cording foot for a juki 1541?

[Trox]

I checked out their webpage. Very interesting stuff! Lighs, Binders, walking foots. A lot of Item I have never seen somewhere else before. Thanks Trox.

Yes it is great stuff, and prices are too.

I bought very high tech feet's and drop down roller guides for all my machines there. For my Pfaff, Dürkopp Adler and Juki 441 clone.

Those drop down (suspending guides) are very handy, you would wonder how you did without them. They normally sell for 80 to 125 $ on EBay (and other places) if the number starts with KG it is their guides (and KF for feet's).

They take 20 to 25 $ for the suspending guides and 9 to 15 $ for walking feet's.

Their welting feet's are very fine, both outer and inner foot has grooves for the cord. They normally deal with big companies and dealers, however they are happy to serve us end users too.

Send Bosco Ko an email with the foot number and size of the cord, or ask what they have for your machine (they add new stuff all the time and it may not yet be on their site).

They are not used to old machines and do not always know what feet's they uses, however thats not a problem with your machine class. Say hello from me and tell them you found them on LW net, it will benefit us all. If you have special requests, they can make it for you in their production shop.

Good luck

Hey Tor, do you have a picture of you machine with that suspension guide mounted by any chance?

Hi Martin,

yes I do. I posted about two of my guide installations here on this forum, you find the posts underneath. The guide on the Pfaff is in fact the DA (Dürkopp Adler) guide, the same type Juki and DA uses on their machine. (Juki color is black) The type that I installed on my DA machine (square frame) is the best type of guide.

Thanks, I make sure I do not hit anything first, and you can use a stop or a tape on your drill bit to make sure you do not drill to deep. It is "soft" metal and easy to drill in (with the right drill bit). I am about to do the same job on my 441 too. As long as you know what you are doing it is no big deal. If you have not threaded a screw hole before, practice on some scrap metal and do it in the same angle as you have to on the machine. Try to make it as straight as possible (in a 90 degree angle) It is not difficult.
