Members Constabulary Posted October 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2014 Some pictures of the manuals. Original 132K and 133K are rare as the hens teeth! For these 3 I have no use so if someone is interested. I´d trade or sell them. Now regarding the feed dogs for the 132K and 133K - I have 2 different statements from dealers - one says the 132K feed dogs DO NOT fit for the 133K and the other says they DO fit. So maybe someone can shed some light on this as I don´t like buying parts "just to try" and then returning them because they don´t fit.

I´m still looking for someone who can answer if the 132K and 133K take the same feed dog or if they have at least the same distance between the 2 screws.

Members Constabulary Posted November 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 19, 2014 small update. I finally have installed a new feed dog as I had some issues with inconstant stitches because of worn off teeth. For the records and those who might care: The original feed dog that came with the 133K3 has part # 98402 I actually found one but it would have cost me £58.05 + shipping (thats about $90 + shipping) so I have ordered a feed dog with parts # 97625 which was just £5. It actually fits BUT the tooth part of the # 97625 is about 2mm flatter. I could probably lift the feeding mechanism but I don´t want to mess with the timing so I just put 2mm Delrin under the new feed dog and grind down the needle plate on the inside a little bit - voila - it works perfect. Nice stitching - perfect feeding - I´m very pleased!

Members VanRhodes Posted November 19, 2014 Members Report Posted November 19, 2014 Very nice! Neat and smooth feeding and nice looking stitches as well! Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 19, 2014 Yes, I like it very much! Next thing will be a "custom" harness foot with short heel I´m planing to make as I sometimes have to sew box tacks close to heavy hardware. Similar to this one: VanRhodes - How is your project going?

Members VanRhodes Posted November 19, 2014 Members Report Posted November 19, 2014 I too have such plans for the presser feet of my machine. Its progressing but slowly, I dont have alot of time to put into it at the moment and I dont have any machines of my own to work with metal wich makes me depending on other people and their busy schedule. But I have been test sewing with it basicly just testing it in different types and thicknesses of webbing and I am happy to say that I have no issue making perfect stitches with #6 cord(415) through 25mm of heavy webbing and I dont think I will have any issues with #8 cord(554) either. I've also been playing with the idea of building an X and Y axis with step-motors for the machine with the help of another friend of mine but thats a project for the future What type of bobbin is used in your 133 btw? Is it one of those very large normal bobbins and not a shuttle? Quote
