Yeah i was looking to get replacement parts soon. The thread is 138, and the needles are 135x16 any suggestion on the replacement parts.

Hello everyone, I have been working on my Juki 563, Following some guides on fine tuning it. I am working on making sure the thread hook and needle are lined up together. During that process I found my thread would jam up. It seems the bobbin release finger and the needle plate cause the jam. When i adjusted the needle and thread arm i moved the bobbin release finger to to far over and it will not move enough for the thread to pass through. I moved the bobbin case back enough to for the thread to pass the bobbin release finger, but now the thread hook doesn't capture the thread from the needle. I looked through the manual and could not find anything that would help. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thank you, Tom

I recently bought a Juki 563 for 250$ It works great, very smooth action. Only major issue is the machine runs way to fast for what I want to do with it. Mainly wallets and some other small items. I might try some bags. Dam it was a lot heavier than i thought it was going to be. I am looking for suggestions on how to slow it down I know there are servo motor and a speed reducer. I am wondering what brands/version you guys would recommend. Needle I know the needle size(type) is a 135x17, what I am having trouble with is what point type is recommended. For the thread I know it is limited to size 138, is it possible to push it to 207 or 277? Having done some research on this site, it seems like it will not be possible Also looking for accessories that would be good for it, Example a edge guide is something i am going to get. I was wondering if there is an attachment that would help me do fabric liners better. something might fold the fabric onto the leather as it is stitching it. (pipe dream i think) The sewing table: The only negative aspect of the setup is the particle board table is warping slightly. It is not a major issue, but is bothers me each time I look at it. I was wondering if there are any plans for making your own. I am not sure if it is a standard kind of table. If i kept an eye out on craigslist or something, I could find one or if I should make my own. (try to keep it as cheap as possible) not sure if it is worth the effort vs buying a new top. I have access to a large format CNC machine I can cut it out with, if I draw the design out. Also, for the table I am looking for a push button power, currently it is just a light switch mounted on the bottom, not a major change just me nitpicking. I found some cheap sewing machines on craigslist that come with complete tables. https://cnj.craigslist.org/for/d/woodbridge-singer-107g13-straight-zig/7001719586.html It is a little bit of a drive but could be worth it for just the table and legs. They look cleaner than the ones for my table. the next aspect I want to do is a major cleaning and re-painting. So far it does not look to have to much grime or dirt on/in it. It is just personal preference honestly. I saw Vinito's post on his restoration and sent him a message.I am just trying to decide if it is worth it. I like tearing my equipment down and then re-assembling it, so i know how it all works. Since is it working so well, I think ill just give it a wipe down and call it a day. Thank you for reading and for your time.
