Sneak Peek: UT441 flatbed table attachment for 441 class machines
Silverd replied to Uwe's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Uwe, I'm looking for a flatbed attachment table for my seiko cylinder arm. Any chance you can make or have stock or know of a source for one? Many thanks! Silverd

I've also seen them, a lot on Instagram. I'm attempting to obtain a machine spec from one of the Chinese suppliers pending possible sale. I'm either going to buy a 17" postbed or one of these! Silverd

Hello Fellow Leather Workers, Im trying to obtain more information about a speciality sewing machine often used in the bag making industry. I think they call these machines Swing Arm style machines. Do any of our members have knowledge of these? Specifically I'm interested in the pros and cons but also how they stack up against a post bed style machine. Many thanks in advance! Silverd

Understand. Are any of your four machines top and bottom feed? Silverd
-
Hi A very good explanation of the two skiving machine types and excellent photos of both. I guess a question i have at this point is can a top and bottom feed type skiver be used everywhere a bottom only type feed machine can be used? Thank you Silverd

I own and use daily a seiko BSC-8BL Cylinder machine. Very nice build quality and operation. Silverd

Thank you! It was fun in the making and sold before it was completely finished. Customer loved it at first sight! Silverd

I spray applied reduced fiebings navy blue pro for the main panels then a blend of navy and white pearl for the flap crest and the straps. The white is a water base which I'd not mixed with an alcohol base die before but it seemed to work well. The mix had to be agitated to keep the peal flakes suspended. Then a final coat of resolve. Edge coating is also a custom mix to achieve a darker blue. Silverd

I don't see that's CLoys actually sells hides, no less goat hides. What say you? Silverd

What do we know about 360 degree post bed machines? Anything? Silverd

You won't be doing a lot of equestrian tack with a 1541 or other 135 x 16 needle system machines but your handbags and wallets will be very happy. Definitely a juki 1541s. New I think under $1500.00 head only, well worth it. The rest of the table and drive motor are available everywhere. Will want to consider getting a speed reducer as well. Strongly recommended or the smallest drive pulley on the drive motor. Contact Bob at Tolledo Industrial Sewing for the motor and controller and Reducer. Get your table locally. You don't need lasers, eps but buy a good drop down roller guide and every type of Presser foot sets made. Chinese stuff is fine. You will be grinding on these as you gain more experience. I purchased a Seiko cylinder arm BSC-8BL for about $3800.00 delivered. A very nice and robust machine. Now looking for a 17" post bed or possibly a 360 machine. Good luck Silverd

Fabulous write up and photos. Very informative. Easy to follow and actualize! Silverd

Doesn't the process mark up the surrounding area? Silverd

Best I have seen Silverd

Guess i should check out Visio and conduct this part of the process in my own shop. Thank you! Silverd

Bert, My appologies. The cost of digitizing, cutting and shipping materials back and forth was too expensive and just didn't make good business sense. As well you has concerns about life expectancy of your laser tube and were not able to cut two of the rubber products i use in the sandals due to fumes. As it's winter now. and Sandal sales are down even in California, I'm focusing on other products at this time. I've also made some material changes to improve the wearability and comfort level which I'm planning to release on my next build cycle that I will be cutting by hand. Silverd

How much and how do I pay! Silverd
-
Nice job! I have a three pc snap wallet that I'm considering having clicker dies made as a first product that I want to roll into production with quantity orders of 50 -100 pcs. If your interested I'd like to discuss. My sandals are ideal candidates for laser cutting but are also much more of a commitment in all respects and I don't have retail distribution at this time. Silverd.

Possibly. The main cost problem was having the paper patterns digitized. Silverd
