Members SolarLeatherMachines Posted February 21, 2017 Members Report Posted February 21, 2017 The nice thing about this machine, and I'm sure others will agree is that most of the parts can be machined on a standard mill. I didn't pick it up to re-sell, because I don't normally handle used machines (no, really, I don't sell used machines). I picked it up because it's an engineer's dream: it's got cams, and springs, and levers and it's like something out of a '40's textbook, and I wanted to learn about it. The previous owner though it was completely rusted. Turns out, he had been using heavily waxed thread, and the machine was covered in wax that looked like rust. Once I hot dipped everything, it came out looking awesome. I think foot lift was about 1" and it's a true square stitcher. If you go to my facebook page and check out the videos, I took a video about halfway through the refurb and another when it was completed and sewing. https://www.facebook.com/SolarLeather/ Just search through the videos and you'll find them.
