Hi guys, ages of not posting, can you help me identify this machine, and if you know it tell me something about it?

It's single needle walking foot for extra heavy-duty leatherworking, this machine is built like a tractor, super heavy yet uses the same table as half sized machines. Googled the brand but I only get a factory in China. I'm sure is being sold by other names too or is a clone of a known brand.

Thanks in advance!!

I did a search including the model number (SB-6180-1) and really didn't get anything on it. There is a Singer 6180 sewing machine. It doesn't look the same so it isn't a copy of that.

Did the same, got a singer brillance home machine with the same number, then I posted here :lol: Thanks Will

LOL, at lease our results are consistent. If you just glance at the logo without paying much attention, it looks like they might have been trying to make a Singer-ish looking name on it.

And resembles an Adler 204 now that I looked to the link in the previous post. 

[edit] there are many 204 models it seems, this one looks like the slimmer one 204-64 but with walking foot.

Reminds me of a Singer 132K6 when looking at the feet, thread lever, needle plate and tension unit but machine seems to have a barrel hook (see bobbin winder).

Regarding Sibyer I found this: http://www.sibyer.com/wap/cp.asp

Use google translate

Crap - they have every sewing machine you can imagine - sewing machine wonderland :lol:

Excellent detective work, I was unable to find their home page, well now I know the origin at least LOL. Still think it looks pretty similar to the smaller Adler 204

Thanks!!

What do you guys think of this machine, brand new at $1100, its a tank, really heavy duty, double the size of a typical 0303 for example, I asked if it can be slowed down changing a pulley from 80mm to 40 and they said it can be done, Im sewing 3/8"- 1/2" knife sheaths. Not big runs, I'm just tired of hand stitching.

Thanks!
