    Machine COST

    I think such a machine would be a custom design, with VERY limited sales potential.

    IF XYZ Kilts paid for the design, fabrication, installation, and adjustments of such a machine, how many kilts would it have to make to recover initial costs?? How many years would be required to sell these kilts??

    My opinion is that kilt making is not practical for high productivity automation; no matter how fast and economical the production cost becomes.

    There is a limited number of kilts that will be bought at ANY price.

    e.g. ABSURD low price LIMIT = Cost of Tartan Material + $1 (for using your machine) + $10 shipping.

    *Editing* Just noticed that you are in Belgium. Shipping to US market would be higher and there could/would be Customs Duties.

    Yes we would buy more kilts. But, don't think we would buy enough for you and your machine to make a profit.

    My advice is free, and possibly overpriced.
