Installing speed reducer on Friday Hope it goes well

[Gregspitz]

With help from Techsew Ron Mike and Eric (very patient thank you!) and my friend Harold the carpenter we

moved the legs, shifted the motor, enlarged the belt slot, installed the reducer pulley...

blah blah blah and reassembled it all . Took from 9am until I was sewing at 5PM.....overall I learned a lot and it completely changed the machine. torque and precision for what I do mostly is making watch straps

changed the servo motor circuit board to accomodate the needle positioning with the reducer...I NOW have the machine that I dreamed of! Smooth Smooth and plunges through the leather precisely.

If and when you do this take your time, measure a lot and buy several belts of different sizes around what you think you need. I made a couple trips to the auto parts store and finally a 36 inch V belt fit perfect.

I have the NP motor set to stop in the down position. my favorite part is when I hit the heel of the foot pedal and it GLIDES out of the material and stops. This is not a slow motion video this is real time.
