    I have tried a few clutch motors and 2 other servos before I bought my JACK servo motors and combined them with speed reducers minus the included EPS - I´m pleased and I don´t need anything else but it for sure depends on the individual needs. Others may need am EPS / NPS but I don´t.

    Sewing fingers hurts and is not heathy in the long view

    My rather simple JACK servos have an option for using them with and without NPS. I´m using them without as I´m rather slow sewing and simply don´t need it and they do not work in combination with a speed reducer. Just wanted to have this mentioned..

    I forgot the pictures - send me a PM if you are interested. Registered Airmail to Down Under is approx $8 US

    I have a complete lever with adjuster screw - are you probably interested?

    Nice one - good score!

    @ The Admin - I think its better to move Daves post to a new thread so the things do not mix up. @ Dave I would replace at least the driving pinion too if it is worn. But it could happen that new and used parts in combination bind up the gear box mechanism. You probably have to replace at least the small rack too. But this sometimes is a gamble and depends on how worn certain parts are and how well the new parts are made. The pinions usually have a flat tip teeth. Like this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SINGER-29K-71-SHUTTLE-CARRIER-DRIVING-PINION-82178-/161953006221 So when they are worth they look quite sharp. Here is a sample of badly worn 29K71 pinions

    Only the operator knows - this just happens sometimes. I also broke a bunch on needles, Sometimes because I pushed the material too much or made a wired material turn (needle bent and hit the needle plate), too thick needle for too small needle hole, hard spot in the material, hit a piece of hardware (rivet, buckle...)... there are several reasons why a needle could brake.
  9. Constabulary
    Maybe I dind´t get you... You only have to lower the needle bar when the hit was so hard that the clamped needle bar moved up a bit (needle hook timing thrown off) This has nothing to do with the reason why the needle hit the plate or bobbin case.
  10. Constabulary
    Could be that your needle hit the needle plate. I´d check the needle bar hight / hook needle timing when you have re assembled everything. You probably have to lower the needle bar a little bit. I think you mean the bobbin case (thing the bobbin rides in)

    as I said - check the tension spring on the shuttle. You probably have to replace it because it is worn. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JAPANESE-SINGER-29K-SHUTTLE-HOOK-TENSION-SPRING-REGULATING-SCREW-8611-662-/321109830405?hash=item4ac3a32b05:m:mmUVSg5GhN1wyzVB8DB3v7w Are you sure you have threaded the machine correctly? Du you have a manual for your machine? Post some good detailed pictures of your threaded machine maybe you did something wrong
  12. Constabulary
    right, thats the slide plate pin. There should be a small spring too. maybe its still in the hole.
  13. Constabulary
    Agree with Bob but the reverse function is something I would miss. So I would go with the 211 most likely.
  14. Constabulary
    Have to run - just some quick hints.... You have to balance top and bottom tension. Bottom tension should be as low as possible with a little bit of resistance when you pull the thread. Also check the tension spring on the shuttle it´s probably worn, bent or there is dirt underneath it so you cannot get enough bottom tension.

    I may have a used replacement lever in my spare parts box - can you send me the total length of the lever so I can compare.
  16. Constabulary
    You are welcome!
  17. Constabulary
    Picture I: you have to remove the entire needle bar rock frame before you can remove it Picture 2: you have to carefully tab out the hinge stud from the back side (you already have loosen it´s set screw in picture 3) maybe a parts list will give you some additional hints how the parts are assembled.
  18. Constabulary
    First I would check it the needle hight and bobbin case opener, I would assume it has to open a bit earlier. It´s just a guess from her distance.
  19. Constabulary
    Well, before I (or someone else) make a 1000 words - watch this Video and read this thread Both will open your eyes - hopefully!

    if you are using a PC or notebook in WINDOWS OS try an image resizer: https://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

    Post some good detailed pictures of the threaded machine maybe someone will notice the "mistake". Have you checked the timing and tip of the hook?
  22. Constabulary
    Are you sure you have threaded the hook correctly. The 29K60 is a large hook machine, rigth? So the thread has to go through the small eye at the center of the hook. I´d also check the hook timing. When the hook tip is worn you probably have to advance the hook a little bit and probably move the needle holder a bit to the right. Loosen the upper screw on the needle holder and try to move it a bit to the right. Have you insert the needle correctly long grove to the left and short grove to the right?

    There are roller feet with different roller diameter available. To solve your problem you could remove the foot pressure thumbscrew, rise the presser foot bar and you are ready to go.
  24. Constabulary
    Not true - since day 1 I called my Singer 133K3 Rosie - Like Rosie the Riveter. Seems she likes her name
  25. Constabulary
    I think very hard leather could be an option as well. Maybe s/t like sole leather or the like.
