  • Very high quality, durable, electronically controlled motors made in the USA

Features: High tech drum carders having both infinitely variable speed AND reversibility features. The "infinitely variable speed" feature (not just two or three speed settings) is a God-send when working with fine fibers like alpaca, merino and cashmere.
All these machines have been extensively beta tested by some "heavy duty" fiber artists and they all have raved about the design, workmanship, and durability.


UPGRADING EXISTING MANUAL CARDERS: Because of the complexity of the upgrade, the machine needs to be returned to SFE.
