Machine Speed

[HawkIS]

I am new to sewing and just picked up a Consew 206RB-5 last week with a servo motor. I am trying to get used to it but it seems to be a little too fast at its slowest speed. I have linked a video showing how fast it goes on the slowest speed. Is that normal? Does it usually go that fast on the slowest setting? Is there any way to make it go slower?

Thanks!

Install a smaller pulley on your motor. Or has it a 2" pulley already?

Wrong motor pulley! Where did you buy the machine? If a dealer, contact them to see if they can supply you with a small (2"/50mm max) pulley and a shorter belt to match the difference in diameters of the old and new pulleys.

Before you contact them, try all of the speed settings to ensure that all or most make a difference. The slowest speed on my similar motor is labeled 350. With the 2" pulley, at the 350 position, it sews at about 3 stitches per second. If the motor won't slow down at the lower settings, it may be defective.

Thanks for the advice! It looks like I have a 3" pulley. I contacted the dealer and I am going to swap it out tomorrow. Hopefully this will make sewing a little easier for me.

Thanks again!

You may also need a one inch shorter v-belt, due to the lesser diameter of the motor pulley. It depends on how your motor is mounted, whether the old belt can be tightened enough with the adjuster bolt..

I'm taking the belt and the pulley to the dealer so they can swap both out.

Thanks again for your help!
