Mitsubishi CU865 parts help

[kinger79]

Hi all,  I have a couple of questions about getting parts for my Mitsubishi CU865.  This is a machine that was sewing heavy felt filters before I got it and I am still trying to get it tuned to do an acceptable job with leather.  If my research is correct, these are really designed more as a binding machine, so the bottom feed dog only goes back and forth?  I really like the machine, though it was not my first choice, the price was right, it was local, and it has a programable servo and eps (which were on my "must have" list).  My biggest issue right now is that the bottom feed dog has really aggressive teeth and it leaves tracks that are unacceptable for me.  I understand that any machine will leave some tracks, but these leave actual teeth marks.  I am looking for a smooth feed dog or a hack to reduce the marking.  I have already loosened the presser foot tensions as much as I can. 

 

From what I can gather, this machine is very similar to a Pfaff 335 or some of the older necchi machines.  I am having trouble finding parts for this model of machine.  Will the pfaff 335 parts interchange for the most part, or is there a good source to get Mitsubishi parts in the US?  Any help or tips are much appreciated!

 

Thanks

Andrew

Specifically a thread guide for the top.  the knurled for the thread take up spring, and a new feed dog.  In general though they are kind of tough to locate mitsu parts for.

As far as I know, the "old casting" Pfaff 335 feed dogs and needle plates interchange with the CU-865....they are all over Ebay etc. You need to know if your's  has the parts for the synchro binder or the regular feed setup. The presser feet are the ubiquitous Singer 111W type walking foot style. Zillions. My upper thread guide is factory stock but looks different than the one in the parts books....mine is a simple straight rod with the typical 90 degree offset holes for the thread to pass through....just a short section of threads on the lower end secured with a jam nut. The knurled nut.....ummm...here's the thread control ass'by.  Maybe pick a number?

I have the same machine and where do you find parts for it like a new roating hook?

eBay is one source. There is a small bobbin version of the CU-865 and also a larger one that uses an M bobbin. On the model plate under CU-865 it should have a 12 or 22. 12 is the small bobbin version, 22 is the larger. If you need Koban or Hirose hook part numbers to help with your search, let me know.

Hola a todos, estoy tratando de conseguir todos los complementos que pueda para mi Mitsubishi CU865. ¿Alguien sabe cómo se llama esta pieza que hace tope para que la costura quede paralela al borde? Gracias.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get as many add-ons as I can for my Mitsubishi CU865. Does anyone know what this piece is called that stops so that the seam is parallel to the edge? Thank you.

@NolyGil; Ese dispositivo se llama "guía de borde".

In English: That device is called an "edge guide."

Da nada!

La mayoría de las guías de borde tienen rodillos que corren contra el borde del trabajo. El rodillo le permite moverse sin ser arrastrado hacia atrás por la fricción contra una simple pieza de acero.

Qué buena idea, no lo había pensado. La verdad es que siempre he cosido a pulso, pero reconozco que con ese complemento me facilitaría bastantes labores.

Estoy de acuerdo. Normalmente uso una guía de borde desplegable en mi grapadora pesada Cowboy cuando necesito coser a lo largo de los bordes de un proyecto. Si está en el camino en las curvas, lo levanto hasta que esa área haya pasado, luego lo dejo caer según sea necesario.

Uy sí, las curvas hay que hacerlas con cuidado para que queden bonitas.
