RobC01 Report post Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) For my first run at “industrial” level sewing, I acquired two used machines at what I considered a good price. One is a Tandy Stitch Master and the other might be a Cowboy 227-R. I say “might” because there’s no manual and no data plate. The seller didn’t know. It also looks slightly different than the 227 closeup on the Toledo website. The machine I have has different holes at the base of the head. I’m not sure if that is just variance from the factory or not? I’m going to see what I can figure out using the Consew 227R manual. PS: The Stitch Master has its manual . Any help or advice for either is appreciated! Edited April 18, 2023 by RobC01 Clarity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted April 19, 2023 obviously a 227R - maybe from a different batch. Also check SEIKO CW-8 or Consew 227R - basically all the same machines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s my first industrial or leather machine so I wanted to be sure. These models and makes are all so similar, but some end up having differences in capabilities (thread and material thickness) or have some parts or features that other near identical machines don’t. I emailed Toledo with the SN to verify. For now I’m using a Consew 227R PDF manual to get familiar with it. The seller said it lost timing and wouldn’t pick up thread because he tried too much material. Hopefully I can get it set up and figure out how to adjust it. Repairs or not- it seemed like a good deal he sold them together for $1000. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
