Singer 133K - Information Wanted

[Albannach]

Thanks a lot Constabulary for the updated link, it was just what I was looking for. It's nice to have the manual for my singer 133k10 now as in the near future I want to learn how to use it.

Was a busy sewing machine weekend - I`m finally done with my 133K3 setup.

Got the Jack servo motor last weeks and puzzled everything together now. I will add smaller 40mm pulleys to my motors but its working well already. The 133K goes through 12mm stiff webbing but it needs some speed but it works!

The 2 machines under the table can be switched with the 2 mounted machines. But I have to make a small frame for the 29K73 so I can use the same wing screws to mount it on the table.

How could i make the same to a 133k8 i´m interested right now? Could you say what tools did you use as well the mechanical restoration you did?

Also could you inform how it is to work with this machine ( what type of projects do you sew with it, the lenght of the stitch, etc).

Is it easy to find spare parts to this machine, and does it cause too muchh trouble?

I have been sewing webbing with it but I replaced the machine with a Singer 45D91. I usually have sewn with 4-6mm stitch length. Regarding tools - well it basically was a couple of screw drivers. I cleaned the internal mechanics with paint thinner. Spare parts you find galore at College Sewing in the UK:

Seiko SK-2 and Mitsubishi DY253 are similar and share a lot of parts.

Mechanically... well I replaced a few parts like check spring, bobbin case retainer spring and feed dog the rest was cleaning, painting and needle / hook timing and smaller adjustments here and there.

If you want to restore your machine please open a new thread for it.

Check this thread there is a manual for the 132K6 flat bed version linked but the needle /hook timing values are the same as for the 133K8 cylinder machine.
