toxo Posted January 19, 2024 Report Posted January 19, 2024 Well I've done it. For better or worse. I've realised that numbers mean nothing so I asked for what I wanted and apparently, that's what I've got. It's different knowing what the model numbers mean from the get go. She says "about your machine model. 2 means self lubricatoon, L means large bobbin 28mm. so your 341 machine model will be JL-341L-2." Also included, table attachment, speed reducer, spare hook and bobbins/needles. They're putting it together and will do a video when done. Then It's the long wait. Quote

Just hoping the speed reducer takes it down enough although I can always change the pulley size. And it'll be great not having to worry about oiling. Like when you only intended to do a little bit that turns into a bit more and you realise you didn't oil it. Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted January 19, 2024 Members Report Posted January 19, 2024 Congratulations. Looks like a darn nice machine! Quote

I think you should be pleased with the capabilities of a 341. 1 hour ago, toxo said: JL-341L-2 At least they are honest with their labeling / numbering which is nice to see.
