Wiz, that's fantastic news....thank you! I ordered a new feed dog and tensioning discs from Bob Saturday. When I get them installed I'll fine tune until I get it right.

Perfect timing, no pun intended??! Sorry, I can't help but squeeze some sewing machine humor in here, it's all I got!

Really, glad to share, and it's a two way street, I learn a lot from folks here on the leatherworker. You can't replace decades of experience using this equipment that many carry with them here. In addition, I learn what speed bumps and obstacles people have getting up and running with their equipment. Folks that don't anticipate a learning curve with a new machine, new operator, etc., well that's just not realistic.

Good day all. Looked up this thread instead of creating a new one. I am looking for a leather sewing machine and I see the consew 206rb recommended from time to time. I have the opportunity to purchase a rb-1 model for roughly $300 although in our local currency it amounts to a bit more.

I have also seen it mentioned that it should be able to sew up to 3/8". My question is can it sew up to that unaltered.? Would this be a good deal? All input appreciated.

Yes that's a good price for the 206rb-1.

If you're sewing up to 3/8" thick (the maximum) you'll want to be using a size 23 or 24 needle and make sure to use a powerful enough motor.

Thank you Ron. I doubt I would ever sew that thick it's simply to have some headroom and not having to push the machine too hard when sewing normally. Will look into getting a servo motor at a later stage probably or doing a gear reduction done if I'm having too much trouble.
