PLEASE NO DEALERS ANSWER
For some time now I been using a consew 206. The main shaft broke. Long story on that. The inside is scrap metal now. I have been looking for a new machine. I want to get a flatbed. Here is the problem I am running into. EVERYONE says their machine is the best. Cobra, Tacsew, Reliable, Artisan. says their the best. Sailrite says their the best of the best.
Here is how the table is set up. I got the 600watt servo 1 3/4" pulley running a 8" pulley jack shaft. I want just the head. Due to my marks and mods on my table. If I have to use the router to change the set I will. Yesterday I called Artisan for some other model and makes that equal theirs. The lady said there was none that theirs was the best. I been through the same thing with all of them. I want to get max 1/2" thickness sewed.
S.E.W. line 111w tacsew 111w Sailrite 111w all the same specs. Headspace timing is the same. This is an example of what I am running into. They all seem the same. Even the casing is same mold. What about Juki, Consew, and all the others out there. It seems that name plate is the only difference. I am by far, NOT bashing any companies. I just need real streight talk on the machines. The one I looked real hard on was the Artisan 618-1 sc lthr Though after looking hard. They all seem the same now. UGGGGG!
Please help
