    Cutting the center out will be easy enough with a flush cut router bit. I used to have a huge cabinetry shop and the routers are the heart of every project I do. I can even use my worn out wood molds to build the new ones. I've cut lost of plex in the past but acrylic will be new to me. Surely it can't be harder than the micarta scales I've been Cutting can it?

    I wish you good fortune getting the center holes cut out haha. I used a round drill bit in the four corners and then a jigsaw on the one I showed up top. That one is my first and only mold as yet but trying to think of a better way to get it done I got some diamond “cut-out” bits for the dremel tool that I’m going to try on the next one and see how that works out. Additionally i bought a 100T (100 tooth) triple ground tooth saw blade for my 10” blade miter box that’s gets really smooth cuts for acrylic and will also cut aluminum. I used that blade to cut out the sheath form inset piece and it worked really good. Nice glass smooth cuts. Definitely wear a dusk mask though. I learned the hard way on that. I got this blade on amazon for about $50..

    Idea; lightly tap down the stitches with a light smooth headed mallet

    I started working on my sets of leather pieces and then realized that today and next week, the temperatures are going to be unusually low for this area and the leathers have not been exposed to such low temps. So I postponed my updates until after the temperatures rise to a reasonable level (for this area) next week. Let's see how they react to such temperatures. I will check on them when the temperatures are low as well.

    Looks great. You may want to try burnishing your edges, it'll give it a sleekery look.

    A bit over-the-top.....but it suits the knife! Very nice work.

    I had 2 of those in the Classic version. They were ok/decent machines, but slow. I broke more needles on them than anything else. What do you mean jump foot with a spring?
  25. Cumberland Highpower
    Well, I have Seikos, Consews, Adlers, Brothers and a Nakajima that all take the 135x needle system. Half of those are triple feed. A jump foot can have the same external "footprint" of a triple feed inner and outer foot set, yet have over twice the actual surface area of either individual foot to spread pressure out on the work. If I had needle feed and a jump foot, I could just use a needle plate with a slot and eliminate the feed dog. It's just something I'd like to have. Not a necessity. Why not? Looks like the 44-9 isn't a needle feed after all. just looked it up.

    Looks good. When you have a limited edition knife, you can go with a limited edition sheath.

    I don’t know if I’m just an incredible novice and this isn’t the same problem, but I was having this issue and couldn’t figure it out, then came to realize that when changing stitch lengths I needed to manually lift the reverser arm all the way up then use as normal. When I used the dial to adjust stitch length, it does move the arm up some, but not as far as it needs to be, which seems to result in short backstitches. Just throwing it out there as a possible solution. I know this post is a few years old, but being as it’s one of the first google results I got, thought it might be worth posting.

    Thanks, Constabulary! That could be the case. I will test the bar today. I do have a new one in case it is bent. I guess not many people use this machine... So I did some digging and testing...Turns out the presser bars are too close together. I'm in the process of adjusting that distance. Unfortunately whoever worked on the machine previously was an idiot. So many screws have mangled stripped heads. I need to get a big screw loose to make the adjustment. It's inside the machine, so not easily accessible. It's frozen and stripped. Going to tackle it right now and hope I get it loose.

    That would be great!
