Galli Leather Edge painting machine

[Galli Leather Edge painting machine]

£950 ono Galli leather edge painting /leather working machine in good working order.
This machine is designed to trim the excess from a strip of leather, once this process has taken place the roller feed moves the leather for the automated application of leather edge paint. 
The machine is of high quality made in Italy and is regarded as one of the best of its kind. It includes high powered vacuum to remove the trim from the leather and is collected in the base of this machine.
The machine also includes a diamond blade regrinder/sharpening wheel and a number of unique feed rollers for individual patterns of leather belt.
The machine is 3phase and also requires a seperate single phase supply via a 3pin plug.
The condition is used and is recommended that some drive belts may need replacing, these are easily available directly from the manufacturer however these parts can also be found easily on ebay at a very low cost.
Genuine reason for sale as we no longer make wholesale belts.
This machine would suit a small but busy worshop producing leather belts.

C,

I believe the needle system  to use on this machine is a 134-35.  I have set a couple of the Adler machines at work up with 135x17 system.  The 134 system needle may be too short in length.

Thank you for the replys, I've some bits and bobs to get from collage sewing so will add the spring on the list good call !

As for the bobbin stand that's in the far right corner of the table I will have to move it to get the top guide directly overhead none of my other machines are directly over head but any thing worth a try

New feed dog so no burs/ needle strikes, all running smooth ... only 1 slight issue, the needle is very slightly off center (right) through the feed dog but still OK for clearance in my opinion, is there adjustment on the needle bar left and right as you sit at the machine? 

I have indeed tried the 134-35 x17 and adjusted timing and needle bar height accordingly again with poor results, but as the manual states 134 I have reverted back to this set up.

I will have another look next week and take some pics as I need this up n running by middle of Jan to work through orders etc

Thanks again

I just use my right toe foot. To get a true round you need to have a rein rounder, A true round collar or what ever you will see no stitching, as you run it through the rounder it bury's the stitching

Many thanks for that, I think I will have a try at making one up, or getting one made up as the end results should be well worth it both visual and financially in the long term.

What exactly is the struggle with the thread?

reg. stitch length - check this Video:

Many thanks for the video clip, however like the machine he was working on I've lost overall even Stitch length, guessing due to slightly warn parts (bearings and the large cam  etc) any way of adjusting further?

As for the thread with Tkt 20 I have to really wind the top tension up tight to get a uniform stitch. In my option way to tight ! Which in turn is causing the thread to bunch up at the left of the needle eye now and again, still getting the odd dropped stitch or a occasional loop on the back side, so frustrating... will probably try to replace the hook next although it looks in good condition ! In the hope of good stitches then re—address tension issues? Your thoughts welcomed..

[Making rolled leather dog collars]

Hi folks, due to popular request, I'm trying to explore the way to machine sew rolled leather dog collars (I currently hand sew but often price prohibited in most cases)

I'm thinking it must be done using a large piping foot or similar...

I'm sure there's a easy way but just can't quite work it out, if anyone has got a set up would love to know more or photo/video even better

Cheers

What can I ask is the full number of the needle and also the thread size or ticket, that would help me a bit. I think were in metric talk just want to be clear with system.

Sounds like the gear screw was really messed up, so now the gear can be secured well eh!  good to get that repair done.

Any more pics are great maybe we can get the post together later.

good day

Hi folks I've recently purchased a Adler 169-373 to be my primary leather working machine. However I'm having a few problems.. and any advice would be greatly received..

1. Bevel gears grub screw so badly damaged unable to hold on shaft ( now replaced)

2. Max Stitch length is only about 4 mm when set even for back stitch.. can get 6mm forward but Max 3 mm in reverse.

3. Struggling to get a good stitch with thread over 20's

Timing correctly set using new 134 needles is there a ideal type of thread?

I'm beginning to think I've picked up a machine that's had a harder life than first thought but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
