Members amuckart Posted February 21, 2011 Members Report Posted February 21, 2011 Hi Mike, The thread shouldn't intersect with the channel knife at all. Did you re-thread it? I've emailed you a URL for the instruction manual. Quote -- Al. Medieval Stuff: http://wherearetheelves.net Non-Medieval, including my machines: http://alasdair.muckart.net
Members MikeCahill Posted February 23, 2011 Members Report Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Mike, The thread shouldn't intersect with the channel knife at all. Did you re-thread it? I've emailed you a URL for the instruction manual. Must have upset someone, posted 3 posts yesterday, all disappeared! what I said was yes I did re-thread, and I used the top thread to pull up the bottom thread, but both threads are getting chewed up by the channel knife. I then posted you to say that I'd been onto your blog and that if you are still experimenting with pegging, (blog from 2009) an Austrian company called "Blau Ring" still makes pegs and that I thought that beech was a bit hard for pegs, perhaps you could try birch, willow or popler(aspen) which are stringier, and less likely to snap, I then posted you to say that I'd put up some pictures of a saddlers sewing machine that I have that I recon will sew about an inch of leather it works clamped to a bench either vertically, or horizontally I took the photos today, but can't find the cable to connect it to the computer, so that will have to wait. also didn't get the URL for the handbook, can you send it again please cheers Mike Quote

Members Singermania Posted January 26, 2012 Members Report Posted January 26, 2012 HI, you didn't say what brand that shoe oursoler was, however if it was maroon it'd be the same as my frobana, its just missing the top cover. Regards Steve Quote
Members LeatherworkingNovice Posted February 7, 2012 Members Report Posted February 7, 2012 Hi Folks, Slightly OT here but need a bit of info.. I have the same Landis/American 3 in 1 that TrooperChuck posted way back when on the first page of this thread. Mine is assembled with the feeding disk on top and forward of the cutting disk and gives the same "ridged" edge TC describes. How difficult is it to remove the feeding disk and cutting disk and swap their positions so that the feed disk is on the bottom (where I don't worry about the ridges)? Would I want to just remove the disks or would it be better to pull and swap the whole disk/shaft assembly? Also I was going through some PDFs I came across several years ago and one of them is what I'd describe as an old sales brochure for the Landis 5 in 1. Judging from the design and font used I'd guess it dates to sometime between the 50s and the 70s. Where would I want to post that up for others to view & hopefully benefit from? Thanks! Quote

The cutting wheels are just screwed on but I don't remember if the threads are right or left handed I haven't had mine apart for a long time, you should have a flat spot on two sides to put a wrench on, hold the handle with one hand and turn the wrench with the other.
