RAW HIDE FLESHING MACHINERY

Since starting in 1978 our business has evolved full circle. We have bought back machinery that was manufactured years ago and also have other Fur Dressing Machinery for sale that are used in processing animal hides and furs. We have purchased this machinery from closed Fur Dressers and Tanneries in North America. 

This has happened because our customer base of Fur Dressers in Canada have retired and closed their tanneries including six Dressers in Canada - Reliable in Toronto, G & G of Montreal, Tanbec of Quebec City, Modern of Montreal, Tannery of the North in Quebec City, and the latest D Cohn Trans Canada in Winnipeg. 

With a supply of  used arbors** from these  Dressers we are re-manufacturing them in to 6203 2RS bearing (40 mm OD 17 mm ID) with retaining rings to hold the bearings tight within new shafts. With this inventory of used arbors** and a few used Fleshing Frames, we are set providing buyers  up with a machine which utilizes  a pre-owned arbor** which has  New Bearings and Used Frames at  1/2 the price of new machines.

We also offer NEW Frames with Bronze Guards, a sharp New Fleshing knife, Sharpening Steels, and a V Belt with a used Arbor** and save $ 200 to $300 off the price of a completely New Fleshing Machine. New motors are extra on all used machinery - New motors are included in the price with completely new machines.

We provide instruction and training  on how to flesh and shave using these Fleshing Machines and keeping the knife sharp while fleshing by sharpening every 2 to 3 minutes of blade use. This  make the shins cut like butter. You will learn how to  flesh a raw deer cape in 5 to 6 minutes and shave in 7 minutes, and how to Steel Up (keeping the knife sharp while in use) with the Sharpening Steels we provide.

We can also supply Fleshing Knives, Sharpening Steels, and a Regrinding Service for dull knives ,available with same day service  

So, BEFORE you buy any Fleshing Machine, PLEASE take a look at our 3 different models and try them yourself FREE OF CHARGE in our offices.

 Also don't forget our New  Fleshing Knives, and our Regrinding Service

**ARBOR - is used to spin the circular fleshing knife  Grinding Machine.

Wet Drums Coming Soon / In Development.

The whole purpose of using the circular knife fleshing machine is to prepare the skins to cut like butter, NOT BURLAP. The preparation of the skin before fleshing means everything because if the skins or hides are improperly prepared, it will result in extra hard pulling of the skin to flesh it across the rotating fleshing knife. This results in Carpel Tunnel syndrome in the wrists of the flesher, which means  you are doing it to yourself with improper chemicals and training. Pick up your fleshing machine at our headquarters and receive one hour FREE Training by appointment only. 

Bring 2 capes/furs. One pickled your way and we will use 
our method while you are here and see the difference.
