Members IslandMoose Posted May 10, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 10, 2014 Sorted by moving the hook carrier about a mm away from the needle. This allowed the needle to just clear the hook body. I think the hook has seen a lot of miles, but I tested it this morning and it sews very well. The 21 needle has also solved the problem of the knot on the bottom. Very pleased, thank you. Btw. The servo motor, which is full programmable, is incredible, I have it slowed down to a crawl, and it gas incredible punching power. Now to get sewing. Quote John Tauranga, New Zealand

It's a Powermax, which I'm sure is a locally-branded Chinese motor, but is fantastic, 40 programmable settings, including custom mapping of the pedal response. Quote John Tauranga, New Zealand
Members Constabulary Posted May 10, 2014 Members Report Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) can you run it with and without the positioning sensor? Does it look like this one form the backside? http://www.ebay.com/itm/161293021766 Edited May 10, 2014 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members IslandMoose Posted May 10, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 10, 2014 Yes, I've yet to use the positioning sensor in fact. John Quote John Tauranga, New Zealand
Members Constabulary Posted May 10, 2014 Members Report Posted May 10, 2014 But you have not tried without the sensor, right? Your motor also has 550 Watts? I just contacted the Ebay seller and he replied within 30 minutes and sent the the manual of the motor and told me it is a new model which works with and even without the positioning sensor! I will red it later and see if something is mentioned in there.

Members IslandMoose Posted May 11, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 11, 2014 Sorry, I don't even have the sensor. It was extra and I didn't want it. Here it is set at about 80 spm. Going through some 1/8" leather I use for wrapping oars at the oar locks. Quote John Tauranga, New Zealand
Members Constabulary Posted May 11, 2014 Members Report Posted May 11, 2014 Nice + Slow - I like it! By the way - the thread guide on your needle bar is missing!
