On one photo, I could see that it appeared to have been shaped and sharpened. The rest I really couldn't see well enough to pass judgment on them. They would work as well as some I have if they were sharpened, and maybe easier to maintain.
-
Look like they were being used as edge bevelers

Has to be something wrong with your browser or some privacy settings in your system. I have no idea what it is.

For now, it is in the best place until a different forum is set up for domestics, possible some day..

Take a look at paring machines. I built a similar device and have had fairly good luck with it, but the Scharffix should be a good product. I see a few simple clones without all the adjustments, some Chinese built that don't work (I tried it, wasted my money!). Do a google search for the Scharffix and you will find a few sellers.

Yes, can't make them fit here, so use YouTube or other video sharing site. Best we can do for videos. -
We used a pattern for a pyjama top (large) and made it longer when making the coat. So yes, lots of options to get or make patterns up.

Also do searches for leather supplies and applicable info using the term "garment leather". Many years ago I made a long coat using glove leather. It is thin, stretchy somewhat, so drapes nicely. Had a lot of help from my Mom. Getting the sleeve shoulder seam was the hardest part to do. Tandy has a few garment patterns.

If the leather is thick enough, you can split the leather so you have 2 layers and hide the ends inside. Again, you will need lots of practice to make this work. I try to get towards 1" of overlap. I don't think 1/4" provides enough surface to make a good strong splice.

bad smell are emitted during machining leather
Northmount replied to Zack00's topic in 3D Printers and Lasers
Done. Note that the edit button is only available for a short period of time. Don't know how long it is, but don't depend on it being there more than an hour -
To add an additional length of lace, do a wet splice, skive the ends to be joined, glue them together. Takes a little practice to make it appear to be a continuous piece of lace.

You are missing the fact that this is as noted above, a 220VAC motor, not a 12VDC motor. Leads to the AC motor are only about #14 cable versus the heavy battery cables used on 12VDC engine starting motors. Typical AC induction motors draw up to 7x running current during starting. Circuit breakers and fuses for such loads work on both time and current. Their application will be designed/based on time overcurrent. This is to protect the supply lines, not the motor, though it may protect the motor in many cases. 160A at 220VAC is way out of range for a sewing machine motor, an obvious mistake in publishing the specifications. This would fry the supply leads in a few seconds if not instantly. Would also drag the voltage down for the building and possibly the neighbours before it blows. No one would be happy with this!

Pictures?? Doesn't sound like a clutch motor and by age definitely not a servo. So no, the motor doesn't draw any current if just plugged in but not running. Unless ... there is a short circuit or a build up of somewhat conductive material between hot and neutral connections. If someone has added a 3rd wire safety ground to the system and there could be some leakage from the motor windings to the grounded frame assuming the foot control was placed on the neutral side rather than the hot side of the line. Had a Sunbeam Mixmaster that gave you a zing if you touched it and the kitchen sink at the same time.
