Hi guys,
just bought a Juki 1541 and wanted a speed reducer, then came across this topic. In UK and previously cut my old Singer 58K45 table to fit a two pulley arrangement underneath. Works well but had to make up my own belts. This time I might try this gentleman’s big pulley to avoid cutting new table. The pulley plus bush is quite cheap compared to box reducer with the US postage and import duties. I wonder if anyone knows the hand wheel shaft Dia on the Juki 1541 so that I can order pulley and bush in anticipation of the arrival of new Juki?
For info, on my old Singer I run a belt from the big wheel on the Singer handle to a small pulley on the dual shaft. Then another belt from the same shaft, 8” pulley to the small pulley on the modern energy motor, a Jack.
