chrisash Report post Posted January 31, 2021 I cannot find them on their site or Techsew uk site As far as Google they just don't seem to exist or i am using the wrong search terms Constabulary gave me a lead a while ago with a German site but not sending to UK until brexit postage is sorted Postage from US makes it silly money Seems strange they are so badly sold, there must be a god demand for them in the UK Even Sew Europe does not have them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toxo Report post Posted January 31, 2021 Have you thought about changing the handwheel Chris? Depends on the machine of course but I've done it twice and it works fine and the difference in time and cost is stupendous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted January 31, 2021 You can easily DIY a 1:3 Speed reducer - does not cost too much. 40mm + 120mm Pulley with 15mm bore from College sewing (or a bit cheaper from China via Ebay) some screws 10-15cm long piece of round bar material 2 Pillow block for 15mm shafts little bit of wood from the craps box (if you have one) I made one for my 51w setup as well.

chrisash Report post Posted January 31, 2021 Not sure where i can get a larger handwheel for my singer 111G155 already have a servo Jack which gives a good low speed and a larger handwheel would no doubt be sufficient Like the cost of a do it yourself kit but would prefer a commercial solution if at all possible Many thanks to both of you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It includes the cost and the company is in Kent. You can be up and running in a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
