I have never seen such a machine in the shoe industry . However i have seen similar machines in the sheet metal fabrication trade. Its basically a type of scissor or shear made for trimming and cutting external circles . How did it end up at a cobbler shop ? My guess is based on my experience as both a shoe maker and metal fabricator . All my machines are under the same roof although in different sections and corners so too someone not in the know they would assume they are all related to the same trade . I would assume the cobbler saw a machine for sale that looked handy and added it this collection only to find it isn't very handy to a cobbler after all . Still a cool machine and worth hanging on to .

Still on the search for a leather tooling artist!

Some are in 2026 and the rest of us will soon be May you live long and prosper. May you have happiness and contentment in all you do. May you stay healthy, or regain good health. I'll be back next year,

Usually the smallest you can use for 138 is size140

Very interesting, I never thought much about that the need for the shoulders to be able to move freely. I see a potential future harness build for my wife's labradoodle. My Newfoundland uses one of those Julius K9 harnesses, and I think it fits her pretty good. Though I am tempted to check according to your description of measurements.

the second spring might be for the P in your clpmn coding. that stands for. Four-motion drop feed but i think we have the same base model machine for the rest.

thanks everybody for your knowledge. ill go see what the problem is with the needles in the coming days. im curious now 😆 these came with the machine. and i think the left ones are these ones so im figuring its set up with the 134-35 needles as you guys been telling me. and the 100/16 size is that right for the threads i wanna sew with it ? sorry if my questions are stupid. the internet teaches me allot but gotta say not all the info is always right it seems 😂

That's some good looking work . . . Most of us would like to see them being "modeled" . . . I for sure would May God bless, Dwight

thanks for the info. i havent been to my storage unit to compare the needles that are in it and with it. the ones in the picture came with the machine. and the ones i mentioned i bought online according to the specs of the machine. so wil see whats what.

thanks. any info is always welcome. and yeah they have a great reputation in the upholstery world so im happy with this machine. the stamping is wonky for sure XD

Nice work!

I believe not, according to user manual, but I can be wrong That makes sens. I intend to use 20 (tex 135) top and 30 (tex 90) bobbin, with a 120 needle. I suppose I'll have to get a new bobbin case for it... I'll give that a try !

Thread underneath the base(on the left) instead on going between it.

There were rougly 10 different hooks for the 545, depending on thread thickness etc. Your hook/machine is set up for very thin thread (likely textile garment production), so no open notch. Likely max. NM 100 thread. Good thing: You could still get parts and adjust the 545. What thread are you intending to use?

Is it maybe supposed to come out over to the right, at the 5:00 position and ride over that tab?

Hello All, I recently had the opportunity to get a Pfaff 545 : And I am experiencing an issue with tension : There isn't any notch neither in bobbin case top, neither in bobbin case base as it normally should (circled in red below, sorry blurry pic). As a consequence, thread is pinched hard while sewing, and pulling the needle thread to the bottom of my work, no matter how I try to set upper tension or bobbin tension. Have any of you having this machine, a similar problem and how did you deal with it ?

Now those gauntlets are finished. Those dragon motives continue on those arm pieces. So they all match together nicely. It was exiting journey, learned some new things Here are crafting video as well:

My Pfaff 545 H2 also came with 134-35 needles, depiste the fact that is should use 134 needels according to Pfaff standards. It has probably been modified to run with with 134-35 needles at some point in it's previous life and I keep it this way

2026 is approaching, i do hope the universe is kind to all of us throughout. I'm 'hibernating ' inside in the cool as its so damn hot outside, and will be for whole week, thank God for beer 🍺 Have a safe and Happy New Year HS
