I don't know if this will load or not due to the size but if so on page 8 part 6 is a small rod which holds the feed dog up 1.2mm above the needle plate. I sanded mine down about .3mm. The feed dog has a little funnel at the top lip which you could sand away if you wanted to but does make it a little more dangerous for a beginner as the needle can sometimes go sideways and strike the side of the feed dog.

Thank you for spending time to show me which part you were referring to. I see what you mean but, honestly, that’s way above my skill level. I’d have to stop drinking coffe for a week and loose about 100 lbs so my stubby fingers could even grab that pin.

i’ll look for alternatives for now but thanks again.

It looks like Juki makes a feed dog for thin needles for the 246: 21135108.

Even, both Jacksew and Universal sewing websites in the USA list the part. In stock at jacksew, order from Japan at U.S. Bad news: cost $200+.

There are several makers/dist. of 246 clones, you could try contacting them to see if they provide thin needle feed dogs.

That's the only way you are going to be able to see what's in the PDF file.  And YES, Rocky is great.

Thanks for finding that. Yeah, $200 is not ideal but if it is what it is I am ok with buying that part. When I click the link it goes to the juki machine and not the part. Where did you find the part?

You will have to search and order the part from one of their distributers or dealers. I do believe there are some dealer sponsors of this forum, leatherworker.net who work with Juki, but not positive. 

Where are you located?

According to the IP address @Piko is located near Santa Clara, California, 95052.

It's a good idea to list your approximate location in your profile.  It helps you get answers or help that is more likely to be relevant to your area.

Nord California. I found this on Ebay. Looks like what you are talking about. Does it look right?

Yes, I’ll do that, thank you.

Ask the seller if they can tell you which exact Juki part (#) that feed dog is based off of. I have found Asian suppliers to be receptive of questions when asked on ebay.
