I'm building a shed to move things like generator, power washer, etc out if garage so I can fit more in there. Must be up to 15 on tables including 30 inch arm and 7 class, three tables still on the trailer, one 29-4 treadle stand, one 7 class table in storage while I work.on head, and my grandmothers old treadle home machine. Is there a 12 step program for us? Two have been for sale for 5 years, but only advertised on craigslist once 5 years ago Quote
Members myjtp Posted October 21, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 21, 2018 Finally got the thread balanced right and tested it on some veg tan with hard lizard skin glued on top and that machine ate through it like butter! Now I just need to figure out the best edge coating to use and I’ll be off to the races! Quote
Members myjtp Posted October 23, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Just installed a 6” pulley 1/2” Bore from grizzly and it fits perfectly and has two screws which will grip the shaft perfectly. Slows the machine down to the perfect speed for leather IMO. 45mm pulley installed on the servo motor the combo is excellent.

DonInReno Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Nice! The cast iron looks right at home on that machine Quote
Members myjtp Posted October 26, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 26, 2018 Alright finally got the proper length new belt and painted the new pulley to match the badge color of the consew logo background ( yup I’m weird ) now I’m waiting for my edge guide to come in and I’ll be off to the races!

Thread maybe size 42 to 138? You STEALIN again Seriously, I owe ya a beer for NOT telling my wife about any of this.. she LOVES to buy stuff whether I need it or not! Congrats! I have some #25s I bought for mine(206-rb1) to sew biothane. I never could get 206 thread to work on mine, so I use 138 with a 23 needle. Have a hard time sewing with a #22 needle. But my machine has definitely been used hard for 40 years. On 11/4/2018 at 7:07 PM, myjtp said: Just installed an edge guide and man that helps sooo much keeping the leather straight! Oh yeah, edge guide is a god send, especially on long belts. I turn the speed up and mine actually sews better. It will sew very slow, but it prefers fast. Quote
