I looked at the specs and they list maximum thread as 277 but the needle range is 20-24. I think a 277 thread needs a 25-28 needle, doesn't it?

I use a #25 needle when I sew with #277 thread. A #24 needle pokes a hole that's too tight, unless the bottom thread is smaller.

Interesting. They call this a Cowbow CB6500 medium to heavy sewing machine. It looks exactly like a Juki LS-1341. That binder is not synchronized, just bolted to a metal plate. I looked at the specs and they list maximum thread as 277 but the needle range is 20-24. I think a 277 thread needs a 25-28 needle, doesn't it? I don't have any personal experience in this range of thread. It must be fairly new as Cowboysew posted the video 3 days ago. Maybe one of the Cowboy dealers can comment here.

May I ask, what is the advantage of a “synchronized” binder?? I assume there is a difference between that and one isn’t synched?

NEVERMIND! I looked it up and found the answer... I couldn’t figure out how to delete  my previous question though.

Would be nice to post your findings hear so others can see without having to go research it too.  Kind of helps fill out this thread.

I wanted to respond to this thread because while looking for a binder for my juki 1341 this thread came up. Aparently the actual juki brand binder kit is no longer made. I found "KHSew" moving arm on ebay, and after ordering found i needed more parts. Youd need the "kh869" arm which comes with a post for the 1341(the arm is for an adler 869 OR juki 1341), as well as the 1341 specific needle plate, feed dog (the moving arm has a pin that inserts into this feed dog which is what makes the arm synchronize to the foot), and their binding foot (i had a random ebay binding foot that happens to work and was 20$). 

 

I purchased all the pieces on ebay from a couple different sellers.

They also make a fixed bracket that swings away but isnt syncronized
