I put the Consew CSM550 motor on and it works great. I can control the top rpm speed with the nob and variable feed speed with the pedal, it works great. Toke some time to redo the pedal linkage but it worked out well. Thanks to all for your feedbacks OBOW

I looked on ebay for servo motors and there's a boat load listed. I want to use this machine to make a boat enclosure and leather work up to 1/4" thick . The enclosure will consist of 2-4 layers of sunbrella material and a layer of .030" clear vinyl material. I figure I need a least a 3/4hp motor with 2" pulley. Prices range from $100.00 up to several hundred dollars. What motors would you recommend ? The belt that is on the machine now is a round leather one, will I need to change the fly wheel also and will the servo motor allow me to do a back/lock stitch? I will only be using the machine a few times a year but want it to be set up the right way. Sorry for all the questions but this all new to me. If it were any kind of vehicle I'd have no problem fixing it. OBOW

This is a picture of the drive pulley with attached clutch material

SARK9 The picture you posted is the set up I have on my machine. A smaller pulley would have to have the clutch material attached to it and the shaft is press into the pulley. I can't find that type of pulley anywhere, so I guess I'll have to go to a servo motor. Thanks for the replies OBOW

I was given a Singer 95-10 industrial clutch drive machine and it runs great but it has only one speed that sews at 3500 stitches per minute.I need to slow this thing down? Can I place a speed control switch on the motor? I've been told to go to a smaller drive pulley but can't find one for this machine. The clutch material is screwed onto the pulley that's pressed onto a shaft. I would need to find a smaller pulley with the clutch material attached and can't find one anywhere. Any information or referral to someone who knows this machine will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
