The Petite is a manual drum carder with a polyurethane drive belt. This carder is part of our product line specifically for fiber artists who have budget or space considerations but want Strauch quality.The Petite is an excellent choice for a mid-sized carder with full sized features. The Petite is slightly smaller (6?_" wide drums) than the standard chain drive (-3/4" wide) models. As with the chain drive models, the 05 fine cloth on the large drum and "Slicker-Licker" on the small drum is standard.Unique to this carder is that it is available in kit form as well as fully assembled. Kit comes with everything you need. A word of caution, however, being a belt drive carder, it is designed for the occasional user. If you plan to do a lot of fiber processing, consider the durability of the chain drive series.Special tools included with each Petite (both kit and assembled) are: * The popular Knuckle-Saving-Batt-Pick, an invaluable tool for removing the batt without damage to the equipment or the user. * Doffer/Cleaner Brush to thoroughly and easily clean any residual fibers from the carding drum. * A small cleaner/dabber brush for use on the licker drum. * Table clamps to secure the carder to the work surface.This product will ship directly from the manufacturer - please call for lead times if you need it quickly.
