rotary shaver question

I have had the great fortune to mentor under a retiring taxidermist for around a year now part-time. We scrape mostly small mammals with a fleshing beam and a knife.Then salt, then pickle with an auto tanner. What I am wondering after the pickle we seem to be spending an awful lot of time picking or stripping bits and pieces off the skin sometimes he uses a drill with a wire wheel on the skin at this point. When the pelts are initially scraped they are darn clean before the salting. Would a rotary flesher help us 1. in the first fleshing 2. after the pickle for a more uniform shaving of the skin.Thanks Bill

i dont how anyone gets by witout it

Thanks Terryr

Thanks for your responce I will try to decide which one to get I like the adjustments on the Van Dyke pro. Thanks again Bill

It works great

for taking all that fat off of coons right after you pickle em. I scraped mine down as best i could, but still wasn't satisfied it was clean enough, so i fleshed them...it worked great except for the gigantic mess !
