Uwe Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Before you turn the post around, consider one of the key differences between the two post orientations. Imagine sewing the bottom of a stiff cylindrical workpiece. With the current orientation of the post (hook to left of needle) you sew in a clockwise direction and the size of the workpiece you can sew is limited only by the size of the room that the machine is in. With the post rotated 180˚ (hook to the right of needle) you sew the same seam in a counter-clockwise direction, but then the size of the workpiece is limited by the distance between the post and the column of the machine.

Members miker Posted April 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted April 13, 2018 You are right! I guess i only have to get used to this orientation. Anyway i will make the question just for the knowledge! Quote

Members miker Posted May 18, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 18, 2018 Back again! Does anyone have the service manual available on pdf? Quote
Members Michiel Posted May 18, 2018 Members Report Posted May 18, 2018 Its called manual but its more than that.... Quote
Members Michiel Posted May 18, 2018 Members Report Posted May 18, 2018 And Here is the link to all the old adler manuals http://sew24.blogspot.nl/p/downloads.html Quote
Members miker Posted May 19, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks Michiel but I can't see any link on your first post! The second link ( http://sew24.blogspot.nl/p/downloads.html ) it's spare part's list and user's manual! I need the service manual. Quote
Members Michiel Posted May 19, 2018 Members Report Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Did you try the "user manual" for the adler 68 ? (From the second link) it is called user manual but it contains all lot of service information which you normaly find in a service manual (timing , adjusting feeddogs , hook etc) i just used it this evening for my adler postbed (put a new hook in it and had to shift the post to get the distance between the needle and the hook right) regards, michiel Edited May 19, 2018 by Michiel Quote
Members miker Posted May 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2018 Michiel i found it!Not exactly what i am looking for! It's in German and not my machine's class. But thank you anyway! Quote
Members miker Posted April 26, 2019 Author Members Report Posted April 26, 2019 One question! I think my machine needs timing! I'll explain myself. When the needle bar start penetrating the leather it still moves forward for a while. I thought that when the needle touch the leather sould be at its most forward position! Am i right? Tomorrow i'll make a video also Quote
