If it’s a servo motor there is a switch on it to slow the speed. They do make needle positioning servos where you can really adjust the speed and do just one stitch at a time. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I’m an upholsterer. I would suggest looking on Craigslist, or a local shop and buy an used industrial walking foot with reverse. If you can splurge I would get a servo motor with a needle positioner, it will be easier for a beginner. Although I did learn with a clutch motor it takes a while to...

I did a set of seats for a small plane. Everything that was used had the burn certificate.

I use Kai shears if it’s a thin foam, over half an inch I use a foam saw. I think you can also use a hot wire on the Eva foam.

Just get some bondo and fill the holes, then repaint

I built one out of 2x4’s cheap and easy.

I have the master appliance. I use it a lot at work and it is great. make sure you run the fan to cool it down for a minute or 2 after using it.

yup, I also do add pump saver to it as well so the pump doesn't stick.

thanks for the info on the pump. i'll probably score the pump and motor. we tried opening the inspection holes but they are rusted shut. my dad has been kind of worried about the tanks age and condition. he just bought a new IR 2 stage 80 gallon. we believe the tank to be around 30 years old and...

My dad has a compressor he's trying to get a little info about. We believe it is a 60 gallon tank. Does any one know the pressure and cfm of this pump and the tanks max pressure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
