Consew 226

Gents, I have the chance to pickup a consew It is as near as I can tell an older machine. Needs some cosmetic cleanup. Is this of any use for leather. It looks a lot like a to me. Not sure it would work but I have it. I have no use for a blind stitch bt couldn't pass up a table and a motor at that price. Thanks for any thoughts Ross. Ok gang here is what I picked up. IT needs cleaned up and is missing part of the foot. I am betting as I go over I will find more things it needs. I couldn't pass it up for that kind of money. I welcome opinions and Bob do you sell parts?

By krista , February 8, in Leather Sewing Machines. The RB-1 is alittle newer machine with a different handwheel stamped steel the RB should have a cast iron wheel the look similar to the old Singer w machines. Maybe the R stands for Reverse. This Singer machines lacked reverse, except for one sub-class Consew , R, R-1, R-2 has three different casting frames. The oldest has an 'old style' reverse that dates back the the '60s, one of the first Seiko Mfg. This very popular machine was discontinued and replaced by Consew with the new current Consew RB

I did some searching but didn't find much in the way to answer my questions. If this has been answered many times before, please feel free to point me to the relevant thread. So, I pulled up the PDF manual on the Consew machine I just bought and was reading over the needle and thread sizes that are recommended. All of my machines in the past worked fine with domestic all purpose thread, but I know that won't be true in this case.

Just remember it's like a cars clutch, on or off. Yes, the servo motor has a speed adjustment but the problem is, when the speed is set for 'low' all the torque goes away and the motor hums without turning. Joined: May 29, Posts: 9, Profile Page.

Posted February 20, I welcome opinions and Bob do you sell parts? Thats awesome and congratulations. Customer Ratings. As they wear they become more difficult to control, especially at low speeds. If it is so hard as to trip the clutch, then you have a seized part. I had one of those machines. Bob, It needs work mostly cleanup and cosmetic and then I will see what I really got but that kinda price I just had too. Clutch style machines are pretty hard to deal with for a beginner.
