Hello everyone,
I have been lurking and reading from this forum for about a year now, reading topics like sewing machines and common problems people have had. I have been saving up for about 6 months and had decided it was time to make the big purchase. I decided on a new machine as my first industrial machine and after checking out a few of the recommendations others had posted on the forum. I called Bob at Toledo Industrial about 2 weeks age. Despite being close to his closing time he took the time to listen to what it was I was looking for and the kind of work I intended to use the machine for. I had a few concerns about shipping as his shop is in Ohio and I live in Tampa Florida. He answered all of the questions I had and I decided to go ahead and purchase the Consew P1206-RB.
My machine arrived today at the freight terminal and I went to pick it up. I was very happy with the way it was received. The table was already assembled with motor and everything attached. The table was bolted to the pallet ensuring safe transport. The machine was boxed up with the extra items i ordered ( a few spools of thread and appropriate needles ). When I got everything home it was a snap to get set up and going. Still playing around with it and looking forward to getting started on a few projects. So far I was using scrap leather to get used to adjustments and getting used to the machine. I wanted to take the time to Thank Bob on the forum, and thank the general membership for all the knowledge and experience. For anyone who may be thinking about getting a machine, I would recommend Bob at Toledo Industrial as it was a great experience.
Best regards to all,
Joe
