Has anyone found an alternative table attachment since both links listed in this thread are no longer active? I have a Juki LS-341N. The shop I bought the machine from only had some huge, bulky, hard to put on/take off option so I passed. Looking for a nice sleek option like these. Thanks.

Thank you! This was helpful.

Thanks for the link but it really doesn't address my questions about availability of parts, dependability, or which may be better suited and honestly, I have no idea was the last two points are even talking about. Since the LS-341N is older than 1341 then they are not the same but is the 341N still a solid choice? Any concerns about not being able to get parts for either option? In looking at the Juki manuals it seems the DSC-245 is a lighter duty machine - is that correct? The links reference to thread size says the 1341 can do more than the 245 but is that true of the 341N as well? Thanks.

Hi - Hoping to get some advice on which machine to get. I have been hand sewing leather a few years but want to get a solid walking foot machine that can easily sew through no more than 1/2” veg tanned leather for bags, backpacks, etc. I have found two used industrial, cylinder arm Jukis - one is a LS-341N in great condition (looks almost new - NOT a 1341). The other is a DSC-245 (heavier use on it is visible). Both have been professionally serviced and come with a 90-day warranty from the seller on the machine head. From what I can find, the 341N seems like a slightly more heavy duty machine but wanted to see what you think. Is one easier to get replacement parts for? Maybe there is a clone that uses all the same parts out there? Would one be better for me than the other based on my use? I do not do saddles or tack but smaller personal things. Any concerns with one over the other? Thanks for your input. C Baker
