They have forced oil pumps sitting in an oil pan that has a gasket. Scary shit the first time you see them in action. Definitely not for crafters. Yes, don't need anymore of those.. the one I have for carpet base can run up to 60' a minute..I've got it set up to about 3/4 that amount.. had it for 20 years ..no problems.. I still laugh every time I use it.. thinking hope that needle don't get deflected and hit something it ain't supposed too!! Here's a short video on a NC ..union special basically..I got bonds version..same thing.. in the video..they probably running about 40' feet a minute... Same set up as mine it looks like.. believe it or not I think they have a newer model they just came out with and is 75-80' per minute..lol Quote

mikesc Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 Something very similar ( machine with that feed system ) was mentioned in another thread here a few days ago. Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )
