Hi, well the 45k89 in the picture would sew your leather as in the picture. if you start adding more sole etc.. then it might not do the job as well as an outsole sticher would. that is what i would say you would be looking for. although Singer did make the 45k68,69 and 71 for stitching soles, which is similar to the one in the picture but not exactly the same. if you are near Germany then look for a Frobana or a Gritzner outsole sticher. another option would be the Rafflenbeul MS55 or 200 which is a needle and awl type machine but also compact in size like the Frobana and Gritzner, and it feeds with the needle and not with teeth. in the UK i think similar was the Simplex and a victor. the needles for these first two machines are €9-10 ouch, i mean each. and uses left twist waxed linen 6-8 cord thread normally. if you can do the job as in your picture you might be able to pick up a cheap 45k and if it works then no swearing as an added bonus... here are a couple of pictures, i have just done this afternoon one on the 45k25. the other was done on the frobana. hope this helps. this was with the 45k25 this was with the frobana frobana 45k25

they are not what you would call a quality buckle. but for some projects would be fine. here are more pics. each bag weighs about 1kg. or if you want just a handfull make an offer. one bag is looking stained and could be the metal underneath or maybe the chrome is not that hot, but the other two bags seem ok. they have probably been sitting around for years in the bags?? . by the way i forgot to mention if anyone was wondering, the other buckles are not 5 euros like the biker ones. i am open to offers if you are interested in any of them.

oops! sorry i think i got the wrong seam. were you meaning up the arm ??

more buckles.... two or three bags of these. a box of these. about 65mm long and 15mm wide.

Just a thought?? a magnetic guide on the needle plate might work??

Bump.....

Came into a few buckles, Kawasaki x21,Suzuki x20, Honda x8, Wells fargo x1. they are copies of the vintage style ones and seem to be for a 40mm wide belt. they are all new old stock and wrapped. they are not made of brass like the vintage ones. and a few others of the same hook type 40mm wide. the oval brass looking one needs two small screws to hold the strap in. i will have a look and see if there is anything that can fit. asking 5€ each plus postage.

Hi, i know this is an old post, but maybe they could help you??? http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/54393-junker-ruh-nr-22-sd28-adjustment/

Hi, the problem is possibly that you are using a domestic machine and not an industrial model??

Look´s like a Blake stitcher. or a bloke stitching

yes that would fit no problem. did you manage to get that broken screw out?? i take it the part you are looking for probably fell and broke??

Thanks for that terry. .

I agree with alexfj, the waviness on the top and bottom edge indicates cuts.

Sorry, no idea

I think this was called a Simplex outsole stitcher. similar to the Rafflenbeul outsole stitcher. http://shoerepairer.info/topic/13092-standard-outsole/

Hi Harry, good to hear that you got the old machine going again i take it that it is the flat bed version of the 45k89 class? with the kick foot? there seems to be a lot of these type machines in the UK. could you send a couple of pictures of the machine for the old iron junkies here, regards jimi.

shit, sorry Al, just looked back at the scans and saw that this page is not there???i must have missed that one? my apologies.

Ha ha! spot on Al..
