  1. i have had my cobra for 1 yr this month , has the same model motor as yours , also the speed controller works just like yours . the display on my motor displays rpm, i usually sew at 600 rpm. i noticed yours displays 1-?. probably some way to change display. i have had my cobra for 1 yr this month , has the same model motor as yours , also the speed controller works just like yours . the display on my motor displays rpm, i usually sew at 600 rpm. i noticed yours displays 1-?. probably some way to change display.
  2. when i received my cobra it was way out of time ,, steve walked me through timing it. took a little trial and error to get it right . mine doesnt have much variation in speed with the pedal , but i dont sew fast either. like you i was sewing on a tippmann. i was comfortable with a little more speed. hope you find a answer . i sew at around 600 rpm on holsters. little higher on belts i am sure steve will help you
  3. check you tube, my wife learned how to make the bracelets there

    try grey ghost graphics, i think they can make you a template , like tandy craftaid
  5. received mine today , thanks for the fast shipping
  6. a couple of weeks ago i drove to springfield leather , wanted to personally select some hermann oak , great store and real nice sales people. i have ordered some things by phone before and service was great. but after a 5 hr. drive i was directed to 5 or 6 rolled up sides under a table full of mexican import hides. i didn't even bother to unroll them they were rolled so tight. was dissapointed to say the least but i guess i should have called before i left home. if you get a chance to go to springfield , it is a great place to visit and they are currently expanding . still managed to buy a few supplies i needed.

  9. i dont think most customers recognize the development process involved. even after purchasing a dummy it takes me three tries to get a holster where i am happy with it. i use cheap bellies for my trial fittings.i have my own guns and a few airsoft replicas i use for forming, i dont have a website , and make holsters to support my addiction . if i was full time builder i would invest in the blue gun and charge a small custom charge. dont think a customer would care about the extra charge
  10. i use cheap belly for my first and second holster when trying a new pattern .. usually get thrown away anyway
  11. particle , i had the same problem with the stohlman buckle. i just bought a oval punch ,size 9 1/4 in. after reading your post i used it to re punch my round holes and it is laying much flatter. with a little use i think it will be fine. thanks for the incentive.
  12. o when i received my machine i was told to only change speeds with the motor running or it would change the direction of the motor. try to call steve at leather mach co. id bet he will answer, maybe he can explain
  13. springfield leather has .06 kydex and .093 @ 4.75 sq ft. i am going to buy a 1 ft. x 4 ft piece next week and have it cut on a sheet metal shear in narrow strips. let you know how it turns out. a friend at a local plastic supply shop said abs plastic sheets tend to crack in cold weather but kydex will not?
  14. sail rite has the press n snap on sale now for 35.00 off 114.00 after disc
