CB4500 Dog Feed

[aldous99]

Has anyone changed out the dog feed on the CB4500, only, I have a Binding attachment coming from KHsew and it required changing the dog feed and throat plate, just didn't know how difficult this would be?

All help and advice appreciated

To remove the feed dog, unscrew the two screws holding the shuttle race to the arm, being careful to not lose them or the coil springs on them. Pull the race out with the bobbin case, ensuring that it doesn't fall to the base of the pedestal and get broken. You will now have a direct path to the large screw holding the feed dog in place. Unscrew it and pull out the dog. Now, install the new feed dog and secure it lightly with the big screw. Set the raised height on the dog and lock it down. Then reinstall the race cover and bobbin case. Make sure you leave about 1 turn clearance on the race mounting screws so the springs can let the race float a bit.

If you don't get a special feed dog with the attachment, use the spare blanket feed dog that shipped with the CB4500. That dog has teeth.

The kwan Hing raised feed dog/needle plate fit pretty smooth easy, was really nothing that was off on fit and finish . Their feed dog change-out was just like any other feed dog on that model machine .

You don’t really have to remove the race/shuttle in order to remove or replace the feed dog. This video shows how to remove/replace the feed dog starting at the 1:25 mark (ignore the remainder of the video, it was a private demo video for a potential customer). It’s not really that hard to do. With a little practice it should take less than five minutes to swap out feed dog and throat plate,.
