Thank You, i must have missed the thread when i was posting.

Hello, I have been looking around and have found that you can get parts to convert your walking foot machine to a roller feed. We currently run consew 255rb-2/3, 287rb-2, and 285rb-2. My issue is i havent been able to locate where i can get the parts for conversion or a decent walkthrough for converting the machine itself. From my understanding you replace the walking pressure foot, remove walking foot, replace needle plate and feed dog. Is there any other adjustments that need to be done to the machine when converting? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks You!

I guess the best way i can describe it is it works as a moveable adhesive. I know it sounds odd to use but that is the way they have done it for the last 90 years, while trying to get them to move to a different product im also trying to find a way to salvage ones that have been stained if possible

Do you know where i could find a machine for blade sharpening or is there a good way to DIY the machine?

there is nothing to prevent it from happening again sadly. it has been used in the products for over 90 years and it doesnt happen all of the time but when it does we have to remake, i wasnt sure if there was a way to pull it from the leather or not to remove the stain.

You are correct it is the cosmoline grease. We adapted it to our products, it does great holding the leather together while still allowing the material to move slightly when in use. only problem is sometimes it soaks through the leather to the appearence side. Its worse when it is hotter out.

The machine in question is a 132-14 model. It was purchased new and is has roughly 18 months of use on it. We purchased this model due to it having interchangeable cutting shafts. We run 4 different shafts for varying widths of materials. a few blades wont be a big expense however total amount that we use make it quite a substantial purchase in regards to blades. I have never heard of Sieck of Germany i will have to look them up. Thanks

I don't have pictures of the product, I had to sign an NDA that wont allow me to upload them. The use of cosmoline is to adhere the flesh side of 2 leather components together. This allows them to stay formed but leaves movement for when it is being used. It is applied on the inside of the product before it is sewn closed.

I used Cosmoline inside of some of my products. Recently i noticed a dark stain from the cosmoline on the leather after submerging the leather in water. Is their anyway to pull the stain out or am i doomed to have to remake it?

Yes i did resize the images i was trying to upload, it worked for 3 of them for some reason the rest wouldnt load. It kept telling me that it exceeded the size but i had already taken them from 2.5mb down to 750 kb and it still wouldnt let me load them so i just entered the diameters through the text.

Pictures dont all want to upload. outer dimensions are 2.75" or 70mm. Inner dimensions are 35.32mm or 1.39 inches. any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I run a leather stripper made by campbell randall. I use it for many different things and go through quite a few blades. I have ordered new blades from campbell randall in the past but they can get pretty pricey with the ammount that i use. Does anyone know where i may be able to source blades of this size in the pictures? Thanks,

Im running a Consew 287 RB 2. There is a ringing coming from behind the door on the side of the head. Its not constant and only starts when you start sewing fast. When walking the machine there is no ringing. Has anyone ran onto this issue before? It is currently not affecting how the machine is running but it is something that i have yet to run into so i am a little stumped. Thanks,

I dont believe our conditioner is analine specific. The leather hasnt been sitting for 5 years. We have been using this leather for 5 years and have never run into this issue before. hard to pinpoint the climate as texas likes to change its weather daily
