Andrew Chee Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Price: $1200 I am selling an excellent condition Consew 206RB-5. It comes with: Complete machine with table Consew needle positioner servo Speed reducer Adjustable drop down edge guide Custom made feed plate I have modified the machine in several ways. I have modified the servo motor for better speed control. You can see info on that here: I have also had a feed plate made for me that has a smaller opening than the existing feed plate. coupled with a modified smaller feed dog, the machine can handle thin material better. This also allows the use of a no-toe outer presser foot for situations where you have to sew in a really narrow area. The machine is currently set up for 138 thread. I am in the SF Bay area (near Oakland airport) and am only able to sell to someone locally since I am not able to pack and ship this machine. This machine basically has everything you could want to sew leather. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leather by LOU Report post Posted August 30, 2013 would you consider selling the modified feed plate? I already own a con sew and would be interested in that. I too have upgraded to a servo, and speed reducer and flip down roller guide but I sew a lot of thinner stuff and the feed plate sounds interesting. otherwise could you tell me more about how it was made? Thanks! good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Chee Report post Posted August 30, 2013 I'm not selling the needle plate. I had a local machinist make it for me. The needle plate was one that I bought off eBay. Not sure what machine it was for but it had the same exact dimensions as the consew plate except instead of a slot for the feed dog, it only had a needle hole. I had the machinist mill out a slot for me the same width as the feed dog but a few MMs shorter on each end. That way, I could take an outer presser foot, grind of the toes and it will work just fine. With the original feed Dog and slot the outer toe heel would press down on the feed dog and it wouldnt feed. The only other thing you have to do is to grind down the feed dog so it clears the slot. Hope this helps. Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
