I don't know why all you guys go on about speed reducers that can cost big bucks. On both my Durkopp machines I took off the hand wheel and replaced it with a 270mm taperbush pulley. Then changed the pulley on the servo motor to 40mm or as small as you can go and I've got a stitch at a time for around £40 finished. it's the same ratios that you're talking about without the expense and I reckon you'll get more torque and the big pulley is far easier to use than the original handwheel. Thank me later.
I bought the same machine and I can confirm all the points made here are 100% valid. This Durkopp 669 is BY FAR the most versatile and up to date machine you can buy. Compared to competition it is quite affordable, if you buy the ECO version. Worth every penny. Having spent quite some time comparing Jukis, Pfaffs and all the available Chinese knockoffs with 80s technology (list is too long), you cannot go wrong with Durkopp. It has longer arm, more foot lift and sewing capacity than other machines in this sector. It come with adjustable walking foot lift height, dual tension mechanism, lovely built in bobbin winder and massive paddle (came with 2 sizes) for reversing. Everything about it just screams Quality! Not made in China, but in the Czech Republic (where I come from) by a company called Minerva that has been in sewing machine business since 1881. I put together my own table and flat bed attachment (larger than a full size table). For motor I got the Reliable Servo. Not a bad choice, although it does need the speed reducer for the ultimate slow speed control in leather (i got the 3 in 1 installed on top of the table together with the motor, haha!). 3d printed my foot pedal and am using a bicycle bowden system to control the motor. Knee lift is good, would be better if it came out of the front, not the bottom of the machine. Don't buy the machine setup for synchronized binding (I did), because it will not work. Still have to gather strength to chop off a bit of the (expensive Durkopp) walking foot, just to get the binder deep enough to make it sew. Definitely not a machine for ripstop or lighter materials, as it obviously lacks the low tension range and the feed dog holes are quite large. It will pucker and shred your material. If you are willing to tinker with it, you might make it work though. Go to KH Sew for leather feet, binding attachments, guides etc., they are affordable, ship ridiculously fast and quality is decent. Hope this helps someone out! Don't hesitate to go Durkopp, you will not be disappointed! Cheers, Josef
And just today I sewed the first piece on my restored 70 year old harness stitcher. Coincidal timing is coincidal 😂. Thanks for continuous awesome content.
Really awesome. I was just about to buy a sewing machine and the price was intimidating. After watching this video, turns out they offer EVEYTHING you mentioned. I was just smiling as I bought it. Perfect and very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Machine with DC burshed motor - Slightly pressing on the foot pedal usually deactivate the break. The machine can be turned by hand easily after.... (Might not work on all models! )
Admittedly I'm late to this party...But....by far one of the most pleasant, informative ( for me ) videos I've seen...Thank you!!! I plan to retire soon and have been leather working for 4-5 years; I plan to make it a small side gig!! Thank you again!!!
Great video, for the many of us amateur leather crafters that do a lot of hand stitching and always on the fence about getting a sewing machine, there is some great advice here.
This is probably one of the most helpful videos out there when looking into purchasing an industrial machine and not knowing what to look for. thanks 👍
Enjoyed watching this video. Good solid information. Would casually mention (when your pockets are ready) purchasing a skiver, if you are sewing heavy leathers. Also do not be afraid of used machines less expensive than new and with a good tune up work equally as well.
Excellent information, I have 2 industrial sewing machines (cylinder arm), the Golden Whell CS-441 extra heavy duty and the CS-8243, similar to the Cobra Class 4 and 26. With them I can do all kinds of leather work.
I used a couple of lumbner scraps and locking swivel casters I bought from Harbor Freight. All my machines move now. It's easier to clean your work shop and change your area configuration if you add more equipment.
8:30 I put a short led strip on the bottom side of the head above the table. Comfort is an important part of doing things like this. Even a chair can make a difference.
For the brushed motor, you just need to push the pedal a hair to engage the clutch to handspin the wheel. It's not that difficult, maybe just something you never thought about doing. I still have the brush motor on my Juki 441 and it works a charm, I can feed by hand no issue.
@@maryirwinartdesign8235 You don't need to press enough to get close to engage the motor, it's a fine line but easy to find after a few hours of sewing. For clarification, a brushless servo still has issue hand-turning smoothly (any motor will) without engaging the pedal a bit... it's just a bit less tension.
Thank you Ryan... after using that 'mother sewing machine' (😂) for thin leather now I'd like to invest in that cylinder sewing machine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, appreciate it!!!
I have just added to my juki walking foot a wooden handle to crank manually but it is counter clockwise . It works perfect. There is a hole in the flywheel so i inserted a bolt and tight it to a wooden handle. It works perfect bcz i need to make one stitch per second only bcz of expensive leather i use and small piece work on
Would be nice to see video on Adler 669 class machines comparison. Such as pros and cons and defiantly stitch comparison and any problems sewing over humps. Would be a good video a lot of people would watch. Thanks.
Great video In regards to walking foot I would suggest a compound feed or triple feed machine. Meaning it has the regular feed dogs from underneath, the walking foot and needle feed. Needle feed means the needle moves with the material during the walk. The needle is in the down position and pins the layers together.
@@prasand It’s too late!! I already watched and of course now want another one. I really do love mine, but I didn’t know you could add a table attachment to a cylinder arm. That would have been a great choice. Maybe next time.
@@KerriBishman just got a computerized embroidery machine, also want a serger, and now because of this video: an industrial machine for leathercraft ... since I still do leather by hand. The only thing stopping me is the lack of space for the table, lol. 😩
@@prasand Find the space!! It’s worth it 🤣. I was killing my Bernina with light weight leather so I added an industrial machine. I’m amazed how much I use it and the projects I’m doing now that I never would have dreamed of when I started sewing.
Excellent presentation. Great video quality, colours, hues, layout, lighting and editing. Class act. Thank you for steering me in the right direction; thereby preventing me from purchasing the wrong machine!
Good tips but be careful grinding down your feed dog teeth! Inevitably it will change the height of the dog and depending on how much you can adjust the presser foot above, it will cause feeding issues. With th insurgence of leatherwork/shoemaking in the past 5 years I’m unsure why these machine company’s haven’t started making a pre-ground or even rubber coated walking foot, but I learned this lesson the hard way on my Consew 206. Have extra presser feet before you start altering stuff! Adler 669 has been on my wish list for years, may have to spring for it 😅
Thanks for the explanation of a brushless motor! Could not figure out why it was so hard to turn my Juki hand wheel . Although, I did figure out with a “brushed” servo, if you ever so slightly press down on the foot pedal, like 1/8 or less”, it frees the wheel to turn. But it’s UBER sensitive, so that’s a learning curve it itself. I’d rather get a brushless with a needle positioner.
Awesome video! Lot of information that you mast have to know for good starting work. Thank you man! I working on post bed walking foot sewing machine, but I sew caps, not leather. And now I know what I need to improve in my equipment!
Enjoyed watching this video good sound & video quality, however I would like to know that which type of machine would be best for making gloves from fabric such as Jeans, Kevlar, & Leather, which would be helpful to stich the edges of the fingers perfectly.
I have this machine as well. It is fabulous. I machined my own aluminum auxiliary flat table for it that requires two fasteners only. 1 minute table change.
This video is super helpful. I learned a lot from this. Thanks so much for producing a very informative video like this. It helps me to choose the best machine to pursue my bags project. Three thumbs up!! Can you also make a video on how to grind/sanding the pressure foot? I have mine that leaves marks every time I stitch a thick leather.
I prefer the foot lift not the knee lift. I have the techsew 2700 and cobra class 4 both with foot lifts then I have post bed machine with a knee lift and I just greatly prefer pressing the pressure feet up with my foot. (kinda like driving) verses pushing to the side with my knee.
One thing i want to make for my machine is a pedal to do backstitch. Having to let go of my work to push the backstitch lever is a pain. Right foot/leg speed and lift and left foot backstitch.
Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.
Awesome video, I have a question. How do you tell what kind and weight of leather you can sew with your machine. I have sewed 3 layers of hair on cowhide with mine but have been too chicken to try sewing, say a veg tanned bridle leather with it.
Very helpful video! Hope I can justify my latest purchase of a techsew 4800 pro. Already own a juki 1508 which is great for my mainly automotive upholstery but thought I could use the cylinder arm possibly in that also? Not into sewing bags and etc but maybe one day.
@@robthewaywardwoodworker9956 and @Ryan Picard ....same here re the Techsew 2750. But, I opted in December for a slightly used Juki 1541 flatbed due to a huge price difference, like $1200. Wow, I wish I’d just have sucked it up and bought the 2750. Already have found not having the option of the cylinder a pain in the buzunga!
Very good video. I'm new to sewing and I just picked up my first industrial unison walking foot machine with reverse, and I've ordered a brushless servo motor. Have you found that the drop down edge guide ever gets in your way? My machine came with a factory back tack, thread trimmer, F-40 control panel, synchronizer, and a pneumatic presser foot lift. Unfortunately this machine has a 220v three phase AC servo motor and I have not found a way to use this machine on 110v household current. While I'd very much like to keep these features it does not look good and so I ordered a 110v servo motor so that I can run the basic machine. I noticed that you did not mention any of the features that I listed as must have equipment. Is it fair to say these features, while nice additions, don't really have anything to do with getting quality results sewing leather goods or other heavy fabrics?
Hello there Achievements are remarkable. Too bad, I can’t draw inspiration from one of your videos to assemble Chloé’s Darryl bag, so please keep this in mind. Have a good day. Kiss ----> Paris (France)
maybe jackets and moccasins shoes later or the cylinder arm perhaps a machine built for someone who's in a wheelchair that has no leg movement and would like some freedom other than what is given to them that would be a hit as well not saying what's available in the future.
I just obtained a very old Mitsubishi CU865. I cannot find a lot of information about it. What other machine is comparable? Looking for videos and a manual.
I want to buy a sewing machine, my doubts are more than it is common for machines to require adjustments, in these cases what do you do? Do you call a company that maintains your machines? Or do you carry out the updates and repairs yourself?
Can you comment on the Brand of servo brushless motor and it’s power rating? I’ve heard they are all not equal. I did put the same box style in-line speed reducer you show from Toledo Sewing on my Juki 1541. I love it so much! But still don’t have the punch power for say 4 layers of 4-5oz chrome tan at a very slow speed. End up having to use the wheel to get through where seams meet for example.
I learned on industrial sewing machines (Pfaff, Brother...) but you forgot to talk about and put savety covers on the moving parts, straps and gears, under the machine table.⚠
I really need a machine that will sew high quality rodeo chaps, ya know a few layers of leather, including 7-8 ounce. I just can’t afford a cobra class 26 or 4 or anything like that. Been doin leatherwork for 20+ years but use a harness stitch, always have. So these days I’m trying to get a decent machine tbh. Just don’t know what to get

Thank you for such detailed and easy to digest videos. They are helping me so much on my journey!
Thanks for sharing the vital information regarding the brushless DC motor, speed reducer, and drop down edge guide.
Enjoyed watching this video. Good solid information. Would casually mention (when your pockets are ready) purchasing a skiver, if you are sewing heavy leathers. Also do not be afraid of used machines less expensive than new and with a good tune up work equally as well.
not just a walking foot but a compound needle feed. that means walking feet, needle feed and feed dog all working together to feed the material.
yea. walking foot term has changed. The 16-141 I grew up on had a walking foot. Far cry from the newer triple feed or compound feed of today.
One more thing to add is needle positioning system. Good video.
Excellent information, I have 2 industrial sewing machines (cylinder arm), the Golden Whell CS-441 extra heavy duty and the CS-8243, similar to the Cobra Class 4 and 26. With them I can do all kinds of leather work.
