Members MaryLee Posted January 14, 2019 Members Report Posted January 14, 2019 Nice workmanship and very inspiring! I've often thought about making my own table so it is helpful to get an idea of what goes into it - thank you for taking the time to post this video! Quote

Down the road you won't care about the extra shipping. Its a great motor and it's priced well for what it does. Quote
Members katit Posted February 25, 2019 Author Members Report Posted February 25, 2019 It's been 2 month but finally I'm done. Table completed. Leg's sandblasted, primed and painted black. New hardware. Top finished with stain/poly. New thread stand. Home-made aluminum pan. No through holes. I love end result. Time to sew something New sp-1100-NPFL motor. Last thing left is to figure out how to mount needle positioner. Any suggestions? Motor controller supports 24V for knee lift. Correct part was little too much for what I wanted to spend, so I figured how much power I need (about 150nm pull), will see if I can come up with some cheap solenoid. Quote
Members katit Posted February 26, 2019 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2019 All I can say is wow! Thanks Gregg for great motor and assistance! I got controller set to lowest startup speed. I got positioner setup. Now it’s just too easy. Can go as slow as I want and with gentle tap it makes one perfect stitch. 6 layers of auto leather - no problem, plenty of torque. Finished - just heel back and needle goes up. Wonder why do I need handwheel now And because I don’t have to mess with handwheel - my locking stitches now perfect. Now I need to figure out how to make stitch longer/shorter when needed Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted February 26, 2019 Members Report Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) katit, I saw the feed dog on your machine in one of the above pics. I would replace that. Yours is worn out as well as the hole being large and jagged. A new one will improve the feed of the material. Just my two cents. glenn Edited February 26, 2019 by shoepatcher Quote

I just posted in this topic because this is where I asked about positioner. I put PFAFF with new motor on my newly restored table.. Quote
