Wow!!! Thanks you guys are awesome :) this is so helpful!!!

Firestar1485 that table looks amazing. I want one too now

Uwe that is a great video, thank you for posting it, I'll be using that for sure!

One question about belts, I've only used home machines where the belts are a standard size. Is this the same with industrial where I can just get a standard size or will I need to make some measurements (once I have my servo installed) and then find the right sized belt?

jshep,

You want to use 3L  v-belts.  The length of the belt you will have to determine from machine to motor.  3l belts fit the pulleys on sewing machines very well.  You can get them from Sewing Machine Dealers or from Automotive stores. once you know the size, i.e. 38" or 39" etc.

Anyone know if you can swap the sewing hook assembly of the 562 (small capacity) with that of the 563 (large capacity bobbin)??

Technically yes, but it's not easy and involves a couple of other parts, not just the hook.

In the other thread, Cowboy bob says no, there is machining involved.

You most likely need a compete new hook saddle, hook, bobbin case opener and the casting needs some machining AFAIK. A new used large hook machine would be cheaper I think.

NO,they do not just interchange!You need to either buy the correct hook saddle(the part that holds the hook in) or it needs to be taken out & machined deeper.The large hook is also taller & won't fit in,you also need to change the take up lever,as it's also longer on the 563.

 

One of the problems with posting the same question in three places is it makes it difficult for those who answer the questions to follow whats going on. Having the answer and the question together in one place also helps the next guy searching for the same question

...Sometimes the volunteer experts on here take a few days or a week to get to it. Keep in mind while waiting for a response that around here you get WAY more than you pay for......

One thing I noticed with my machine is it's missing the needle thread guide pin. It looks to be broken right off or like someone cut it off. Will this really mess up my tension? Can I make due without it?
