Our original model is an air-powered, handheld fleshing / shaving tool that allows the user to quickly and easily flesh and thin hides for taxidermy and tanning purposes.
The Mini-flesher uses a thin serrated blade rather than a fleshing type blade like the big circular fleshers. Our blade works on the principle of a high speed tearing action rather than a sharp cutting action.
The mini-flesher is a variable speed unit, the blade guard is fully adjustable allowing a wide range of cutting depths. The guard is very close to the blade allowing total control when fleshing around tender areas.
The recommended air supply for the Mini-flesher is an air compressor of 2 horsepower or larger with a comparably sized tank. Recommended running pressure ranges: 45 to 90 p.s.i. The Mini-flesher uses approximately 4 cubic feet per minute of air at 90 pounds of pressure to run at full speed.
Each Mini-flesher is constructed of heavy-duty materials. All units are hand-assembled and each is visually inspected for quality and any flaws in workmanship. 100% assembled in the U.S.A.
