Servo For Adler 205-374

[SARK9]

I have had two clutch motors that I came pretty close to leaving installed, since I was THAT CLOSE to really having useful control of the start/stop/velocity. One was almost new, the other was an antique external clutch model.

There is much that is hidden!

I still found my pea-brain is too easily unbalanced by the constant droning noise they all make, and the silence of my brushless servo motors is more conducive to a relaxing immersion in the creative. Oh, and my sewing area is on the second floor, and the damned clutch motors are HEAVY!

You are all missing the obvious!! If you want no noise and total control then get back to treadle power! then you will hear the needle cut the leather each time.

Thankfully, we have options that suit our preferences, goals and skill levels. If one's use of older technology makes them feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi using the force to bend the machine to their will, good for them. Glad they take satisfaction in that and feel good about their skills. For those of us who are new to machine stitching and not interested in becoming a Jedi knight of feathering a clutch motor, we are very glad easier (better?) options are there to help us.

Yeah, treadle is something I'd like to check out more seriously. I keep waiting to find an old 31-15 treadle powerstand I can "upgrade" on CL for giveaway prices....around here, even the very occasional rusted-out Singer 29-4 is assumed to be made of solid silver or something, to the extent that I just ordered a new Consew 29B out of sheer frustration.
