So I'm brand new to industrial machines and I got myself a Juki LU-562 with an old clutch motor and table for $450CAD. I'm having some doubts at this point if I got a good deal or not but figured it's mine now so I may as well make it as good as I can! It's built like a tank so hoping that means it's going to last me a long time. I also ordered a servo motor to slow it down and make it quieter.

My question here is does anyone have any good links on adjusting/servicing an industrial machine and also any good videos or tutorials for getting started with using one of these or even just any general advice for a newbie? Any good websites for getting parts for industrial machines? (It's missing the belt and the needle clamp)

Thanks for any advice :)

I made an adjustment video for the Juki 563 class a while ago. Your Juki 562 has a smaller bobbin, but is otherwise nearly identical. It may be a good starting point for your machine.

 

 

My Consew 225 hook timing video is also a good starting point to understand what's going on.

Hey, I just purchased a 563 too!  I am in process of building a custom table, adding a new servo motor, led lighting, and ton 'o' storage!  My current hurdle is finding a cutout pattern for the table top.  I can wing it, but I would hate to demo the table top by accident!  For similar builds I have created a mock up using cardboard, then transferred that to a scrape piece of wood, and then finally on to the final wood for cutout ... measuring and double checking 25 times or more!  :huh: lots of prep, trial and error ... so an actual pattern would be an incredible time saver!

Sends us some pictures once you have the original parts back in.  Make sure they are close ups.  This will tell us a lot and then we can make specific suggestions to you and how to fix it.
