Good morning to all. Im new here. Im also new to industrial sewing. Years ago I maintained the sewing machines where I worked, but now Im using it to create new Marine vinyl seats for my boat. The quotes I received told me to get into this business, so here I am.
I just recently picked up a used Consew 255RB-1. It had a clutch motor on it. I removed it and purchased the Reliable 6000SQ and 60mm pulley. That itself, reduced the weight of the table by 20 lbs, if not more. The motor has better control but as everyone mentions here, the initial speed is pretty fast, especially when you are a beginner. Im considering a reduction pulley setup, but recently found a 12mm bore x 41mm pulley on Amazon. Im going to machine off the hub and make this work, and give it a try. Ill be back in a few days to let everyone know the results. I should get a better result as far as starting speed.
