Singer Drums Removal and Cleaning ~ Part 2

Part 2 of Here I am taking the carriage from the Studio SK326, removing the cover and taking the drums off to clean under them. If you were to replace them, you would do the same except for cleaning of the drums themselves.

Both Part 1 and Part 2 have been invaluable in fixing a damaged main drum on my Grandmother’s Knitmaster. These videos made the replacement of the drum so much easier for me to complete. Despite it being a different make/model so much of this was applicable and useful. Thank you so much Roberta!

I had to review it for a machine with drums as I had forgotten how to do so, some of it I remembered but there were a few steps I missed. But I was so happy to have them for others.

Wonderfully clear video! I used your this technique to free up the drums on my singer which moves much more freely now.

[@RobertaRoseMeads]

Fantastic! That is one reason I prefer the singer type machines, to me it is easier to get the carriage working.

Thanks for posting this, I will try this on my sk155. I love that machine, I just need to get the punch card working again.

I am glad this will help you as well, the one I did this for, she already got her singer carriage cleaned up and working. I am also glad that I like to take things apart, was a little nervous at first but then I figured that if I couldn't get it back working, I would be looking for another carriage but my SK326 is singing again like she was new. Keep an eye out for other videos that I will use her as well.

Hello Roberta,thank you for your video.I buy à Silver Reed SK260 and the carriage was very hard to move,I see that one of the drums was blocked.I clean it with your help,oil it and it turn well,but when I want to move the carriage on the bed,it is always hard To move I don't know why,I need one more time your help,do you know why it is so hard,thanks

[@RobertaRoseMeads]

Nathalie Letellier I am not sure but maybe the drums are not lined up correctly? Or maybe the carriage is not sitting on the bed just right? These are only guesses, I have repaired most of my machines but I have also sent some out for someone else to do it that has all the right tools and knows the correct measurements.

I forgot to say that the carriage is hard to move without yarn
