Hello last resort of the free internet.
I had to sew some stoff for my basement and realized it is a real (marksmen?-)ship. It is more complicated then cutting wood for some furniture.
Anyhow, I want to enlarge my machine’s sewing step. That is, I want it to be able to sew more than five milimeters with one step. Maybe I should add a motor with more then 90 W (current Motor), but can this archived with gearing?
I do not care for sewing steps beyond <2 mm. Though my clutch allows any step-width fluidly. I am capable of deconstruct the machine and weld anything to it what is required. And make it in weight.
But my issue is figuring out what change would enlarge the step-width.
Even if your suggestion would change my settings, let me know your idea please.
Some pictures of the Internals:
(when issuing my hand down, the gearing enlarges into the direction of the arrow. But there is a ?Bobbing? on the left side. Imo this should be dependend on a rotation so I can enlarge the leverage nonetheless)
I would appreciate any tip!
I try to be in the middle of my own opinion and beeing inclusive. Sorry for stepping ppl on the toes!
My sewing expert tells me the slider on the right side the front of the machine controls the stitch length and should be all the way down to set it to maximum. The knobs on the top control zig zag and should probably be all the way left for a straight stitch. If that doesn’t get what you want this machine probably can’t do it.
As far as what it is: that’s a good mystery. It looks like one of machines to come out of the post-WWII Japanese industry. If so, getting info on it will be a challenge.
Re-engineering it sounds like a fun project but who can say how long that will take you before you’re back on your project. You could probably stitch whatever by hand in less time than it would take to disassemble that machine, fabricate a new part and reassemble it
Thank you very much. You have correctly deduced the sliders, yepp.
Re-engineering would indeed be a fun project and that’s why I was asking for advice.
Stitching by hand didn’t even cross my mind so thank you for thinking out of the box! :)
