Thank you. I found what I was looking for on Ebay. Best, Rob

Thank you.

The posts on the snaps that I have now are 3/8 long. I need a bit longer.

Thank you. I do a lot of work on nylon tactical gear myself. I am friends with the owner of LBT and I get all of my hardware both plastic and metal from him however the snaps that he stocks do not have a long enough barrel for the leather I am working on at the moment. Best, Rob

Hello, New guy here looking for a place that sells four piece black brass snaps. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Best, Rob

Hello, I've been lurking on here for a bit and it seems that you all have a great forum with with friendly folks. I've been sewing for a while but I'm not a master craftsman by any stretch of the imagination. I sew leather from time to time but mostly sew heavy nylon webbing and such. I buy and sell surplus military gear mostly and many of the items are in need of repair. I am friends with the owner of a large nylon gear manufacturing company (London Bridge Trading Co.) and he has supplied me with a Consew 206RB and Juki 980 bar tacker. I enjoy using these machines very much and they have completed every task that I've thrown at them. I'm not technically savvy regarding combinations of thread sizes for top and bottom spools and such but yesterday I tried for the first time 3 cord (207) thread top and bottom on the 206 and it worked well. I did have to play with the tension a little to get it right but it did what I needed. I'd love to get something like a Juki TNU243 for really heavy stuff but I don't do enough of that sewing to make that sort of investment..at the moment anyway. So my question... I'd like to switch out my clutch motor for a servo motor. I'm currently looking at the Consew Premier CSM550 and the Consew CS1000. Can any of the experts on here please suggest one or the other and explain why? Thank you very much for any information. Best, Rob
