joeyrsmith Report post Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Very nice. Gives me ideas now. Just got a Singer 211g setup with a 1.75 pulley and its still too fast. Might steal your setup if ya dont mind Any tips or tricks with it? Thx Joe Edited January 11, 2014 by joeyrsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcox Report post Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) There is a simpler way. Edited January 11, 2014 by pcox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyrsmith Report post Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Cool, pcox, my man---who has helped me like a Pope helping a sinner!!! I know, I know some Popes are better than other Popes! I mean a great Pope helping a bad sinner. Are you using a small pulley on the motor like I have or something bigger? I got the machine with a 3.5in pulley. Thx Joey Edited January 11, 2014 by joeyrsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdthayer Report post Posted January 11, 2014 Good ideas jkbuzzbee and pcox. I’m sure there are a lot of us out here with older machines that need to be slowed down a little bit. I like the factory-built speed reducer on my Consew 225 (that I just got rigged up) well enough that now I’m starting to think about what I can do with my Singers 111W153 and 111G156 to tame them down a little. I don’t have another factory-built speed reducer, so thanks for the suggestions. CD in Oklahoma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyrsmith Report post Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Ok guys, help me out here a little. I see pcox has what looks like the original wheel with the stitch markings on it. My 211g has only one hub/wheel with stitch marks and belt channel. So my whole wheel would have to come off, ??? on how to regulate my stitch length has me a little baffled. Ideas on that would be great. Thx Joe Think I kinda figured it out. As long as there is something attached to the drive shaft, I can lock the hook shaft below with deck button and operate as usual.

jkbuzbee Report post Posted January 11, 2014 Joey you lost me on this one lol I know the reducer I have works well but now that I change my needle and thread to a 22/138 now I'm having trouble with my bobbin thread I can't get it to pull up thru the bottom I might have my needle in wrong I'll play around with it some more tonight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeyrsmith Report post Posted January 11, 2014 jkbuzbee, I am going on pcox's reply with the larger handwheel earlier in your thread. I have figured out how to do yours. Hardware store here in the Fl Keys has the parts. Dont have many stores down here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcox Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Hope these pics help. I pulled the pulley/hub off the shaft and turned the pulley hub down to 1 inch in my lathe then filed a flat for the set screw on the 6 inch pulley. slipped it all back together, fitted a longer belt. Instant happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
