jhaynes5 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 Anyone have an opinion about REX machines. I have one cornered that the owner used for sails & wondering if it will handle 2 layers of 7/8oz? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 5, 2012 A buddy of mine had a Rex 280 something that had teeth on the presser feet and feed dog. It marked up the leather pretty badly, but fed like a SOAB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhaynes5 Report post Posted October 5, 2012 This is a REC 26-188 7 I don't see them talked about much here- the price is right, if it will do what I need- but didn't want to buy it just to have it sit around- Thanks for your feed back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The feet had aggressive teeth on the bottom. It was a double feed machine, with the outside foot driven in sync with the feed dog on the bottom. The inside foot and needle bar just move vertically, in one position. These are upholstery grade machines and are also great for feeding denim and vinyl, or chap leather.
