How-To Video On Timing The Hook On A Consew 225 / Singer 111W155 Class Machine

[art23]

Very nice videos. I just got a 226. Just wondering if you have the model # for the hirose hook. Also what else does hirose have for these consew machines 225-226? Anyone know?

The Hirose part number for the hook is HSH-11-55. Not sure if Hirose makes anything other than hooks. The Hirose PDF Catalog has the full list of hooks they make. The catalog also has some interesting general hook related information in the back about oiling schemes and adjustment guidelines.

This something I have been searching for. This will give many folks the heads up and insight they need to get a handle on the machine they own, You have done a very good job and I myself am very grateful. Many thanks.

Hey it's been a long time........ sewing got put aside when the fair weather returned last Spring.....Winter is here and time for indoor sewing activities.

This is more of a follow up and a BIG thank you for all the help you all have provided me..... the videos were worth a thousand words.

My 211G156 is now sewing very well....... had to get a few parts BUT the information on the tuning/timing was priceless.  I have installed a used 1750 RPM motor but it is still too fast for my skill level and for doing small stitching such as leather/canvas straps on truck cargo cover.

Still cruising the forum for information .....silently as I have a steeeeep learning curve.

I am a member on other forum sites and they have provision for donations to help with the admin/operation of the web site....... do we have such a process???

Next step is building/installing a jack shaft speed reducer and possibly a servo...... may seem like wearing suspenders and belt.....but I would rather be slow and high on the torque band and better quality.

Cheers

Yes we do take donations! There is a section on the home page labeled Support this forum (in the right sidebar). It offers three levels of donation amounts and defaults to PayPal.

As for your clutch motor, you can back off the big bolt on the right/front side of the casing. It positions the brake pad vs the clutch. Giving it more slack makes it easier to learn to feather the clutch. There is also a spring adjustment on the control arm that can be played with. It can be set to just barely pull the lever up, or pull it up hard. Make sure you don't tighten it so much that the clutch won't fully engage.

You might want to start a new topic that deals with controlling clutch motors, as this topic was about timing machines.
