Cobra Vs Cowboy Vs Techsew

[Samalan]

Yes the EPS is a big one!

So apparently there are no important differences in these machines, other than the stainless steel feet on Cowboy machines ? Perhaps I should mostly consider what is offered for accessory packages and shipping cost as the deciding factors. Any thoughts.... ?

OK........ I give up, what is meant by "EPS" ???

[CowboyBob]

Electronic needle position,where the needle either stops up or down.

OK..... I don't really know that EPS is an important feature. I've been sewing for years in many different materials with many machines, and never had a problem stopping where I wanted to. I guess it could be handy, but not a deal breaker.

No apologies necessary !!! I value your opinion. Some features will be more important than others to different people. The more info and opinions I can gather, the easier I it will be to make a decision. .

I have two out of the three and all parts are interchangeable. Go for the best deal.

Steve's Cobra Machine with EPS made it possible for me to even sew surgery you see. And i thank you Steve for making that possible.

These are copies of Germans and Japanese position motors, I have Adler's from the 1980`s who came fully equipped with such motor. Sometimes it helps to look out of the window. However, the pro motors like Efka and Ho sing cost more; they can also do much more. They are in no need of a speed reducer and can be equipped with all kinds of extras like: Back-tacking, foot lift, thread trimmer, needle cooler and you name it....... The one I use on my 441 clone ( German Efka 1550-AB 321) has up 1800 watt and 8 Nm of torque, I only use the half of it. You might not need all this on a leather machine, nevertheless it makes all the upgrades possible if you need it later. They are small and can be placed inside machines or on the back side of the machine like on the pic. Or the traditional way under the table.

Then the quality is superior, the ones I have from the 1980 still works very well. Price from 600 to 900 $, remember you do not need a reducer; then it is not that expensive.
