Members Hags Posted October 25, 2019 Members Report Posted October 25, 2019 I have a chance to buy an Adler 205-8. It says can sew up to 1 inch of leather. I am having a hard time finding any real data on this machine. Anybody know anything about these units? Thanks Quote

I am having a hard time finding any real data on this machine. Anybody know anything about these units? Thanks This 205 variant has been discussed on Leatherworker.net and elsewhere in the past. Here are some links to those conversations and a manual. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/19014-adler-205-8-qustions/ User manual from Adler Considering that it has bottom feed only and uses system 214 needles (same as a Singer 45k), I doubt it can sew anywhere near an inch. It's more like 1/2 to 5/8 inch. Quote
