  1. Awesome! What size tap/ thread did you use the for the punches? Are they the osborne rotary punches?
  2. Thanks guys, I will give Consew a call and see if they can direct me to the closest dealer to me. Really appreciate all the help!
  3. Do you know where I could get OEM or generic parts for the Consew 277RFS? Or what the cylinder arm is based on / compatible with? Thank you, Sam
  4. Hey Uwe, That is a good idea. I think I will give that a shot. Thanks!
  5. Hey Guys, I'm looking for info on the compatibility of Consew 277RFS cylinder arm parts. As far as needle plate, feed dogs, binding plate attachment etc. I understand that all parts are the same as the Seiko LSC 8, but after some searching I cant seem to find what the cylinder arm is based on. It seems very similar to both the Pfaff 335 as well as the Juki 246. Specifically interested in being able to use specialized needle plates, as well as binder attachments for Pfaff 335 on the Consew 277. Such as the attached images available from Kwokhing. I have emailed them asking about compatibility, but have not received a reply. Any information on what the 277 cylinder arm is based on / interchangeable with would be very much appreciated. I have also attached a pic of the badge of of the Consew. Thank you! -Sam
  6. Hey Guys, I'm on the hunt for a German made Pfaff 335. I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I would drive a few hours for pick up or would pay for shipping costs. Thanks! -Sam
  7. tech sew has this posted as refurbished- http://www.techsew.com/machinery/cutting-skiving-machines/techsew-2020p-bench-top-portable-leather-strap-cutting-machine-used-refurbished.html hope it helps -Sam
  8. Hey Brian, I think one of these reinforcement options may suit your needs. Possibly the reinforcement GEL, or reinforcement foam http://www.mando.fr/43-renfort Not sure if you need a log in to view it, if so let me know and i can post a screenshot. -Sam
  9. Nuttish- Thank you for taking the time to write that up. Really awesome. I will report back when I am able to get the supplies you cited and have the time to get everything set up correctly. Thanks again. -Sam
  10. Nuttish- Really like your setup! Are you using the AP style wheels from Campbell? If so where did you find the proper bushing setup? Having a hard time sourcing them for my motor. My arbor is 5/8" and CR's site says that the bore diameter for their wheels is 20mm. I Am looking into getting a bushing setup machined out for me but would prefer to buy something pre-fabbed if possible.
  11. Wow fantastic work! Any updates on your machine?
  12. Rocky- I dont do enough big runs of belts to justify building the belt edge painter, maybe a single edger though. What did you end up using for the actual paint roller wheels on that machine?
  13. The link was deleted, is this lot still available? Thank you!
  14. going to try uploading the pics again after the website update (which I think is pretty awesome btw, great job!)
  15. Thanks for the replies on the motors guys, I have a lot to think about. I was wondering what the max thickness of leather is that you have been able to sew consistently is on your 1245's? Also, I was hoping I could get some input on buying one of these pfaff's vs. a new machine under warranty such as the consew 206-rb5, keep in mind this is my first machine. I see positives/negatives of both options, but was wondering if you were buying your first machine and had these options what direction you would go? The way I figure it after I replace the clutch motor, get the machined serviced etc, its going to be within a couple hundred bucks of that new consew, or another newer similar machine. What route do you think I should take?
  16. Ok that makes sense. Sorry for all these questions, really appreciate everyone's feedback. About the needle positioner system, once it is installed correctly is it easy to switch from the needle ending in the up position and then back to the needle ending in the down position in the material? Meaning could I do a run of stitching with the positioner in the down position and then flip a switch and have it end in the up position on the next run of stitching? Not sure if that's how these systems work, don't have much experience with them. As far as install is it pretty much plug and play? Would I need to order a different sized belt or does the motor come with a new belt that will fit the 1245? Thanks again! -Sam
  17. Joe, that motor looks very nice and I like that it has the needle positioner on it. Do you think there would be any reason to get a speed reducer with this or should be good to go with just the motor? Sark- The repair guy in my area stocks and recommended a motor that sounds just like what you've been using. I think he said it was a "family" brand and its 3/4HP with 550 W. He said something similar about feeling like a lot of these motors made in china are almost identical other than the sticker on the front. From what you have said and others as well these seem like a good option, my only concern is the abrupt start. Ive worked on a juki that had a similar type of jump off the line feel to it and it kept throwing me off, I'm sure with a few days of working on it it would not be a problem though.
  18. Thanks for all the help fellas, I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger on one of the 1245's, I'm very excited! Was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a good servo motor (make/model) to replace the clutch motor with? Also do you think a speed reducer is also a good idea with a new servo motor? Appreciate any and all feedback
  19. Ok thanks guys, I'm going to try to get my hands on the user manuals for each subclass and see whats what a bit more. Sorry about the pics! cant figure out how to get them to upload upright, Apologies to your necks!
