Detailed pictures of the machine: http://i41.tinypic.com/14y214w.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/osedkh.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/15yybma.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2wn44mf.jpg My asking price is $1100. I'm located in Toronto and willing to drive about 300+km to deliver it. I've never shipped such a heavy machine, so some type of freight must be arranged by the buyer. evrosport(at)rogers.com Cheers.

How much it will cost me to modify it. I had a company which was willing to make me a custom one based on my design recommendations, but they want $300+ US for it. Here is the diagram of the guide we came up with: http://i41.tinypic.com/21j93jn.jpg please post all the details of your modification. Cheers Forgot to mention, I'm strictly working with high end skates like Vapor 40 and One95 so stitch gin it on the top edge is very tricky. But I also need to stitch straight material, sometimes felt for the tongues, so basically think of it as if I had one machine, but needed to use it for all aspect of a hockey skate manufacturing and sewing. Cheers

I need to buy a different machine, so a quick price drop to $1700 US before that other machine gets sold. Cheers

I'm Also willing to ship it. Cheers.

Hi, looking for a used leather splitter at least 8" blade and must be able to taper split as well. evrosport(at)rogers.com Cheers

Is there any way to modify an Adler 30-70 shoe patcher so it can edge stitch at 1/8" or better at 3/32". Do they make a walking foot with built in edge guide or some sort of an seperate edge guide I can buy and modify? Maybe there is a company which makes custom feet or guides. Cheers

I finally found a machine that will do the job, my local hockey shop repair guy has Adler 30-70, the problem is it’s very expensive and every repair he does is $20+ Another problem is it’s only good for stitching boots or skates, if I need to stitch felt tongue which is flat mostly, it’s not very comfortable for edge stitching. So I think I'm going to need two machines to get the job done properly. Which brings me to another question: Can anyone tell me that type of Pfaff machines are used in this video, it starts at about 1:30 minutes. One is s post type machine another one I have no clue, but more importantly there is a function they show which cuts the edge of the skate very precisely, is that a separate machine or is it some type of clip on knife adjustment that can be added to a regular sewing machine? Thanks in advance. Cheers

What if the felt is slightly pressed in, I mean when I fold it it’s at 1/2" but if pressed hard it might be less, any chance some of you 29k owners can try 1/2" folded leather or something dense and post the results, what if it's done very slow will that effect the crooked stitching pattern? Also what would be my next move as far as looking for a different machine which will handle it up to 1/2" All my local shoe guys use 29k and non want to try it on their machine. Cheers

That's the problem, I want to be prepared with enough info, so that even if I drive and it can’t handle the material, but one day later I'll find out that I could have bought it and made some kind of modification which would have worked for 1/2", it will be a big shame. I have no clue how sewing machines work and if simply a longer needle is the answer. also driving means need to get a Van for rent and gas money is also additional cost, so if I drive I need to be certain I'm buying it or the budget for my next one will shrink by about $120 bucks. Cheers

Hi Gang, complete newbie here. I’m trying to customize few hockey skates with some ballistic nylon and synthetic leather of 3mm on top of a hockey skate, plus a felt tongue. After some searching came into conclusion I need a shoe patcher for this type of work and very heavy duty one. I found a local guy, 2 hour drive form me, who has the Singer 29K51 with full treadle in good condition for $350 CND. My main concern is will it be able to handle dense felt material up to ½” thickness. Do these older machines like Adler 30-10 or 29K able to handle such thick materials, and most importantly how well the stitch will look, it’s for cosmetic purpose so it can’t look crooked. I don’t want to drive all the way to find out it will not handle it. He says the machine has been stored with full cover for one year, but it’s fully functional and needs no servicing. Is this considered a good price for this machine? Will it handle my needs? Is there any way to modify this one or any other low budget machine to handle thicker material up to ½” or even ¾” by raising the foot somehow or any other modification? Anything else you can recommend in the $400 budget that will do the job? What are the major problems with these machine and if I do drive out there. What things I should look for, or that fails the most? Any other input would be very helpful, Please respond ASAP, because I’m afraid he might sell it quickly, since he says it’s a $600 - $800 machine. Cheers
