Pedersen Model 309 Information

[Dannymac]

Hello all. I am looking at purchasing a Pedersen 309 outsole stitcher. Does anyone happen to have any information about the machine in question - user manuals, sources for needles and awls... or what thickness of leather the machine is capable of sewing? I have a Keats and Bexon outsole stitcher that will only stitch around 10mm which is less than half an inch. I am hoping the 309 can do roughly twice that. If I'm totally wrong please chime in.

 

Any info would be appreciated. I'd be happy to purchase a user manual if you happen to have one.

 

Thank you

Rapid E?   The Cadillac  of curved sole stitchers.   Parts , needles and awls you can get from  Gateway Shoe in St. Louis.

Hi Glenn. I think the Rapid E is the 317. A very helpul Gentleman on the shoerepairer forum provided some info including a user manual for the 309. He also suggested the that the Rapid E was the only Pedersen to bother with.

Anyone know a moderator I can pass the user manual to? I think some people were looking for instructions on the 309.

A manual for the 309 if anyone is interested.
