Hi Contabulary, yes "discreet", but on the Adler you could adjust easier the hitting same holes when backstitching. Like the paper trick on the hitting the same holes in reverse the on 441 clone. (in short, lots of adjusting/ pain in the ..... to solve it doing it by the manual) The "old fashion" look of the Adler system took care of that in a easy way. Anyway, hitting the same holes in reverse is normally not any big problems on bottom feed machines. By the way, you all did a great job restoring that Textima skiver.  Tor    

Hi Tor - well Depends on the point of view A "Singer Dude" (heard there are a few out there ) could argue that the Adler system is "cheating" with the front and back stitch length while the Singer system is more accurate...  My 45D is hitting front and back in the same hole like a dream - no cheating with adjusting limiter screws necessary - If you know what I mean. At the end it does not matter as long as it works. Both systems for sure have their right to exist.

Textima Skiver was a bit a challenge but thats a different story. Excellent engineered machine - fully gear driven, haven´t seen a skiver like this before. First skiver I worked on and seems it is running well again. I was not able to test run it but thats another different story (not telling here since Gigi is watching me )

 Doesn't matter who motorized it, skiving machine it's up and running: you did a great job restoring it!!

I knew I´m observed here... When the skiver is running as expected feel free to post some pictures from that journey but in a new thread then.

@jimi Here is some more images of the machine.

Thank you Johan. looks like we have the same number on the foot but my foot has been altered. therefore the only difference i can see to a 45k1 is the reverse? which later became 45k92? your´s has the same foot as the 92 and now no numbers to be seen on this foot?? looks just like the # 91039 foot for the 45k1.

a bit a different accessories put the machine in a different sub class sometimes - like Singer 29K - just an added wax pot puts it in a different sub class. Same with 45K´s I´d say - the machines may be technically the same but the accessories that originally came with the machine are different. Parts list are an interesting read sometimes...

[jimi]

Yes at least the parts lists are easy to find...

Except for SV's .

[Constabulary]

that´s why they are special

for anyone interested in more S.V. information, in this post above if you look at the older singer book it will show the changes of some of the 45k machines and the models they were superseded by.
