Grizz Report post Posted November 12, 2014 We have the opportunity to get a Nakajima Rex 345 2L sewing machine. Does anyone know if it has a walking foot. Also would it be suitable for sewing thick leather. I have seen photos but difficult to see much and i cant find any info online. I would also like to find out the measurement for the arm on the machine. Any help greatfully received. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malpratice Report post Posted November 12 It is a walking foot. I have one that I haven't used yet. What I've read, thin leather at best. That being said, my Singer 111w153 sews through 2 layers of tooling leather without hesitation. Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found only One, 10 year old Vid. of a ( Rex 345-2L ) on YouTube . It really a crappy poor video, but If you go all way to 6:40 in the Vid. . It clearly shows it's a common High shank foot, Bottom-Feed Industrial . - 345-2L - Edited November 13 by nylonRigging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
