Fujimarca 708
The Fujimarca 708 is our most entry level commercial shaver. This machine is good for mobile operations and could be used as a back up machine in the event that your main machine fails. The Fujimarca 708 is gear driven, and runs a bit slower than that of the Fujimarca 709S. This machine is very easy to maintain and service and could operate for years without much down time. Unlike the 709SE, this machines blade adjustment is controlled by two balancing screws, very much alike the Fujimarca MC 711 manual shaver. This would mean that the blade is not meant for constant adjusting, but rather a set setting. In terms of shave ice texture, the most comparable would be either a Hatsuyuki cube shaver or the Fujimarca manual shaver.
Fujimarca 709S
The Fujimarca 709S would be our mid range level commercial shaver. This machine shares the same body and many parts to that of the Fujimarca 709SE. The Fujimarca 709 shares the same motor as the 708, however it is not the heavy duty motor that is found on the 709SE. Aside from motor difference, the only other major difference between the Fujimarca 709 S and the 709 SE is the blade adjustment. The 709SE has a knob adjustment to the left of the machine, which helps fine tune your shaving texture. The 709 S's blade adjustment is similar to that of a manual machine, where you have to balance two screws in order.
