Hello to everyone, I've got a union lockstitch machine from an amish tack shop auction that is set up to run on overhead flat belt drive and I want to put it on a normal sewing machine table with electric motor and have a few questions about the process, as I've never done this before.
1. can I run this heavy machine off of a normal industrial sewing machine motor and a normal home electric outlet?
2. Can I run it off one of those new servo motors that can change the speed?
3. The balance wheel pulley is for a wide flat belt, can I find a wide belt pulley to go on a sewing machine motor instead of the Vbelt? If so, where?
2. do I need some kind of conversion setup between the flat belt and the v belt?
Any help is much appreciated!
