Great job! Thanks for the story, my timing finding it was perfect. I got to read and see it all at once.

Can't wait until this is available!! I'm in! -
Still looking...

Thanks, Still looking. Converting to 60mm didn't work. Funny, as many of these things that are out there, you'd think ebay and Amazon would be loaded with replacement belts.

Good morning, Does anyone know where I can get sanding drums/belts/sleeves for the cheap Chinese sander/burnisher machines? Approx 2 3/8" diameter x 2" wide? I've searched ebay/Amazon/search engine and can't find any other than Tandy, and they're priced out of sight. I'd hate to have them made if someone is already carrying them in multiple grits. TIA Cliff

Thanks!!

The leather point equivalent to these needles?

I'll check for play tomorrow. I timed it with 2.5 (factory spec)? Packed up and heading to the tech early tomorrow, bit of a ride, but hopefully it'll get straightened out...

checked it and it'll run 207 easily and cleanly.

Same problem with #92...

Found a repair shop only a couple of hours away, going in next Monday.

No difference.

Everything seems perfect. Can easily slide 207 through the notch no hangups anywhere, tried multiple gap hook/needle gap and timing changes, it does seem that sewing speed changes quality from maybe ok on some stitches to loops on others, no consistency at all. I'm down to size 92 and still having the same issues. I don't think it's a tension issue any longer, this machine (by feel) is running MUCH higher tension on 92 than my other is running with 138 or 207 and still loops on the bottom, with shitty stitches all the way around. I'm waiting on slow boat for another feed dog, but now I'm playings part replacer instead of proper diagnosing and doing it right. #Frustration
