#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
This is how it is sewing with that left presser foot not touching the needle plate. Here is a couple pics. The side with the makers mark is the feed dog needle plate side. Might need to lower my feed dog a touch more & back foot pressure off some. What's your guys thoughts? -
Thanks. I think alot of guys & gals use the suede for lining. 1 high end holster maker uses it, so it cant be that bad.
-
Nice work! They look great! Beautiful work. Do you line your scabbards & if so what do you use? Thanks.

#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Thanks @Wizcrafts . I changed to @Patrick1 #25 needle plate & feed dog. I also changed the presser feet to the narrow foot & left presser foot. Should my presser foot be off of the needle plate? Here is a pic. Is there another adjustment I need to make? Thanks. Any & all help will be appreciated. -
#25 narrow needle plate & feed dog install/adjustment
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Yeah I set the #25 needle plate & feed dog up using a leather machine co. procedure for the cobra class 4 for the standard needle plate & feed dog. I just did not know since i was using a aftermarket needle plate & feed dog if there were other/more critical adjustments not mentioned or showed. -
Guys & gals I recently recieved a new cobra class 4. I would like to install the #25 needle plate & feed dog. What adjustments need to be made? Is there a actual # for the feed dog height above the needle plate? Videos I watched said a papers thickness above the needle plate is the proper feed dog height. Can somebody give me some pointers to make sure everything is ok & I'm not going to break something. Thanks.

Where does this piece go? Cobra Class 4
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Thanks TomE I appreciate it. Yeah I watch like 50 videos & read 14 articles & could not find anything on it for the class 4. I'm going to run without it then. Thanks. -
Guys & gals I'm assembling my cobra class 4. Where does this screw in thread guide go? It was in with a bag of parts. I cant seem to find anything about it. Now lmao I havent looked in the manual yet for it. I found 1 spot on top of the sewing machine it threads into, I just dont know if that is where it goes. The other thing is, if it is used what's it used for? & how is thread routed thru it? Thanks.
-
Yeah I finally found a video by Van Plew on youtube about cobra class 4 eps installation. On another note I got a thread in thread guide I'm not sure as to where it goes. I found 1 spot right on top it threads into. Lmao I just dont know if it goes there. I cant find anything about it.
-
Guys & gals my EPS directions got accidentally taped on the inside of the box & destroyed them when I opened the box. Does my EPS look like everything is installed right? The red Mark's were there from leather machine co. So I just lined them up. Does this look correct? Thanks.
-
Now I remember it. But I dont remember where the actual brake is. & how you disable it or back it off. Thanks.
-
Yeah I was going to get a cowboy cb4500, but the shipping was going to be twice as much than the cobra. So I went that route. I cant wait to use it. Lol I might get it put together tonight.
-
Lmao I dont even know if mine is right! The bracket the drop down guide came with is goofy like yours & I could not get it to work. Soo them pics is how I mounted my guide.
-
Thanks. I'll keep you updated. I'll get some pics here in a bit.
-
Here how my drop down guide is mounted. I did buy the extended hand lift knob & bracket to make this all work.
-
Thanks. I appreciate the photos. I'm slowly figuring it out.
-
Yes it is. Lol I'm kinda lost at the moment. Trying to figure everything out. I'm trying to figure my EPS out now. Lmao I have seen a couple videos & it's got me kinda lost. But I think I'm right. Waiting on a phone call to make sure. Love it!!!
-
Yep I watched a bunch of videos & they all said the same thing as you. Thanks. Well it showed up! Pallet full of stuff! Cant wait to try it out.
-
My class 4 should be the same mounting for the drop down guide. I'll get you some pics once I get to that point.
-
Welcome to the group. Bunch of great people here. Enjoy!
-
Well I am supposed to take delivery of a cobra class 4 sewing machine in the morning. I'll keep you all posted. Hopefully I can find some help to set it all up.

Yeah I want to make a PID knife oven as well, just had not really had the funds. Them good PID controllers are not cheap.
