Currently these are available for pre-order and will be shipping in 6-8 weeks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E3CAQgqRZSw?si=zqkHnrS_66dPRGsb\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI developed this carder with several requirements in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe carder needed to be \u003cstrong\u003eeasy to clean\u003c\/strong\u003e. (This includes our original swift cleaner so the swift can be cleaned in 5 seconds.) Magnetic pulleys on the swift and licker in, and magnetic belt cover clip off. You can access the base of the shafts on both the swift and licker in for cleaning in less than 30 seconds for easy cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI wanted \u003cstrong\u003eindependent motor drives\u003c\/strong\u003e for a wider ratio to achieve ultra blending capabilities. This one has a 5:1 all the way to an impressive 17:1 ratio that I absolutely love. 17:1 ratio means the swift turns 17 times for every one rotation of the licker in. This means it is carding through less fiber at a time and more evenly distributes the fiber around the drum. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI wanted \u003cstrong\u003erepeatable speed and ratio settings\u003c\/strong\u003e so you were not trying to estimate an approximate setting you found and liked. (This carder locks into absolute ratios and speeds so you can easily experiment and change it back to exactly where you had it before in a couple seconds) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI wanted to be able to \u003cstrong\u003eremove the batt without putting the carder in reverse\u003c\/strong\u003e so it could be easily pulled off at my own pace. I made the swift spin freely so the batt can be removed without power applied. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything needed to be \u003cstrong\u003eintuitive to use\u003c\/strong\u003e. Every knob and switch placement, colors, labels and behavior was designed and placed with thought behind each one. The tools needed to fit inside the carder in easy reach so you don't lose them in the middle of a batt.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not nearly all I packed into the carder.

Also, the ratio speeds always stay absolute and scale with the speed so your speed settings don't mess with your more important ratio settings. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo powerful independent motors \u003c\/strong\u003efor the best ratio range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Spinning Swift for easy batt removal. \u003c\/strong\u003e(No need to put the carder in reverse to remove the batt.) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable speed\u003c\/strong\u003e with 7 speed settings for your most delicate fibers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Style Licker-in\u003c\/strong\u003e (Doesn't tend to collect and wrap much fiber) This is especially helpful with short fine fibers that tend to collect on the licker in. In my tests I accumulated less than half the quantity on the licker in compared to a traditional licker in on rabbit fur and it did a beautiful job carding) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to remove drums\u003c\/strong\u003e - Easy to remove drums - The swift can be removed and installed ready-to-use without tools in less than 60 seconds. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard Tool Tray Attachments store inside front of carder. \u003c\/strong\u003eRight where you need it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable in seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e with the Quick Adjust Licker-in Levers (No tools required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacker Brush with one knob attach\u003c\/strong\u003e.
