Bill:
I use the chain uncapper myself after having graduated by fire, as it
were, from hand uncapping a huge crop. I am satisfied with the system in
that it still doesn't have the sort of throughput that a cowan knife
uncapper does, but is a big step forward in throughput without any
comprimise in damage to frames or the combs.
BTW, My cousin has a maxant chain uncapper for sale right now. If you
like I can get you more info. Given the depressed state of Cdn beekeeping
and dollar, You can probably get it for less than 1/2 price American. It
was used for 1 Year only, as he inherited a much larger outfit, etc.
I can send you photo's or whatever...
Let me know. Shipping would be easy, since you don't need it till next year.
