Parrain Report post Posted April 26, 2019 Hi all! I’m in the market for my first industrial machine. I currently use a “Heavy duty” domestic machine to sew chrome tanned bags/purses and hand sew journal covers, pouches and phone holsters from 6/7 oz veg tan. My short list of machines to this point was the Consew 206, Tandy stitch master and the Sailrite Fabricator. I ran across a used Reliable 4000sw in my area for $800 (about $500 less than the other three). Looking at the specs, it looks like it could be a good fit for what I do, but I can’t seem to find any reviews on this machine. Does anybody have any experience with this machine? If not any opinions? Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted April 26, 2019 I found a Reliable 4000SW walking foot machine listed on Amazon, complete with specs, motor and table, price, questions and answers. It looks to be a pretty standard walking foot machine, meaning it uses thread sizes 69 through 138 and needles from #16 through #23 or perhaps #24. It is definitely not a holster sewing machine, but will sew belts, guitar straps, rifle slings, garments, wallets, backpacks, phone pouches and the like. Other than that, I have no experience with the machine. It is priced similarly to the Consew 206RB-5. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
