Wiscrafts, I'm going to test the machine out on Wed. If the transition from 0 to 200 is not smooth then I'll be opting out of that servo motor and instead will purchase one of the suggested models Are these the servo motors you're talking of? http://atlaslevy.3dcartstores.com/Family-Electronic-Servo-Motor-FESM-550N_p_597.html http://store.keysew.com/family-fesm-550n -Thanks

Thank you Wizcrafts, I'll definately pay them a visit to take a test. I was told that the motor reduces all the way down to 200RPM.

Thanks for all your help guys. I lost the opportunity to buy the Sailrite 111 so now I have a question about a good servo motor because the one I was quoted with the Juki is a servo 110 550 watt FESM 550s variable speed. What is your opinion on this motor or should I just get the juki and table for $1,400 and get a servo motor elsewhere? I need a servo that can be slowed down where i can sew one stitch at a time if need be but one that doesn't loose power/torque. - Thank you

Thanks Tnawrot2, May I ask what type of work you use your Juki for?

Hi all, I'm in the process of buying a compound Walking Foot sewing machine and was looking at either the Juki 1541S and the Sailrite 111. I'm being offered an almost new and complete Sailrite 111 along with their MC-SCR motor for $875 (valued a little over $1,300 new). I'm also looking at a new Juki 1541S which is approximately $1,550 complete. I plan on using the machines to sew bags made of Waxed canvas twill up to a 18oz which also incorporate leather with a maximum thickness of 3/8". I'm leaning toward the Sailrite simply because it seems to be a great deal. I have tried both machines and like the results of both. Are these machines a good choice for what I plan on using it for? I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you John
