@Teradee as in the post above, you need a smaller pulley on the motor to slow the machine down.

You need to quote part of his post, or tag him. @Ozarksleathersmith You have some interest in your bender dies. You tag a user by typing the '@' symbol followed by the username and picking it from the popup list.

@Drumhack Was about to post the same link. Tugadude beat me too it!

Send a PM to @Johanna. She looks after the Banner Ads.

Rather than pricking iron (used for marking stitches or on very thin leathers) you are looking for punches. Here are a couple links to amazon.com that you can review to see if they fit your needs. I have a couple pliers that came with a box of leather tools from a pawnshop that look like the carbon steel handles in the second link. Have never used them! Machine stitching is my go to. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=4mm+Silent+Leather+Hole+Punch+Stitching+Hand+Pliers&crid=1ABVJZI6P7SY1&sprefix=4mm+silent+leather+hole+punch+stitching+hand+pliers%2Caps%2C139&ref=nb_sb_noss https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Stitching+Hole+Punch%2C+17cm+Hand-Held+Carbon+Steel+Silent+Pliers&crid=3SOQWBCS7YZ4O&sprefix=stitching+hole+punch%2C+17cm+hand-held+carbon+steel+silent+pliers%2Caps%2C115&ref=nb_sb_noss

To tag a user, you need to type the '@' symbol followed by the username and pick the username from the popup list. You may have to scroll down a little to see the popup list. Failing to pick it from the popup results in no notification to the user. @Moabforge If the tag doesn't show a yellowish background, it didn't work. Try again.

You need to quote or tag the individual so he gets a notification. Hasn't been onboard since Dec 9 so isn't checking every day. @mikesnody You have some interest in your machine.

Can you upload photos? Notice you haven't been back since the day you posted. Would be great to have more of your input here.

This is old and should have been locked. Send @jimi a personal message and ask.

Moved your post to Marketplace > Items For Sale > Hand Tools-Leatherworking Tools Had a look at your Etsy page. Shipping is calculated during check out. FYI Marketplace rules are here. Please review.

Looks like you figured out how to post. Welcome.

@CrowsNest Please read the marketplace rules and conform. You must identify any shipping information, etc.

Clutch motor. Motor runs constantly. You have to feather the clutch like a car with a standard transmission to get it started. Only with a clutch motor, you have to feather the clutch all the time if your are trying to go slow around corners, etc. Go to the home page and there is a full list of all the forums along with descriptions, numbers of posts, and how many are unread (by you).

@loricariiidae Since your post is about leather sewing machines, I moved it to Leather Sewing Machines.

Good to see you joined the forum instead of trying to post under 'report' as a guest. Copied the new version from your report! Hope to hear more from you now as a member.

Moved your post to leather machinery

@leatherworkwonders You have an offer see above post. @DLoveOn8 You need to quote or tag members so they get notice. OP hasn't checked in since August 2022.

As Burkhardt says above. If the hook doesn't catch the loop, you have a skipped stitch. So the loop has to be properly formed, and not interrupted by any twisting, turning, or any other action until the loop is caught. See this post for example.

Little motor pulley should be belted to the large speed reducer pulley. As is, you will see almost no change in speed and torque.

@scoggim and @Burkhardt Moved post to Leather Sewing Machines.

The edit window time is fairly short, maybe a couple hours. After than, just add additional info in a new post. If something really needs fixed, contact a moderator to help fix it.

@Cowboymade Please read the marketplace rules and conform. Even though you are "testing the waters" you must post a definite price in USD for the item, we know prices are negotiable but a price nonetheless. Shipping policy needs to be stated clearly.

Depending on the machine's construction, you may be able to fashion a locking device to hold the stitch length/reverse in the reverse position. A stretchy cord with a loop to pull over the lever can do the job for you.

You need to either quote a post (or part of it) or tag the person you want to contact. To tag a person, type @ followed by the screen name, and pick from the popup list. @dfrensdorff You have an interested party. If the machine is no longer for sale, post to this thread that it is sold or no longer for sale.
