UKRay Report post Posted January 20, 2010 I have a brand new Highlead GC0618-1SC fitted with a servo motor. As long as it is stitching fast and straight it works fine but the minute I slow down the stitching, try to turn a corner or put the thing in reverse I risk breaking the thread. It doesn't do it every time (that would be too easy!) but whilst making a simple tool roll with twenty tool slots I had the thread break fifteen times. Another complication is that the servo motor has a 'computerized' control panel. When I slow the stitching down at the end of a run I run the risk of the computer control shutting down giving me an error reading. I then have to 're-boot' the machine by turning off the power.I purchased the machine new and am starting to wish I'd never seen it. Anyone got a clue what is happening here and how it might be fixed? I've got the engineer who sold it to me coming soon but I want to have a better idea of what the problem is before beating his head with it...Can anyone help?

Suze Report post Posted January 21, 2010 hooo boy electronics if it is the computer on board -- it might be toast electronics have two failure rates -- right now (in warrenty) or 20 years from now (when the warrenty is so out of date it doesn't matter anyway) can you take it back and get a different one?
