hello from Gainsville fl

better late than not at all,,, as this helped me thanks David

nice looking shop but the left lean is killing me........needs a quarter turn,,,, db

Jason has some great skins and beautiful work and easy to deal with

congrats, IMHO great choice and you will not be disappointed, remember you control what's happening ,the machines do what we tell them, its we just need to know what to tell them sometimes ,,, lol ,,, david

IMHO similar to many , and a good choice, if it works for you and has no issues AWESOME,,db

A North fla welcome,,,,,, Gainsville Go Gators David

welcome and will pm for details David

Welcome from Gatornation happy to add my $0.02 similar interest in leather....my $0.02 way over priced though David

check your packaging its in one of the bags a plug end

if it moves and looks like it can be oiled on a regular basis it is as well as the marked points

I LIKE!!!!!! very nice and colorful +++++ welcome David

not an expert about the machine but looks good ,, NICE buy if you are happy with your purchase price even with the servo motor consider adding a speed reducer, for leather and better slow speed power and control CONGRATS David

consider what a skin looks like laid out the last I bought at the widest point +- 13" 30cm and about 42" long grade 1 $300+

make sure you get a speed reducer or a gear reduction motor $.02

pis or general condition,,,, sharp???

Talk with your Dealer/sales rep, but you did buy a new machine,,work with and isolate the problem my $$.02 is ask for a new reducer to be sent over night,,if you feel/ sure its the issue First recheck the machine for ease of rotation and motor for running free no load isolate the problem ,, you should NEVER have to FIX a new part unless its a, ABSOLUTE need ,,,,,if so make it work,,,,,,,, but ask for the replacement part be sent as a priority and return the part in question cost of info.... free but still my $.02 Be fair to your self as your dollars have been spent but understand some new parts are defective and can be beyond dealer control David

went up to a 24 needle and saw no difference then went up to a 25 and looks ok but a little large hole imho contact cement had 24 hrs drying outside inward,, row 1 with the 23 row 2 is with a 24 row 3 is the 25 front and back view might have it worked out David

bag handles punch holes for slots or??

Welcome from Gainesville, Fl you found a great place to learn and make your ideas a reality David

Quick follow up Thanks Red Cent, Rayban first test sew, on the short cutoff strap looked "ok" pics seem to make look worse than it is rest of the pics show a inconsistency top and bottom as well as missed stitches so I'm not sure if top tension is the bug or bottom I rechecked things prior to sewing as I had switched feed dog and feet to do some heavy canvas repair, and had a stitch length variation, which was solved by another post with the same issue reset feed dog height and recheck all normal things threading machine clear thread path no dirt/dust general normal stuff just looking to shorten the fight/curve and get a list of fix and see what works will try re thread non factory way and move on with tension resets and recheck needle hook pick up thanks and will keep at till, I GET THE Proper STITCH I WANT to see on a finished product David more detail, 277 bonded nylon top and bottom #23 organ needle supplied with machine top tension and 2nd tension springs are lightly set if any at all just so they are not flopping around quick note leather was contact cemented together both pieces were back cuts and firm and good quality,,, imho

I've followed several post on belts and had a go at it , Belt turned out nice and went about wearing it and decided I wanted some stitching on it and well the pics tell the rest, What needs fine tuning and or adjusting?? belt details 1.5" wide with English bridle 7-8 oz and backed with vegtan 10 oz and skived the the outer third of the backing top and bottom/ edges down to 8 oz+- and left the center thick, Finished total center thickness @.28-.30" edges are 0.23 -0.25" thread 277 Cobra 4-25 had a practice run on the smaller piece and thought I had the set up tuned in the test section was the finished belt cut off test fronttest back the put the belt under and pressed away and got a nice start and kept the speed manageable Belt finished front n backfrontbackside missed a stitch and another and ,,,said well its just a nice work belt now and ran the length up and back and had a few more dropped stitches and mark this down to an expensive learning lesson backside what do I need to do, to get on track, timing looked ok ?thread? different needle? feed back NEEDED and welcome David
