Machine For Sewing Sneaker Midsole?

[Darren Brosowski]

Glad it worked out for you mate. You asked me about the supplier and I could only give my experience so really happy you got the same result.

Hi Joe

I am really interested in purchasing one of these machines. I've been in touch with Robin Industry.

One concern I have, will it fit in the toe area of my shoes. It looks a little large to fit in a lot of sneakers.

I have attached a couple of images with the type of sneaker shape I would be using it for.

Do you think it would work for this type of sneaker?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Andrew

Andrew,

I'm thinking the machine I had would be to large to fit into the toe of that shoe. I wanted it to sew the tongues into skates and it was too much for that job. Check the pic of the business end of the machine and I think you will see what I mean:

Wouldn't a 29K51 be better for that depth ( room to sew ) of toe ? mine has an arm "diameter" ( it isn't a perfect circle, but a sort of "rounded off" square cross section at the bobbin end of 25mm or just a millimetre over and inch )..your Robin looks to be maybe twice as deep( top to bottom ) as that from the needle plate to the underside of the arm ? I'm basing that "guesstimate" on the needle diameter , if the needle is a #20 or so ?

Yea it looks a little on the large size. Apparently Robin Industry can modify the machine. I will send them a sample and see what they come back with. Thanks for your help.

@Hockeymender Also Joe are you able to change the stitch size, length etc?

Yes, that is all adjustable.

It was a occasional opportunity to find this site, and i‘m very surprise that so many people were discussing our company's RC-32-2A sewing machine, and we had to admit that it was not a good machine for workmanship, but the quality is no problems,The reason why we do not accept paypal, because when some customers bought the machine, maybe they will not use or they think it is rough workmanship, so they may choose to paypal complaints, because the machine is very heavy, we can not accept the return, it will case us trouble, so we cann't accept paypal.

Hi Andy, did they ever get back to you about whether it's possible to modify the size of the lower arm to fit into a standard size sneaker?  I know it's been several years since your last input...but wondering what happened with your correspondence/experience with the machine.  I'd like to purchase one for similar purposes, and curious what you discovered on that front.  Any insight would be appreciated!
