According to the parts books like it's an "Oil Regulating Screw" - whatever that means! - Bill 255RB-3.pdf Consew255RB-3 parts & opermanual.pdf 255339LSW2BLLSW28BL.pdf

Thanks again Dwight, but no. It's toast. The laptop fell from a table while powered on. I opened the HDD and there's a hard physical crash on the disk surface. I've recovered drives from a minor head touch, but this one you can see bare aluminum through the substrate. - Bill

Check out Don Gonzales he has physical classes. & might offer online classes as well.

Hello folks, I have a Shoe Repair, I have done little saddle repair work. I’d like to get into the saddle repair service. And you recommendations where to start and what to get for startup tools? Are there any online schools? Any comments or recommendations are appreciated. Sam

Calvin & Hobbes in today's paper: 'Mum and dad quietly sitting and reading in front of the open fire . Calvin, getting ready to chuck a snowball: " Incredibly, people NEVER expect to get hit with a snowball IN the house " Hobbes, casually walking away : " I'll see you in your room momentarily " . That's the sort of thing I would have done when I was a kid,if only we had snow. That had me in stitches! Incredibly, 4th year students on the 3rd floor of my high school doing their exams would never expect to get splattered with a rotten tomato . It wasn't me, honest, it was a naughty fellow student. Instead of the tomato going IN the window, it caught the edge of the frame , spraying the students. We got busted big time ! ! HS

It will But you may want to find a version where the control box is separate from the motor. This way the controls can be mounted at the edge of the table where you can play with them. The style you show would require you to climb under the table to tweak any of the settings.

Best way is to fit a speed reducer pulley as well.

I can’t find a manual for the 255rb-1

Dam lol looking to slow it down

it will but depends on your expectations regarding sewing speed. You may need a smaller pulley or speed reducer in addition.

what does the manual or parts list say? I`d guess a drain screw or oil regulating screw for the hook.

Would this work with singer 11w154 to replace the old motor?

I usually make a mess of contact cement. These were better. By a lot. I have a syringe to fill them from a can (kept in the house) and bring one or two of these small glue pens out with me, into the sometimes-frozen leather shop (and radio lab) Anyway, cheap Temu find if anyone wants to try some.

This is a 255rb-1. Can someone tell me what this thing is and how should it be set?

Hi everyone, I have a Landis model 25 or Landis 5 in 1 for sale. The machine is fully refurbished and oiled, rolls smoothly and works like a charm. Skiving blade is freshly sharpened. All parts original except for the spring on the back of the machine which is new. The 5 in 1 has the following functions: - Sole cutter - Sole and heel trimmer - Skiver - Edge beveler - Welt roller The machine has been repainted using high quality spray paint, namely the Montana Gold Metal primer, followed by a coat of color (color ref. "Bone") and high gloss varnish from the same brand. All oiling points have been marked with red. I ask 1350 USD for the machine. I'm a bit flexible with the price but not much. I'm located in Sweden and I can ship it anywhere at the expense of the buyer. Here are some specs: weight: 24 kg or 53 lb shipping weight: 27 kg or 60 lb (will be shipped packed in a box and wrapped tightly in 2" or 5 cm thick polystyrene all around) Height: 61 cm or 2 ft (the top parts can be mounted off for shipping tho, in which case the height lands at about 32 cm or a litte above 1 ft) Width: 42 cm or 16,5" Depth: 20 cm or 8" Comment below or DM me if you're interested Cheers, Grace

That’s really awesome for the inmates (aside from the program being scrapped…)! While I was living in Washington, a penitentiary in Oregon had a similar program, but textiles. Great jeans and flannel. Pendleton something or other... I have no clue if the pens down here have work/trade programs like that. — AZR

I’m trying to cut up boxes and these 2 fools keep getting in the mix.

Thanks!

Thanks for these exercises. First thing is that I needed to figure out what convex and concave meant but now I’m good.

Welcome to the forum! I patiently moved this to Leatherworking Conversation and tweaked the title. It's really a general question so maybe it'll get more traffic over here.

Thank you for the exercises. I grabbed a box and starting practicing earlier today.

Dwight, you're not alone, I occasionally find jigs that I made and can't remember what for.

That's some quality work.

Yep . . . that's a good way to do it . . . But my problem would be if I had anything more than a couple different belt configurations and maybe one bridle . . . I'd for sure have to put tags on them . . . tell me what the heck it is I made. I'm moving my reloading room . . . and I've had to laugh at myself . . . things in there I have no idea what they are . . . and won't remember until I need it for the job. It's tough getting old. May God bless, Dwight

I have a old parade saddle marked A.Martinez and Ignaliv maybe ignalio with sterling horseheads all over it. Would this be made by the Martinez family? It also is marked Made in Mexico. Thanks for and information, Holly
