@DieselTech,

The narrow feed dog and matching narrow throat plate are aftermarket items that are manufactured by two of our members. I linked to their profiles earlier in this thread. One is in Australia and the other is in the USA. I have the Australian narrow set installed in my cb4500 and haven't had to remove it to sew with #277 thread. I haven't tried using #346 and the larger #26 needle yet. That might be a bit too wide for this feed dog. I'll try it when I go to my shop later today (unless I forget!). The other set is best suited to smaller needles and thread. I have switched over to his set once to hem a pair of jeans. It worked perfectly! However, I also have a Techsew 2700 cylinder arm machine that already does that work, natively.

With a Cowboy cb4500, or Cobra Class 4, or Techsew 5100, and one or two narrow feeder/throat plate sets, one can sew anything from a pair of denim pants, or a wallet interior, up to a 7/8 inch thick holster. Just change the feeder, needle and thread, balance the knots, and sew the project at hand. The flatbed table attachment makes it easier to sew some flat items. I have one but rarely use it.

So are the throat plates & narrow feeders & presser feet a universal fit type thing?

 

Or all these parts for only their dedicated machines?

Are these feeder plates, & throat plates & presser feet available to do thin materials for the Cobra Class 4, Cowboy CB4500, & the Techsew 5100se? 

Thanks. I'm sorry for soo many questions & my newbie stupidity when it comes to these types of machines.

I forgot to add that there are presently three one armed bandits available, Tippmann Boss, Cowboy Outlaw, Weaver Cub.

I thought at 1st, that is what I would buy. 

But then got to doing some reading on the different machines & thought a 1 arm bandit is going to get old using. 

I kinda got this buy once / cry once mentality.

Lmao just buy it & get it over with. Right?

I almost bought a one armed bandit and came to the same conclusion before getting a Class 441.

Now it just comes down to which machine best meets your budget, needs and who you feel will give you the best after sales service. As far as accessories / attachments that is going to depend on what your needs are. When it comes to the needle positioning some people like it and others not so much. My machine did come with the needle positioning along with a 9 coil brushless motor. I never installed the needle positioning and the jury is still out as whether I keep the brushless motor on the machine.
