Maybe you can take parts from the standard tension unit you find on most sewing machines - like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SINGER-111W-SEWING-MACHINE-THREAD-TENSION-COMPLETE-CONSEW-206-PART-240446-/110914591225?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d30659f9

that really looks nice - so when will you start mass production?

I don´t want to store it any longer - I´m open for offers. If someone needs just spare parts from it send me a message.

I have the JACK JK363A-1 with needle positioner with 40mm custom pulley (original wa 75mm). This one runs on a 111G156 triple feed upholstery type machine with safety clutch and the 3:1 SR as mentioned above. I have disconnected the synchronizer for the NPS because it seems not to work in combination of with speed reducer. I don´t care because I have enough slow speed control. I figured I just don`t need the NPS - dead topic for me. Manual says it has 2.5 N.m torque. But the manual over all is a pain in T.A.. I once have written a review: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=56445&hl=%20jack%20%20servo&page=1 The other JACK servo I have is the 750 Watt JK361A w/o NPS with 75mm standard pulley (I had the 550 Watts motor with 40mm custom pulley earlier but have updated the entire motor and speed reducer setup recently - I will add a 40mm pulley again one day.) This one runs on Singer 133K3 heavy sewing machine and also has a 3:1 speed reducer. All I can say that the 750Watts Jack Motor in combination with a 3-1 reducer meets my requirements and I can work with this setup. I never did any math regarding torque or so. Usually the seller of servo motors don´t even provide this information. The only dealer I know who provides these informations is Universal Sewing for their ENDURO SERVOS. The the orientation for the end consumer is the number of Watt.

My preference is the 750 Watt JACK Servo that College Sewing in the UK sells but I use it in combination with a 3:1 speed reducer. The lowest motor speed is 200 rpm but the SR slows it down very well. For my purposes they work very well. AFAIK they are also magnet controlled. I have 2 of them and I´m quite pleased. But I admit - the instructions manuals are a pain!!!

12976,33 USD for a JUKI TSC-441? Just the head or complete with table and motor? Sounds like a good deal but I guess for the price it is a used machine, right? Anyway - still a good deal I´d say. EDIT: wait - seems I got the price wrong - sorry! Now thats price really HURTS!!!!

I always wondered what the difference is between the open and closed frame shuttles, beside the obvious difference, but technically I don´t see a difference. The Adler 104 I once worked with came with both types and either one worked well.

Thanks and don´t forget about the freakin APPLE stuff

Well, most of the new industrial machines nowadays come from China and are not made in the US, Europe or Japan. Even the "old name" brands like Adler or Pfaff (just to name a few) come from China nowadays. Most Chinese made machines are very similar they just have different brand name tags or sticker. But thats not unusual nowadays.

has nothing to do with the belt but I´d chose a different photo background. I don´t think this table is very representative - I guess you know what I mean when you look at the last 4 pictures.

I was able to locate some parts. Shuttle cover even seems to be NOS. My original shuttle cover had no spring so I bougt the complete unit. Hope the needle plate screws will fit...

www.Sieck.de has a wider range of sewing machine but the prices on their website are w/o VAT, you have to add 19%

Keep in mind that you have to pay custom fees and EU import taxes on the whole price including the shipping cost when you order from outside the EU. If unsure ask your local customs office.

hmmmm - seems I was on the wrong track. Too modern machine for me

If someone needs original needle guides and presser feet - I will sell some of mine as I need some bucks for spare parts http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=64861&p=421023

I think I do not need these parts after I´m done with the machine and I need some coins for buying some spare parts for it. Paypal is welcome - I will ship worldwide by registered airmail. Tracking through the USPS website is possible. Each presser feet is $50 + $7 registered Airmail Each needle guide is $75 + $7 registered Airmail 10% discount when buying at least 2 feet or 2 guides - or all together for $320 including fully insured worldwide Airmail shipping.

Right - thats why I installed it. I have about 10mm foot lift by hand but due to the longer lever I can "feather" it about 2mm more so for me it´s perfect. The 211 lever is a spare part every Singer 111 or clone owner should switch to - parts # is 508309. But they are hard to find as spare parts but maybe you have some floating around

Hi Gregg - I know, I have tried a long 1 piece lever from a Consew and the 2 piece lever from Singer but and I have tried 2 knee lifter and a pedal. All worked technically okay but for me it is more logical and more practical to use the ordinary hand lifter and the long one from a Singer 211 performs much better that the short OEM one. Just my experience.

Yes - but old technology often enough it is very long lasting

I don´t think that flatting the grove in the shuttle really makes it better. When the material is gone then it´s gone so the spring cannot produce a consistent tension. But thats just a guess w/o having the parts in from of me. You could try a new tension spring (could work but I´m not sure) if the old one is worn too. But there are at least 2 different springs available, one for open frame shuttles and one for closed frame shuttles. I´d try a new shuttle. Because of the needle bar hight - from BDC the needle bar should rise approx. 3mm and thats the point where the shuttle hook tip should meet the needle scarf. Have you checked if your needle bar has timing marks? Some do some don´t.
