I mentioned the vibrating pressure foot lifting height, which is probably not correct for sewing machine with roller feed. What I intended to ask was the maximum thickness to be sewed.

Altso this one? What does the 4 indicate?

Dear Friends Can anybody help me with this PFAFF machine plate. It is a 191-4-33 I wonder what the vibrating presser lift height and stitch length is on a machine like this. Brgds DanishMan

The stuff I have is old. I will not charge a lot - but of course shipping will be expensive

I bought a lot last year with a lot of feed wheels, ejectors, knife shaft, grinding stones, presser feet etc. These things were not related to my ruined skiving machine. Just send me a picture, if you can't find the stuff in the US. Then I will see, what I have.

No I Don’t have a belt cover, but different bolts, screws and springs. I also have about 10 feed wheels and a lot of presser feet and some ejector plantes, if you need it. Brgds Soren

Regarding belt for the grinding stone, my suggestion is to use a 4 mm leather strap. I ordered a new belt in the UK, but the shop sent a belt of wrong dimension. Instead I got hold of a solid leather strap, and it works flawlessly on my other skiver

Hi Katit I took a skiving machine apart last week? Which parts are you looking for? Brgds DanishMan

Hi Ray I have a PFAFF 145 H2, which I did find in a barn. After cleaning it, it now runs very nicely. I have three other 145s to fix, and I will do a final tour to the barn on Wednesday to pick up one or two more machines to be used for spares and a couple of tables. I am not sure about the feed dog on your machine, and whether it is possible to swap parts to make to make it drop feed. If you want to give it a try, please let me know. I will not charge you for the parts (if I find some on Wednesday) - only for the shipping. Brgds DanishMan PS - my machine is this one https://www.dba.dk/pfaff-145/id-1052788821/

Dear Friends A couple of months ago, I bought an old skiving machine for restoration. During disassembly I managed to ruin the machine. Now I am parting out the machine. If anyone is looking for parts, just let me know. The skiving machine looks to be a Fortuna clone using the same parts. Brgds Danishman

Thank you Uwe. Very useful information. Brgds Soren Also a good idea to upload video on youtube and provide a link for it.

Hi again Uwe If I can get your email, I can email the small video sequence to you. Brgds Soren

Hi Uwe Thank for your time and effort. The strange thing for me is the fact, that it is the lower plate, that hits the needle. By moving to hook carrier, the distance between hook and needle may become too large, whereby the hook will not be able to catch the thread. Brgds DanishMan

Certainly. As a matter of fact, it is not the needle but the underside of the bobbin case, hitting the needle. Thank you again. Brgds Danishman https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/s/?view=att&th=1688185b020d3ddd&attid=0.1&disp=attd&safe=1&zw

Dear Friends As mentioned a few weeks ago, I have tried to provide long distance advise to a friend, who is struggling with a PFAFF 193. She has bought the machine as slightly defect - the hook had broken after hitting the needle. Now with a replacement hook, the problems is the same (obviously). What can be done to adjust this? Do one really have to displace the pillar by just a fraction, or is there som smart way of doing this. My friend also mentioned that the entire hook assembly was a bit wobbly. There are several youtube videos about the PFAFF 193, but neither mentions how to adjust the hook/needle distance. Kind regards DanishMan

Dear Friends I am looking for an old skiving machine head to restore, i.e. Fortuna, Nippy etc. Preferably not too far from Denmark as shipping is costly. Brgds DanishMan

Hi Wizcrafts. I am interested in learning to do it myself, but you are right - a mechanic might be an idea (if I can look over his shoulder).

Hi Wizcrafts Thank you for your input. I have come to the same conclusion, but as a sewing machine newbie, it is nice to get confirmation. Brgds DanishMan

I have seen this, but it is not crystal clear to me. From what I can see, one has to move the "tower". But in a later video from "SewGood" he also removes a latch on the side of the "tower" for some adjustment, but I am not sure of which - Being a non native english speaker, I might be loosing a few details. Brgds Danish Man

Dear Friends I am trying to help a friend in fixing a PFAFF 193. She bought it with a broken hook and now got a new one. However, when installing the hook, it touches the needle, which was probably the reason for the broken hook in the first place. How do one adjust the hook distance? Is it necessary loosen the gear beneath the machine and move the entire "post tower" or is there some place to fine tune? Brgds Danish Man

I just came across this machine. Looks to be in very good shape at a price of 440 Euros. https://www.blocket.se/helsingborg/SEIKO_CW_1_Industrisymaskin_83301118.htm?ca=11&w=3

Is it a 145 or a 195?

Hi Uwe I had an idea, that the differences were small. I have a lot of presser feet - some smooth and some teethed. It should not be a problem then to convert it to a leather machine. Brgds Danish Man

Dear Friends Two months ago I salvaged four PFAFF 145s from a garage in Denmark. One is up and running with, and I am about to start on the next one. One of the machines is a H3 with a safety clutch but for fabric - not leather. What is the difference between a H3 Sxx and a H3 Lxx? Brgds Danish Man
