Customers at the recent Cutting Edge exhibition were especially responsive to Standard's new 700 VS finishing machine - the first in a range of new generation 700 finishing machines in the process of development - demonstrated for the first time. Shoe repairers recognised that finally an engineering company has taken account of their needs whilst developing machines - the three speed option available in the bands will clearly assist in the safe processing of plastic materials and the reduction in both noise and burning. In addition the tungsten steel variable forepart trimmer option means no more lost bayonets, bayonet changing or another sharpening.

Standard are offering this' particular model as the start of a comprehensive new range to run alongside the well-known basic 700 finisher.

HEEL ATTATCHER - no longer supplied as of 2005

The new repairers low cost heel attaching machine with pneumatically driven nails was the subject of much interest because of the volume of stiletto heels still around - and pundits forecast another year!! Good news for the industry. The machine has a newly developed 3 pin thin heel stand specifically to cater for current fashions as well as the conventional 6 pin stand. The pneumatic drive runs from the small Bambi Compressor as used in presses and guns. Full details from Standard Engineering Tel 01536 517070
