Series 400
For those who need a larger production size machine, a Finest doublewide model 405×2-BA is available. Part of the flagship Finest model series, this top-of-the-line model has drums twice as wide as the regular Finest.
Other than size, our doublewide drum carder has the identical features and benefits as the singlewide version and comes complete with all available accessories including the Brush Attachment.
An important feature: The tall frame allows the handle to swing free of the table surface.
Designed to handle ALL fibers, including merino, llama, alpaca, cashmere, cotton blend, dog hair ……… on and on. A truly universal machine!
It is also available as a motorized model. If you choose the manual model, it can later be upgraded to a motorized carder.

Carola –
The drum carder is wonderful!
Seeing it the first time I was surprised, it is quite huge. It makes large bats that I am going to use for pillows. With slow speed it takes a large amount of fine fiber.
