I’ve messaged the seller and it’s currently fitted with a single phase mains motor but could come with the 3 phase instead if preferred by the way. Yeah, just struggling to find a cylinder machine nearby ): probably should wait it out but I think I’m going to go and try out this machine because the videos of it working are just so good!

Hi, yeah I was looking at how to power or swap out the three phase motor this morning and have decided this probably isn’t for me. Thanks for the input!

this is the link to the machine https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285128462690?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=HwDiRYT5SlS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=6NP462mrTZG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks for the reply, this is what I was thinking. I usually just sew with seams inside so this would all be able to be done on flat bed but i think for versatility I might keep looking for a cylinder bed machine. especially considering the price. thanks again

Thank you, my projects have been pretty thin thus far but when getting a sewing machine I’d ideally like to be able to sew up to 10mm or as much as possible. I agree a cylinder with flatbed will give the most variety but I can’t think of a situation other than wanting to see details onto the leather once the bag is constructed that I’d need the cylinder bed. Are there any regular bag construction methods that require cylinder? The thread thickness I use correctly is .8-1mm thick for hand sewing. Yes the patcher machine was treadle, I would probably be ok with that but don’t know as I haven’t used powered or treadle sewing machine for leather before. I’m not sure about clutch motor or server motor but I can ask the seller. Thanks for your reply! Thanks, sorry I’m new and couldn’t find the correct thread

Hi so I’m looking into buying a leather sewing machine to reduce how long it takes me to make my products. There are a couple of options near by that I am interested in but would love some info from you guys. I’m mainly concerned with flat bed vs post/cylinder arm. Are you able to construct bags with weird shapes with a flat bed? I have thought over my current project and can’t think of anything that I can’t do with a flat bed as long as I construct it in the correct order. I’m looking at the singer 29k58 £410 leather and canvas patcher with post arm and bench and singer industrial 132b6 with walking foot, motor and bench £600 I’m leaning towards the 132b6 because from videos online it looks very heavy duty going through many layers of leather. But it has a flat bed. As I make small novelty, shaped bags this concerns me a little but i can’t actually think of anything that I wouldn’t be able to do. Any advice on leather sewing machines etc would be appreciated, I’ve never used one and don’t really know what to look for.
