Members jimi Posted May 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 31, 2018 Yeah, i can see that one , thanks. in the parts list 91092-91102 there are the different sizes that was available and probably in those days you could ask them to make you one up for a specific job. but as these machines are so old, if it did not come with your machine then it will be pretty hard to find these feet. that is one thing overlooked with these older machines. just for the normal feet for the 45k21 etc. it is very hard to find original parts like feet needle plates. and when it comes to accessories like binders etc.. then even more difficult. if you look at the parts list for the 45k89 etc.. you will find an array of accessories which were available but seem to be non existent when you ask people about there machines and what came with them. best thing would be to make them up yourself or get a friend to mill some. they do not seem all that complex to make.

Members jimi Posted May 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 31, 2018 your welcome, yes sometimes i overlook things in the posts too..haha. your machine would have been probably furnished with a wax deposit for the thread, that is why i asked if the top tension assembly was present as this was mounted on the wax deposit. also the front foot looks to be different from the ones furnished with these machines but then again i could be wrong. is there any numbers or simanco on it?? as long as it works that is the point. here is a picture of one similar to yours. as you can see the front foot is different. i am not 100% sure but it looks as if it might have been used for setting the stitch under the surface also?? as it is in front of the needle. we will have to wait until an original turns up to find out.

Members singer45k Posted May 31, 2018 Members Report Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) tool nut here with a milling machine and lathe but with marginal machining skills. now that I know what optional feet looks like, it shouldn't be a problem to make one. too bad volume involved would probably never justify production? what I'm finding out is if paw is aligned with needle .. no marks are made even if paw misses prior needle hole. paw simply hits top of thread for top feed with out leaving marks .. still in discovery mode but no marks after changing stitch lengths if paw stay in alignment with needle.

Evo160K Posted May 31, 2018 Report Posted May 31, 2018 Singer45K, If you're planning to make 45K feet and want to do a couple extras, would you please let me know? I've been trying to find them. Quote
Members jimi Posted May 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 31, 2018 Now that was lucky.. haha a tool nut with a mill and lathe. you could do wonders with that lot in your workshop. 1 hour ago, singer45k said: what I'm finding out is if paw is aligned with needle .. no marks are made even if paw misses prior needle hole. that is great that there are no marks left by the foot. as this is the goal with leather. i imagine if it does not fit in the hole and pulls on the thread instead you probably risk getting slipping at one point and possibly some stitches longer than others?? 17 minutes ago, Evo160K said: If you're planning to make 45K feet and want to do a couple extras, would you please let me know?
