MAKING PARTS FOR OUR TOOLS... JUKI 441 LIFT HANDLE EXTENSION

[Louiesdad]

I looked over what was available to use as a presser foot lift handle,  when the pro KwokHing guides were installed on a Juki TSC 441U (prob work with clones too) and decided to design and make a prototype.

It is made to better than OEM specs using all the existing OEM parts, metric threading fasteners, and tooling.

 

Looks right at home by just changing over the parts (set screws and handle) and installing on the machine.

Everything is hung parallel and aligned with the rest of OEM equipment.

 

I am having the cnc program written for making these, if anyone is interested in them.

 

Solid all steel, no moving parts, Juki  OEM parts swap into new location holes. Takes maybe max 2 mins to install....

Looks good and well done. Post a price here when you get that sorted. Are you working on a narrower needle plate slot as well? just wondering as you have that off and it is one thing that makes these machines WAAAAY more versatile than the original. With a ground down thinner feed dog of course.

Already done by another vendor, great products, excellent pricing, and fast shipping also.

Trying to get them to make smooth face feed dogs or I might try modifying current offering to smooth, using Devcon Titanium.

Just a bump for this.  I'd love to buy one!

LW member UWE once sold similar ones but seems to be out of stock atm. His version did not come in contact with drop down guide.
