badger Report post Posted March 26, 2011 This is my Singer 45B8BC (Seiko CH8). The Rolls Royce of heavy duty leather machines. The machine is in fact a Seiko CH8 made in Japan and branded for Singer. The engineer who serviced it last week told me it is definitely a Seiko and all parts are fully interchangeable. This machine will sew more than 3/4" of heavy leather. The foot lift is almost one and a quarter inches. It sews with a beautiful, even, adjustable stitch and has a built in reverse. It's mounted on a substantial bench and comes complete with motor with the Efko Variostop controller. It has a needle position sensor and knows where the needle is at all times. I have the controller set at low speed, which I find easily fast enough for my needs, but it is fully adjustable. A back kick on the pedal lifts the needle out of the work and back to top dead centre. Speed control pedal is on the left, foot lift on the right. Throat depth is 16 inches. Throat clearance height is 8 inches. Also included is an 8 LED needle light which floodlights the needle area. I'll supply the machine with about 20 needles and four high capacity bobbins and an additional set of walking feet. This machine is a bargain at what I paid for it, £1,990.00 I'm in Greenford, London borough of Ealing. I would prefer the buyer collect.
