Guest Hewittknives Report post Posted May 27, 2020 Hi an Adler model 31-10(? Or so I was told) can’t find info on it looks similar to the 31-70 ; came up for sale . I was wondering if that’d be a good machine for sheath work on knives? Thanks any input would be helpful. I’ve had some experience with the cobra series 4 I know how versatile it is and was wondering if anyone knew about the Adler mentioned herein, is it comparable in terms of 7/8 sewing ,adj stitch length thread n needle capacity and are parts available type of stuff etc etc etc ? Not knowing thanks for any info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted May 27, 2020 The one you are interested in is the Adler 30-10. It is a long arm boot patcher with a very small bobbin. I have a related machine: the Adler 30-7 that has a larger bobbin. These machines are for light duty patching and repairing jobs. Most users thread them with #69 or #92 bonded nylon thread. They max out at about 5/16 inch and are not a good machine for sheathes or holsters. Worst of all, they are top feed only and there are deep teeth on the foot.
