Members Brazo Posted January 27, 2019 Members Report Posted January 27, 2019 Does anyone know the needle systems used by the Cobra 17 and 18 machines? The Cobra website doesn't say that I can find. Cobra has 135x16 leather needles for sale on their site but don't say which machine(s) they are for. I have a Juki LU-1508N that uses 135x16 and was wondering if the Cobra 17/18 used the same? Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted January 27, 2019 Members Report Posted January 27, 2019 Cobra #17 and #18 should use Needle system 135x17 for round point, 135 x16 leather point. glenn Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted January 27, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted January 27, 2019 It does seem a bit strange that they would list the weight of the machine but not the needle you need. Since they sell them on the site, seems like a link to the needles would take about half a second ... Quote
Uwe Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) The folks a the Leather Machine Company who market the Cobra brand have some odd marketing policy not to make basic information available online. They want you to call them and talk their sales or support people. When you buy one of their machines new or used, you kind of buy into that philosophy. So give them a call - it's what they want.
