Tido Report post Posted yesterday at 05:11 AM (edited) Hi everyone, I am getting into leather shoe making and I am drawn to the Seiko tf-6 (or similar models). Unfortunately it doesn't look like I am able to source one easily from where I am (Calgary, AB, Canada). I know that the Singer 18 is similar, but I was wondering if there are any other similar machines that people could recommend? Thank you!

The Seiko TF - 6 was a left handed machine drop feed machine using a max thread size of V92. I think this series has been dropped and now the right handed drop feed machines are the only ones available now in the TE series which also have a thread max of V92. Have you considered maybe a post bed machine????? I did a very quick search on Alibaba and could not find a drop feed cylinder arm. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
