Members DrmCa Posted January 17, 2022 Members Report Posted January 17, 2022 It just occurred to me that in the past I had turned an adapter to put a winder shaft in line with a domestic motor shaft, so that it can be pedal-driven. It worked for a while until I got a spare machine. If only I could remember where I stored it...

That's the kind of winder I've been looking at on Amazon (Canada). That ebay one is plus (quite high) shipping to Canada, making it about the same price as from Amazon. And with Amazon Prime I get free delivery plus the ability to return it hassle free. I haven't pulled the plug on it yet but I'm tempted.

And I DO have a spare brand new servo motor I could use. I'm sure I could buy that kind of winder from someone like Techsew (local to me) but one of the considerations for me is space and weight of the finished unit. I'm really tight on space and something like you made would be much harder to find a place for. But I'm sure it would give a better result. The other small stand-alone winders (like the one linked to above) could be put away in a drawer when not in use. My sewing "toys" have already taken up 1.5 guest rooms and my latest Sailrite LSZ-1 with folding table is in my living room. Good thing I don't have a wife. (I guess that's good AND bad.

I bought an industrial table winder from Techsew, I think it was only $20 CDN. It basically works, but it's poorly made. The axle hole in the pulley is drilled off-centre, which makes the bobbin wobble side to side, like a bike wheel that's out of true. It winds a bobbin though, so I guess I can't complain for the price. Quote

It's a perfect design, IMO. If it feels too slow for anyone, the motor can be replaced with one from a vacuum cleaner with or without a thyristor speed controller: Quote Machines: Mitsubishi DB-130 single needle, Kansai Special RX-9803/UTC coverstitch, Union Special 56300F chainstitch, Pfaff 335-17 cylinder arm walking foot, Bonis Type A fur machine, Huji 43-6 patcher, Singer 99 hand cranked, Juki DDL-553 single needle (for sale)
