Singer 45K53

[Evo160K]

Hi Frankqv,

Finding parts for the 45K machines is a challenge for sure. I'm pulling my hair out looking for a right presser foot and other parts for my 45K25.

If you're going to make presser feet, would you want some additional work?

[Frankqv]

If i make a few I will rough out some Blanks for the K53 and finish them as I need them.I'll let you know if I decide to do that.To those that are considerably more Knowledgeable than me,would it be possible to machine a new presser bar,and finish the end to take more common pressers?

[Evo160K]

That's fine. Thanks Frank.

[Frankqv]

That's fine. Thanks Frank.

Won't the pressers from a GA5 fit the K25

[Evo160K]

I don't know. I'll check.

What is a GA5?

Thanks Frank

GA5 is the modern coppie of the 45K. Toledos version is the CB 2500

Attached is the new left Presser I made for the K53,also a pic of the one that came with it. The one that came with it is Bronze,the new one is 6061-T65 Alloy,about twice the tensile. Works like a charm,feeds very well. Also working on a regular presser,just have to machine the needle slot.

and a new needle plate/feed plate is a work in progress
