Wizcrafts Report post Posted August 11, 2013 That machine (an Adler 205 clone) will sew belts and holsters all day. Be sure you oil it regularly with industrial sewing machine oil. Use leather point needles, type 794, which are available in sizes 23 and up. The machine is best used with thread sizes 138 and larger, with #277 being the preferred size, top and bottom. It will sew from about 6 ounces up to about 3/4 inches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also im clueless of this machine and i know its a dumb question but where excatly do i oil it??? Many servo motors can be set to reverse the rotation direction. Use the same switch used to prgam the max speed. If you do a search here, you should be able to find the instructions that have been posted for some brands. Then you should be able to mount the servo motor using the same mounting holes, assuming yours was the standard configuration. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tnawrot2 Report post Posted August 11, 2013 I looked at a Consew 2050 on ebay, because it is an arm machine that hangs off the table, the servo motor is mounted with the pulley to the left. This creates a counter weight to offset the weight of the head hanging over the table. The servo motor should mount in the same holes as the clutch motor. It looks like a great machine, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ec2121 Report post Posted August 11, 2013 i did find the info to correct the direction of the servo. my problem is that the pully is on the right side of the motor, wgen i need it to the left. it does line up and bolts on with the exsiting bolt but the speed selector will be facing to the back. i'm thinking maybe the guy that i got it from ordered the wrong one. i guess i can use it like that. it's not like i'm gone be using it at any speed other than slow...thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
