Thanks for your reply. That’s what I found too. It doesn’t stitch when I tried it with 2 pieces of veg tan leather together 8mm Thick.

Hi everyone, I’m selling a SINGER 29K71 on behalf of a retired cobbler. I’m a shoemaker in Australia and I only have used my 29K71 for leather used in shoemaking, probably maximum 3mm thick. A person wants to buy it but they’re asking about the maximum thickness that this machine can stitch. The information I found on the net says 8mm. I tried to stitch two pieces of veg tan leather together (8mm) total and the leather doesn’t even move. The needle is going into the same position all the time. The machine stitches nicely on a lighter weight leather (2mm) but not with 8mm. Can someone’s share their experiences please?

Thanks everyone for your information. I’ve ordered some via eBay as suggested by Wepster.

Thanks Aven, I checked their website but they haven’t got the ones I’d like to get.

Hi fellow leather workers, I’m in Australia and I can’t find this tool here. I don’t even know if this is the right name for it. Would anyone know a supplier in the USA that stocks this. Cheers, José

Thanks for your advice mate.

Hey everyone, I’ve got a very old Auto-Soler Jack Master Sander. I need a Trimmer Cutter Retaining Screw - Part number 7132 (1/4 -20 LH x 9/16) Here in Australia it is impossible to find parts for this machine. I can’t even find ordinary bolts or screws that are Left Hand Thread. Any advice how to get it would be appreciated. Thanks, José
