We are all here to help. So take it and with a bit of homework and hunting its a sure path. Was for me The machine number models with there letter designations are a real key. In the juki 15 series the side loader is to me very nice to operate and perfectly adequate for your task materials. For the heavier duty task the 1508n is available at a bit more money im sure 500.00 and likely more. This model is said to have more torque than the 41. Though I personaly think its if the need is required, thick seams and many of these obstacles ( consistently ) then yes, imho. In still a heavier duty machine the 1508NH stands alone with a bit more design. You must know by now this model comes with even higher price. In further discussion it needs asking if a pulley speed reduction unit will be needed. And so if leather projects are in the mix it is the slow speed availability that is appreciated. So an actual key point to discuss, of course project dependent. Good day Floyd I am leaning towards 1508, what are the main differences between the 1508’s and 1541? Quote

Members brmax Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 When I get a small shop on one of the tropical islands, I will have to have an 867 long arm. Quote
Members AdamPCain Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 It's a hard decision to make when your putting down a couple grand or so on a machine, I have finally picked a machine out with the help of this forum. But on my own I have read and watched just about every you tube video on industrial machines. I was looking at the same machines and decided on the Juki 1541s, planning on buying it the end of the week. When you chose one let us know what one your going with. Quote
Members Rustic Posted January 30, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 867 or 1508... pros and cons?? Quote
Members Rustic Posted January 30, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 I found an almost new Juki 1508 no letters on the label??? Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 30, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted January 30, 2018 You'll be annoying folk bumping this every hour or so. We don't live on the forum. The machine specialists might visit only once a week or even less often Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Tejas Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Many of your questions might be answered by searching the forums. I think searching via google is more productive. For example in google type: juki 1508 vs 1541 site:leatherworker.net Edited January 30, 2018 by Tejas Quote
