Re: pricing of new industrial embr. machines

The Barudan single-head bridge is an industrial machine and performs like one.
Also, I can't imagine purchasing a multi-head machine that does not have at least cap capability.
That being said, remember that nearly everything is negotiable, particularly now when the machine sales market is as depressed as it is.
My recommendation is to purchase the best machine on the market and let them know what you want to spend. You can expect around $60-$70k for an 8-head machine.

My sentiments exactly, Industrial refers to the Construction! Anyone buying an industrial machine without an included cap capability is shooting themselves in the foot. Also an 8 head machine is quite large and many Commercial/Industrial Embroiderers may not have the room for one. I don't know about you, but just because you have an 8 head that doesn't make you a commercial embroiderer and in many instances I believe it would be a waste of $$. I'd rather have a 4 head, a 2 head and 2 singles for a total of 8 heads. I would have much greater versatility in programing my runs efficiently.
But an 8 will run you as stated 60 - 70K US.
