Hello all,

Last year I bought a pretty ratty looking Singer 211U166A from a local auction.  Throughout my tinkering I have found a lot of interesting information on this forum.  I am far from finished with the work on my machine, but I figured it would be worth starting a build/progress thread.  Hopefully someone finds these pictures to be helpful on a project of their own. 

So far I've redone the black oxide on a lot of the rusted screws, added a machine mounted small (but still 0.44hp) servo motor that is designed for a CNC machine tool, and replaced about half of the oiling felt.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions I would like to hear them.  I am new to the sewing world so I dont really know what I'm doing.

Nice job, I really like the nice clean servo setup.

Seeing the machine collapsed inside the table is a sad sight to see. Looks unloved :( 

Good luck with the build  :)

Did you do the machine work on the handwheel?  If so - Very nice work.

The model number giveth, and the subclass taketh away ......... Sometimes

Some nice work there. If it was me, though, I would have made the handwheel bigger as it will help give better control and torque. How do you intend controlling the servo?

I did.  Thank you.  I am thinking I will anodize it black to match the rest of the machine.

I was going back and forth on handwheel size.  I ended up at 5" diameter.  I forget the size of the original but the new one is a little bigger.  

I made a pedal with a rotary encoder that talks to the motor.  I dont have an actual picture of the pedal right now but this a screenshot of the model.
