Hello! I know this is an old thread but found it searching for industrial machines for leather working. Last weekend I picked up a pretty Chandler TDU-N62 for under $500. Its in great condition. I (read: Husband...) am now in the process of modifying it to work for my needs, mainly small projects like journal covers, jewelry, etc. From what I have learned in a short amount of time, I need to slow this beast down. Looking into a 'reducer'. I also dont like the way the walking foot leaves permanent marks in the leather (thinking of filing that down a bit...?). I'd also like to find the thickest thread/needle I can use with this machine. Researching continues! Anyway, still learning my way through this but wanted to share a few photos. Love seeing everyone's set up!
