JW, Hopefully there's a YouTube video of an operating 45K76 somewhere in this eBay link. Hope it answers some questions about your machine http://www.ebay.com/itm/Singer-45K76-Cylinder-Bed-Antique-Darning-Industrial-Sewing-Machine-WATCH-VIDEO-/121739898772?nma=true&si=ogcjBitDrBM4ZPP%252B2tl2lR1VOOU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Here are a couple of manuals from the Dixie Sewing website. Perhaps you'll find something useful. The first manual covers similar machines like the 46W and 47W. The second manual covers the parts list with pictures for the 48W6. Dixie Sewing is a good source for some manuals. Good luck. http://dixiesewingmachine.tzo.com/MANUALS/SINGERSERVICE/46W,%20&47W-Inst.pdf http://dixiesewingmachine.tzo.com/MANUALS/SINGERPARTS3/48W%20&49.pdf

My wife was reading this thread and commented on the thickness of the leather. She's wondering if a damp cloth and an iron (or steam) would remove the marks, like on wood?

Constabulary, The line below from the eBay listing doesn't seem to translate clearly with Google Translate. Is it saying the item pictured is being offered for sale or one that looks like it? Thanks a lot. Verkaufe wie im Bild eine alte dekorative Schuster oder Sattlernähmaschine.

Simran, did you sell your machine?

Thanks Uwe, appreciate the information. I'll take another look at the video.

Uwe, Is the spring loaded guide in the video a Consew product? What type and size of thread were you using? Thank you

That and brake cleaner are what I used to reach many of the Claes patcher parts. It worked well.

Constabulary, Darren, Jimi, TinkerTailor, Thank you for your thoughts. Like always, I appreciate them. It has to be the thread, like you suggested. I put it in my Claes 8345 and it broke, so that's it, I'm finished trying to sew with it. However, just to satisfy my curiosity, I am going to contact the thread manufacturer and discuss shelf life and storage with their technical people. It seems counterintuitive to me a fiberglass thread would deteriorate, but may be. Thanks again.

hyttogpine, Thanks for your patience and encouragement. Perhaps I posted a single picture, I have no idea. Would you please try this link and tell me if it plays the video properly? Thank you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/srlvrjinlwu5iqj/IMG_3485%20Thread%20video.MOV?dl=0

hyttogpine, Thanks for the information. I created a folder in dropbox called public, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly. Would you please try the link above again and let me know if the video works. I noticed yesterday before I created the Public folder, when I clicked on the dropbox link above, it asked me to login. I closed the login box without logging in and it took me to the video which played. I believe Dropbox was trolling to hook new members, I may be wrong

Hi Darren, Good questions. Why get hung up on that thread? We used that thread regularly years ago in our business to sew Kevlar sleeves onto high temperature Textoglass (fancy fiberglass) mittens for use around molten aluminum. We sold the business, so I'll most likely never sew with it again, but I'm just curious enough and stubborn enough to want to find out what's making it break. I tested the breaking strength with a scale to 12 pounds (5.44 kg); Would you think that would be strong enough to penetrate 8 oz. (3.17 mm) veg tan with a 23 round needle? It's been an issue for weeks and I can't figure it out. Hi TinkerTailor, You certainly have an uncanny way of seeing through to the heart of the matter. Btw, you're correct, we do have a lot of that thread left, but that's incidental. Like you suggested with that well chosen mouthful of words, I want to learn. Hi Jimi, That's a good thought. That area of the shuttle race could be the cause, I can't tell. It and the other parts don't feel rough. Do you see anything in the pictures irregular or suspect on the shuttle race, the inner race or the shuttle? Gentlemen, would you please take another close look at the Third third video, the last one? Do you see the slight beginning of a break in the thread, just before the midway point in the video, and before the thread reaches the right end of the shuttle race? If that is the beginning of a break, would you think it happens before it reaches the shuttle race or as it passes the shuttle race the previous rotation or two? I'm trying to install and upload using dropbox. Once I figure it out, I'll post a better video showing what's happening. Ok, let's look at this video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/srlvrjinlwu5iqj/IMG_3485%20Thread%20video.MOV?dl=0 Thank you all

Thanks Constabulary. Do you have any thoughts on why the thread in the video is breaking. The thread is a 138 coated fiberglass and the needle is a 23. It's a puzzle why it sews well without material but not with. A number 25 titanium coated needle didn't help.

TinkerTailor, You do have a knack for making it simple. Thank you.

Great explanation TinkerTailor, I can understand that. Thank you. Is Dropbox more private than YouTube; for example, would my video show up on a Google search?

The video showing the thread breaking problem that I'm trying to post is too large for the LW 1.46MB maximum. I've learned how to resize it, but doing so doesn't leave enough video to show the problem properly. The next best thing is to break the video into thirds with each third being a separate post. Playing each third in sequence will demonstrates the issue. The first video stands alone and shows the machine sewing properly without material. Please be assured, the foot and feed dog do not touch at any time. First video - no material My Movie no material - first.wmv Second video - no material My Movie no material.wmv First third with material My Movie first third of tape.wmv Second third with material My Movie second third.wmv Third third with material My Movie third third.wmv Anyone have any ideas why this thread is breaking? Thank you very much for your input.

Hi Jimi, Thanks for lead to the part numbers. Now I know what to ask for when I talk to people. Like most other 45K parts, they're next to impossible to find in this country. Thanks again Jimi. Regards,

You're welcome. I didn't look, but Dixie probably has the parts books for them also. Good luck with them.

Hei Hyttogpine, Takk for svaret ditt. Vil Dropbox tillate meg å redusere en 3MB iPhone video ned til ca 1.46MB? Hello Hyttogpine, Thank you for your reply. Will Dropbox allow me to reduce a 3MB iPhone video down to about 1.46MB?

Hello Good People, Here are some videos of the top thread break puzzle. Two videos showing the machine sewing perfectly with out material under foot and two showing it breaking the top thread with leather under foot. Well, every time I try to post a video, I get a message saying the video is too large. I cut the size in half with Windows Movie Maker, then got the message I couldn't post that type of file. Does any know how to reduce the size of videos taken with an Apple iphone? The maximum single file size is 1.46MB Thank you.

Hi Jimi, hi Folker, Thanks for identifying the feet. I will buy them if they're reasonably priced. What is a reasonable price btw? I know even less about jump feet than I do the K25. Folker, I'll ask Frankqv if he needs them, thanks for suggesting it. Jimi, I haven't solved the thread breaking issue yet. I've contacted the sewing machine mechanic, but he hasn't had time to get with me yet. I still plan to post a few of videos showing what's happening when the thread breaks, I've made one video showing the machine sewing fine without material. I'll get one done with material soon. Thanks for asking, Jimi.
