Hi Ron, Do you work at techsew? If so that would be great.

I see, good to know! Thank you for the input that is very helpful.

The one I'm looking at comes with the servo motor but I don't see anything about a speed reducer pulley. Is that a separate piece?

So after much consideration I think I'm going in a totally different direction and going with a cylinder arm machine. I think this will give me more freedom in branching out into sewing more bags and detailed work. I'm looking at the Techsew 2700 as the majority of work I will be doing will not be with super think or heavy leather. I hope this is the right choice, fingers crossed!

Ah I missed the part where the Cobra 17 doesn't have the needle feed, and I was planning on adding the servo motor. Thanks for the advice!!

Hello! I am looking to expand my business and it is time to get a machine that is actually deicated to sewing leather. I currently just use my Juki 98q which is great for clothes but is tearing up all my leather projects. I will be sewing mostly soft leather for jewelry but some thicker pieces for bags and such. Right now I am thinking of getting either the Cobra Class 17 or the Consew 206rb. Can anyone compare these two machines? Or if you have another suggestion it would be greatly appreciated. I want to feel sure I'm getting the right one before spending so much money.
