Dang, that looks sweet... Better then my pops one... He has one from National Carpet I believe. How much does that vac hold?

 

[Jack May]

I was going to say "I think it's a 5 litre capacity" but that in all likelyhood doesnt mean jack to you

I DON'T KNOW :roll:

Um. Maybe I just haven't been around the block as much as I thought but I have no clue what that is or does?

John is that a machine that trims frayed edges on carpet squares?

 

[J Scott W]

Looks like a carpet micro shear. Trims the top of the pile yarns to even height. Great tool fro correcting some issues that can look like color variation.

I used one once, but it was borrowed. Never owned one.

great idea......

CUT THE DIRT OFF..........!

for de pilling carpet. I'm still learning about them, but seems a lot of wool or wool rich carpets require de pilling or cropping 9-12 months into their life.

My main clients will be the carpet manufacturers, but I'm hoping to pick up a bit of retailer referral work direct with the public through retailer education.

Yep, right over my head... Pops had to go to Maui for a shearing job. He did over 2,500sf of wool carpet. National Carpet had a batch of defective blades for the shearing machine from china. It was only cutting 6" of the 12" i believe. He was a bit grumpy... Lmao...
