Members nuncanunca Posted June 17, 2009 Members Report Posted June 17, 2009 Kevin is right about the clutch motor. The one I have has a slower motor as clutch motors go - 1725 rpm I think - but it still sews much too quickly for me on many projects. Belts and bags are ok at full speed - in a straight line - but for corners or detailed inlays I have been turning it by hand. Some of that is due to my lack of skill. Some members have put a servo motor on these with good results. I was looking into a servo motor or speed reducing pulley for it before I got my new machine. The needle size goes up to 25, but I haven't tried to sew with thread to fit a needle that big. I wouldn't try to sew anything as thick as a holster or saddle with it, but it has been fine for wallets and small bags. Dave Quote
