New Guy In Colorado...looking For Advice On Getting Started Please!
CowboyBob replied to sbpark's topic in Member Gallery
Welcome to the board.There's a show coming up in Sheridan & they have some carving workshops you might want to attend.Barry King is there along w/Bob Beard & a lot of other suppliers. http://www.leathercraftersjournal.com/sheridan2015.html -
Here's a pic of a 211 clutch,the a & b lines need to be lined up on the inside hud & the outer pulley for the clutch to put the machine in time.You might need to tighten the 3-screws facing you when you look @ the cltch,these will make it kick out @ a higher torque then it might be set at(when you change the stitch your are knocking the clutch out of time like Constabulary says)

Can I Swap Out The Power Switch On My Industial?
CowboyBob replied to Wishful's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The thing you call a transformer is the starting capacitor w/o it your motor won't start,if the wire is bad just replace it ,you could use the wire from your new switch,the 3rd wire is ground that you connect to the metal switch housing. -
I'll trade you a sewing machine or two for that Transit??

How about Dodge?

Yes,this should be a good machine for you you might want to upgrade with a servo.

Tell Me If I Should Get This Machine, Please.
CowboyBob replied to Phillip Patton's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Yes,I would say it is a Consew 206 clone,it probably has the old style reverse that you push the handle up for reverse. -
Consew 229 Stitch Length Change And Adjustment
CowboyBob replied to tribo korokan's topic in How Do I Do That?
The button on the right is for the clutch,the hole with the missing button is for the stitch length & can be adjusted by putting a screwdriver into it(cutoff nail w/o a point on it) & turning the machine around until it drops into the slot,then you can turn the handwheel towards you for longer or away is shorter. -
Yes,something like a large nail with the tip ground off would even work.

Yes,both the Pfaff & Juki are made for binder & the feed dog doesn't lift.

This machine has two places to adjust the stitch length,one is on the front & then there is a screw on the top left that adcust the length the top foot moves,turning this one clockwise is longer.It's probably best to turn the machine slowly by hand & watch how the top foot feeds with the lower feed dog & adjust the top foot to feed the same as the feed dog.

Wiz is right.I've delivered machines to them & made the mistake of getting there @ lunchtime,they make you wait till they are done eating before they will talk to you.- 79 replies

Yes,it should work as long as it's not wornout.It takes the same needles & bobbins as a 441 style machine BUT the feet are different,they only fit the 756 so you won't be able to get any other type of feet other than the standard double toe which you could cutoff one side to get closer to the edges.

Probably doesn't matter the way the shipping companies operate they never would pay anyways.We have found that if the wheel is taken off before shipping the shafts won't get bent so easy. As far as straightening it out get a thickwall piece of pipe, find the high spot,take the wheel off & push it down alittle @ a time until it's straight. I've straightened out a lot of them this way & it is a lot easier than pulling the shaft.A machine shop might even do it that way too.It isn't a large enough shaft that it needs a press.

Singer 176-11 Fur Sewing Machine Needle Source
CowboyBob replied to Oldtoolsniper's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The needle his machine uses is about 1mm(0.40in) @ the top & the #8 I have in stock are that size all the way to the tip.They are 1&1/4" long the 16x257 are 1&1/2"long & 1.62mm @ the top. -
Oh,the max thread size is #138
-
If I remember correctly it does not have a walking foot?Either way if it does or not we have feet that will fit.

You probably just got a piece of thread jammed in the hook.You need to hold on to the needle thread when you start sewing,hold it the first 3-stitches.What you need to do is put some oil on the hook & rock the handwheel back & forth(don't forget to unthread the needle) and it will free up.That little finger is supposed to be hitting the outer part of the hook.
