Members NMcCool Posted March 10, 2017 Members Report Posted March 10, 2017 Have you explored going to a smaller drive pulley on the (clutch or servo) motor? I may have missed a post that says you did, sorry. This will reduce the input to the sewing machine's pulley, and slow it down. Try the calculator on bricklayer.com, it will help a lot. Personally, I dropped down to a 1 7/8 inch pulley on my clutch motor, and RPM dropped to the 820 range. To finish the job, bought a "router speed control", plugged it inline, and with it bottomed out, I can sew on my Adler slow enough to count the stitches. Counting the new pulley, belt, and speed control, I have just under 60 bucks invested. Note-the speed control will NOT work on any motor that has capacitors. FYI Quote
