Members b2k Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 Hello gents, I've purchased a Seiko LSC 8b LH1, equipped with a 1400w clutch motor small pulley. The machine was nearly spotless and very carefully mntained, and I'm very satisfied with it so far. Now I'm searching for a pull-down roller guide, but I can't find an online dealer nor I've find it on the official catalog. Anyone knows of a compatible and/or retrofittable guide? I cannot use a magnetic guide since it has a moving plate on the cylinder arm. Also any tips and pitfalls I should be wary of using this machine? Quote http://www.facebook.com/scallywagleather
Members R8R Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 1400w? That's a big clutch motor! KH might have a pull down guide that can be fitted. http://www.khsew.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=273 Quote
Members R8R Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 I'm not recalling what the backside of the casing looks like on those machines. Perhaps drilling and tapping some mounting holes might be in order. KH has a ton of options. Quote
Members dikman Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 More like 1400 rpm maybe? Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members b2k Posted February 8, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 2500 max rpm motor, 1,4kwh of electricity consumption. It was already installed, the machine was to be used for heavy tarps and trailer covers. On the back of the cylinder casing there are two screw holes. I'll look in that's website to see of there is something adaptable, thanks a lot! Quote http://www.facebook.com/scallywagleather
Members AdamPCain Posted February 9, 2018 Members Report Posted February 9, 2018 I bought a pull down guide from ebay for $15 and compared it to the $145 ones and see no differance. Quote
Members R8R Posted February 9, 2018 Members Report Posted February 9, 2018 Could not find a $15 one. But who's counting? https://www.ebay.com/itm/282660057433 Quote

And I thought my 750w servo was pretty good...... That edge guide looks pretty good for $24. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members b2k Posted February 17, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 17, 2018 A Quick update, I've order the edge guide on eBay, but since postage from china could arrive in april I built this contraption to sew a long straight line Works good enough to sew long edges, straps, belts and such Quote http://www.facebook.com/scallywagleather
