Me and a few partners want to start our own custom hat store. I have
been looking at the swf 2 head machine where each head operated
independently. Most of our caps will be one off designs so we need to
take this into consdieration when buying our machines. What are the
best cap/hat machines out there? Swf? Tajima? others? Any help you
could give would be great.

Thanks
CC

The best is the one you are trained on and have experience with.

Whatever do you expect from a known troll?

It appears that most of the people who frequent this group use home
machines, or semi-professional machines..

I have not heard great things about SWF, Renaissance, nor the last
offerings from Melco (Amaya).... I have heard good things about Happy
and Toyota if you are looking at professional machines. With
professional machines, you really need to look at which companies have
trained service technicians in your area frequently. Some of the
compaines will not provide each location with good service, which
would be a big consideration with large machines, as you do not want
prolonged downtime due to lack of a repairman.

Thank you for the response. I have found out that the toyota esp9000 is
suppposed to be very good for hats. Now I have another question i am
trying to figure out. How do you do seam tapping on the inside of hats.
Here is a link to a pitcure of what i am trying to do.

If anyone has any ideas it would be great. Also any other machine
reviews still are valued.
