RockyAussie Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Is it possible to adjust the difference in stitch length to get more equal between forward and reverse on a CB 105? The reverse is a lot shorter than the forward and I doubt spacing out/wedging the front plate would be enough and would come at the cost of a lot of reduction in the forward stitch length by going that way if even possible. Thanks for any help you can give. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
RockyAussie Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Posted July 24, 2021 Its alright I worked it out. I had 4 stitches to the inch going forward and 6 going back before. I now have 3 stitches to the inch forward and 3 going back. The seller had been told by a dealer that it was not possible to adjust and I was bluffed for a bit I guess. Turns out it was a pretty simple adjustment in the end so if you need to know ......let me know and I will put up some pics and instructions.

I did 2 as shown in the attached pdf file. 20 hours ago, Constabulary said: Instructions are always welcome - please share! This file should help I think. I will do a video on it to show the process better.
