Thanks for the nice comment. I hope it helps.

I have not played around with bending steel rule yet but it would be an interesting thing to do for sure.

Thanks Steven

That would be a metric 20 or many would call it 138 thread.

Pretty much the same as any other machine except the scarf of the needle goes to right and the thread goes in from the left to right. You can contact me if you like by using the Wild Harry contact link above if you want.

For intricate pattern work on small products such as shoe uppers the lower roller foot is be more ideal. For larger handbag type work the tall post would be better or even a lot of the time necessary. The high post can do either but the type of work you want to do would need to be considered.

@@delafaux8976 So you find your style of work doing bags with thicker leather and what not the high post is most versatile? Thats kind of what I’m gathering. High post can do everything the roller foot can do and more? What is your versatility rating of high post vs your 441/4500 cylinder arm which i also own. Sounds like i will be biting the bullet and paying for high post. Your thoughts? Thanks again?

@@gregthompson8062 to me both CB4500 and the tall post are equally versatile for my needs. The tall post can allow bag designs to be be more quickly and easily made than cylinder machines allow. The short post will not get so close to the edge as can be seen in the circular bag in the video shows and nor can it allow the depth of product as seen in the base of the tote bag shown in this video.

@@delafaux8976 I think i will be pulling the trigger on this 17” inch post machine. How do you find it handles heavier weight material? Have you had any regrets, issues, concerns with its capabilities? Its not the saddle heavy duty capacity of the 441 which i did purchase your edge guide for but do you find this post bed can manage with all you need? Max capacity thread I believe is 138 thread. Thanks again

@@gregthompson8062 I would only class this as a light to medium class machine. I have not had any issues with it but I have not tried going through anything thicker than 3/8" (10mm) or through heavy weight veg leather. The only issue is the small bobbin like most of my older machines have. If you don't have a small cylinder arm machine I would think about that first. The tall post is a great time saver if you do your designs to suit it but the small cylinder arm machine gets to do 70+% of all the work we do at Wild Harry. It depends on Your needs in making the choice.

I believe the leather I used in this was obtained from East Coast Leather in Queensland Australia and the name is Whisky Chopper.

I do not know for certain but I think so.

The true answer is that mistakes = experience. The best tip I can offer is to first determine the thickness of leather to be used for the job then make a strip maybe 20mm wide out of that thickness. I use this strip like a ruler to lay over the product and get an idea of the length that would be required allowing for the stitch line to the curve and the edge to be trimmed. I then do a drawing of the product and then add the leather measurements over the drawing which gives me normally an offset distance to apply to the drawing.

Ahh... yep that would be my right foot on me for the peddle but the left on the back machine foot and with an open toe center foot. Congrats on getting a wonderful machine. Remember to keep something absorbent under the feet when its not in use. This machine oils itself a lot.

Hi Jenn, Good to hear you are now the owner of a CB246. Feel free to call me if I can be of help. There is a contact number above through our Wild Harry store.👋

Yep this machine is over 20 years old now and the old box style speed reducers were a bit noisy that way. The new ones are way quieter.

That may be so, I will give it a try. Which post machine type do you have?

I have never had to but it would be the same process as most other machines I think. Are you having some trouble with one? The needle and thread go the opposite way around to most machines and can catch you out sometimes. Just habit I guess but I still put the thread in the wrong way sometimes.

Glad it helps mate. If your buying in Australia you should get my contact details and just give us a call if you need any help.

@@wildharry3203 Thanks Harry, that is very generous. I found you details on your website. You have some great products there. I am starting to research machine option so if it is Ok with you I will call you as I get a bit more information. Cheers, Will

All good mate, your welcome to come visit if you want to as well.@@willspencer3044

Hello @Matthiasschweizer, I used an Adler 69 quite well for many years for the type of work you mention. They are a good robust type of machine but the bobbin is small and the feed dog does not drop down and reciprocate as the CB 246 does. The CB 246 is a copy of a Juki DSC 246 if that helps. The larger boobin a more reliable feed is worth paying at least 50% more in my opinion but if the price is good and you are just starting its still a pretty good start.

​​@@delafaux8976 Sorry that I'm bugging you on multiple platforms, but I really appreciate the reply

I think the Cowboy CB246 is only called that in Australia. It is a copy of a Juki DSC 246 so perhaps a google search for that may show better results in your country.

This machine is pretty much a copy of the Juki DSL 246. The smaller end cap allows for tighter gusset work and similar stuff. The 1341 is more of a high production machine having self oiling and a few other great features as well. It really depends on the type of work you want to do.

What country are you in? I will try and help.

Way easier to talk on the phone mate. Go to the Wild Harry link you can find above and ask for Brian.

Thanks Nathan, I got a good deal of respect for your work as well.

Thank you

If you contact me through the link above with your email address I will get back with the pricing including postage. Regards Brian

I will try and answer this as best I can on your email message. I may need to take a few pictures first so it could be tomorrow.
