Servo For 45K Machine

[CustomDoug]

I've got a singer 45k25 that i want to put a servo motor on.. I'm thinking of getting a Sewpro 500gr (already had one and liked it) or trying a Consew CSM550. The consew is quite cheaper and is a 550watt motor (3/4 hp) compared to the Sewpro's 300watts. I know though that the Sewpro has the 3:1 gearing... but then the consew is also advertised as being a "high torque" servo. The consew is about twice as fast as the Sewpro, which I'll never need, but I wonder if it'll go as slowly as the Sewpro? So are these units going to be about equal it torque and what about slow speed control? I'll be sewing holsters and such with this machine.

I have a servo on my 45. I'll check & se which one tomorrow.

ah that'd be cool, I still haven't made a descision on a motor for the 45K. So yea, let me know what you've got.

I stock, sell,and setup machines with both 500GR and Consew CSM-550...I would never recommend a Consew CSM-550 motor for what the 45K is intented to be used for, as this would under power the machine, IMO. Hope this helps!
