Nice

ok I found the difference in the two different needle systems. Only difference is the grind on the point one bring 3 and the other a 4 point grind.

Well I just got home with my new to sewing machine. Was able to locate it within 30 min of me. It seems to be in good condition. Sews good on test runs. New learning curve on new machine.. trying to figure out why it is set up with a 135x16 -24 system when all the info I can on it says it is suppose to use a 134-35 needle system ?. Anyone know the difference in the two needle systems ?

Ok thanks Bob that’s what I needed to know.

Can someone tell me what thread this machine will handle. Does it have a round bobbin or oscillating bobbin? Ant additional information would be appreciated. Thanks Ken

Can someone point me to where I can find detailed instructions on putting a needlepoint work on a belt and finishing it into a belt. Not having any luck googling it. I am getting several request for this work and would like to study up on it first . Thanks

I have a one ton press that I use to punch holes in my belts. I use wood spacers for each size belt to ensure the holes are centered. I have three old Stimpson rivet,snap presses that I picked up off of eBay. Solid cast iron wonderful press. I have each set up for a particular rivet or snap task. I made or modified the tooling for each. I also have a old 5-10 ton not sure which arbor press that I may set up for small cricket press.

I knew from the get go I had no interest in hand sewing. Did all of that that I wanted years ago when I was in reenacting. Bought a CB3200 first. Now have a Adler 69 and a Adler 30-7.

I bought a Sewing machine and press the first month that I decided to do leather work.

Thanks Bikermutt this exactly the information I was looking for.

New angled blade

Who makes the best skiving knife as far as quality and holding a good sharp edge.

Welcome aboard

Don’t leave greased lighting on there to long it will hurt the paint finish.

Good looking work. Welcome aboard

I am listen to you. But got my mind on a servo motor. I am sometimes to stubborn for my on good.

Ok good advice. Nothing is on it right now. It was always used as a foot or hand crank. Does it hurt anything to dissable the brake on a servo motor? I have one on my Adler 69 and hate the brake. I was a little Leary of the patchers for what others said about them not being good stickers.. This thing actually lays down a pretty good stitch line.

Well I finally went and bought the Adler 30-7. Glad I made the trip. This machine has not seen a lot of use. In the same family since new with just occasional use. A big shout and thank you to Glenn for taking the time to answer my questions help get a couple things adjusted on it. Next in line is putting a sero motor on it. I will post some pics after finish gettting it set up.,

Is anyone here familiar with Thoer GT 801 skiver. I see where it has a roller top guide instead of the normal foot. Looks very interesting .

What level of experience do you need to come to your class.

AndyL1 do you use the Glowforge just for surface art or do you also use it to cut out patterns. If so how good of a job does it do and what about the burnt edge. What do you do with it. Thanks ken

I have been picking up Stimpson 405 press when I can find them. These are the old cast iron ones. Really robust press. Wouldn’t mind picking up another one. I use rivets and snaps from Weaver supply. Pleased so far.

So sorry to hear this
