Different people have different opinions? Who would have thought! I have ruled out the csm1000 due to too many of said people that have erratic slow speed issues. Looks like the familysew will be the one I get. Will give Bob a call Monday. Thanks dikman! Appreciate the responses.

Yes I have seen the smaller pulleys available for the Consew servos. Are pulleys universal in that they will fit any motor? Question is which Servo motor to get.... I now see mixed reviews on this site after searching a bit. Edit... Looks like the familysew from Toledo comes with a 2" pulley already installed. These seem to be preferred on this site too... may just run with that.

Been lurking for a while! Just brought home a nice 206RB-4 that has seen little use. It has a 1/2hp 1750rpm clutch motor. I think I got a decent deal at $450. It is sewing great so far but it's pretty fast and hard to go slow with control. Read lots of info on optimizing these beast motors but in the end I think I am going to be best off to go the servo route. Been looking at the Consew CSM1000 as the 3 piece design seems appealing with the control adjustments right out in front for easy access. I would like to achieve one stitch per second or perhaps a touch slower since I am pretty green at sewing and have the capability to go some faster as my skills improve. Been sewing entirely by hand till now. Does anyone think this servo motor will achieve my goal or will I have to add a speed reducer as well? Thanks for any info!
