Naidni Report post Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have any suggestions for slowing down a Consew machine. I have reduced the size of the drive pulley as small as is possible. when sewing, the machine seems to lack torque to start, so you require lots of pedal, but then the piece takes off. Once you're sewing it is easy to throttle the machine back to a creep with delicate manipulation of the foot pedal. does anyone make a larger handwheel for these machines. I know sailrite makes one for their machine. It occurred to me to machine a 2 part pulley/disc/donutish sorta thing that could be bolted onto the existing handwheel, but I don't want to reinvent...the wheel!!!! Thanks, brent Edited October 4, 2020 by Naidni Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted October 4, 2020 Why not bolt a speed reducer on it? That and a servo motor should allow you to slow it down to a stitch per second with no loss of torque. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted October 4, 2020 There have been many posts about slowing machines down. Gary is right, the usual method is to fit a servo motor and if that's not enough to add a speed reducer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
