The foot is held in place with a tapered pin same as the FAV and Fortuna machines. The 1mm washer was needed to allow the sliding lock in thing to position better for holding and angle adjustments.

That would be my choice and is the same as mine which can do about 90% of the work I do at Wild Harry. Note that the feet available on this machine have the same as the old Singer 111W machines which covers about anything you could ever want. Also note that this is for the head only and you may want to get a table and servo motor from them as well perhaps. Do not get the U shaped table as they get in the way too much as shown in the following video which is a different machine but shows the same problem -

I believe that neither of those machines would be ideal for the work you are wanting to do. Check out this video I did awhile ago as it will point out some of the features for you to consider. I do not know what machines you have there in your world but a google search for a 246 cylinder arm machine should bring up a few to pick from. Note that they are generally not very expensive normally.

They seem not to move at all for quite a few turn which is why they normally supply a winding handle I guess. 20 turns will hardly seem much.

Yes there is. I gave up trying to use the revolving type years ago and now use a diamond tipped dressing tool. This picture is one I found on Amazon which looks a bit like mine. They work a lot better and way quicker so be careful not to go in to hard with it.

It looks like you have the bell too far forward and it is under the presser foot which will stop it from working. Also I think I see a large chip out of your blade which will need to be sharpened out. Follow through the steps in this video I made and note the distance from the presser foot to the bell edge is adjusted correctly and then again after you have sharpened the chip out.

My Vilh Pedersen 282 clicker press is not working much good and I need some pics that show off the Hydraulic system. If anybody has a manual please let me know.

Looking back with a Google search I found where I had covered most of this before which this link will show - https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/74966-skiving-foot-roller-adaptation/ A google search shows many places where you can buy the foot if if search for Skiver machine feet. This is one of the links - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007201599493.html?UTABTest=aliabtest116529_13360&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=742-864-1166&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&gclsrc=aw.ds&albagn=888888&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005007201599493&ds_e_product_merchant_id=737156300&ds_e_product_country=AU&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=21819463808&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21819486122&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmK_CBhCEARIsAMKwcD7-i82gtRujZKf-0mTTOoPLs1oluw2sHNuCF5m-3G7DXzDKElWbywoaAj1oEALw_wcB&aff_fcid=b0641e9eba1743978ba53a9cf2920541-1749867580452-01047-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=b0641e9eba1743978ba53a9cf2920541-1749867580452-01047-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=08d6618945bb478d98d0dbef180895e0&OLP=1108200108_f_group4&o_s_id=1108200108&afSmartRedirect=n

Hi @Trox, yes that is one of my skiving machjines in the video. @TomE has shown a link above that looks to be the same wide guide that I use. Unfortunately the roller foot is not the same as the one in the video but I have recommended the one he has in the link many times. For a long time now that one never seems to be in stock anymore. I will have a search to find the one I used in that video and get back to you tomorrow all going well. In other videos of mine you can see a different one that I made myself. It still gets the most use of them all. Basically it is a 50mm foot cut back and a hard concrete nail used for the brass roller to spin on. I will do some pictures to show that better tomorrow as well.

A big congratulations on getting your first industrial machine. I look forward to seeing some pics of your bags and purses as you go.

Same as the 83K I have.

In the past I have sometimes polished the tips of my needles to not be so sharp to help stop them cutting threads so much when back stitching or going over threads already in place. On this particular job I was aiming to make a belt that could be worn both inside and out so I wanted to be sure to have a needle sharp enough to not pucker on the bobbin side. The stitching was done on my Cowboy 4500 with a new 160/23 LR Schmitz needle and 138 poly bonded thread. The stitching went very well all the way from the start up to the last four stitches. This resulted in 3 different threads being cut right through as shown in the pics below. My Cowboy machine knows a few new #%^& words now and like my machine I just never stop learning. I started the stitching at the top of this join went around until I got to the bottom to over stitch and the swearing began. Double needles needed to fix came out alright in the end.

Those are my thoughts as well but the rest of the work looks high quality.

Very good effort. I have yet to do the style of gusset myself but I will have to give it a try sometime. Does your Adler 69 allow you to get around the gusset sides better than the Global 1335? I am curious if the Global 1335 machine has a reciprocating feed dog or does the feed dog only move back and forward like the Adler69?

I think you already know the answer to this so the quicker you just do it the quicker you can put it to rest. Sorry friend. Beautiful work though.
