shoe Report post Posted April 28 (edited) I need to slow down my first light sewing machine. I've seen Wizz suggest a very nice motor from toledo I think. I've also seen a box on top of the clutch motor. I've also seen a combination of the two. What do I actually need to sew light glove weight leather to upholster guitar pads. I have an outlaw for heavier leather. I also need to be using it asap. I can expand later if I need. Thank you for your help.

dikman Report post Posted April 28 The first thing to do is fit a servo motor, preferably with a small 45mm pulley. That may be slow enough to do what you want, if not the next step is to fit a speed reducer pulley setup between the motor and the sewing machine. There are generally two commercially available types, the box type you're referring to and a large/small combined pulley on an arm. But if you currently have a clutch motor swap to a servo! The one Wizz suggests is a proven type, but any of the generic ones on ebay will be a vast improvement over a clutch motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
