Excellent video! Thank you!❤
Thank you for the video. So helpful!
Oh my goodness, my pleasure.
Best!
Great video!
Thanks Jill, appreciate the feedback!
Due to pandemic I have sumerge in sewing and bought a industrial sewing machines,
Recently I had installed a servo motor in my industrial sewing machine but I looked for videos and I didn’t found any with the same type of motor that I installed but watching your video gave a few tips because I’m having trouble with stitch and weird noises that’s making….thank you
Great Sheila! Glad you found something in the video helpful.
You are the best.
Love your videos. Thanks for taking the time. I will be doing the same upgrade for my consew 225. By the way, your dog is diamonds!
Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for checking out the video.
Thank you amazing video
Appreciate the kind comment! Best of luck to you.
For those of you trying to decide which of these motors to get, this is the one. I first got the other more popular one, the Consew. That one is better than a conventional motor but definitely not as good as the one in this vid. Why?
Because the Consew has much more cheesy flimsy mounting bracket, and the control box is way too big and there is no good place to put it next to a lathe; and the commands you have to enter to get it to spin are very tedious and strange and impossible to remember.
The one in this vid has MUCH more straightforward controls, and finally, it is so silent it's amazing. I see they really mix up the names, so let me be explicit: the one to avoid has a separate large control box, the one to get has the control box built onto the motor. The good motor is much longer, the one to avoid is almost square, length equal to diameter.
Thanks for weighing in. I agree with your comments.

Can you provide the details on where to purchase the 45-55 mm pulley and can the same belt that is currently installed be used?
eBay has the pulleys. Just search sewing pulley or industrial sewing pulley. They are about $2 to $3 a piece. You'll need a shorter 3/8" v-belt. Usually a 38" v-belt works well. It might vary a little depending on your machine.

Thanks for video, can you tell me what size pulley you would use for boat heavy canvas ,and what size needle , and brand of thread would be your best choice. Thanks again
Thanks Ray. I prefer a 45mm motor pulley for all medium to heavy weight fabrics and leather. I'd go with a 92 weight thread and a #19 needle. For leather projects I'd jump up to a #20 needle. No preference on thread brand, but I usually buy off eBay. Best to you.
great video - you are a very good teacher. Did you replace your Pfaff 145 motor with a servo as well? I have the same Pfaff as you that I purchased from my mom when she retired. I was wondering if this would be a good change to make on it.
Hi RJ, yes all my machines have servo motors. I don't care for the fast, noisy clutch motors. A machine behaves so much better with a servo, especially if you put a small 45mm pulley on the new motor. You won't believe it's the same machine!

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker thanks! I appreciate the advice!
how do I loosen the tension on the belt, do I move the nuts up the bolt or down the bolt? sorry for the dumb question!
Hi Mary, you want to loosen both nuts so the motor can move freely. Then thread both nuts slightly up the bolt to raise the motor a bit. Raising the motor will loosen the belt, and lowering the motor will tighten the belt. Best to you.
Hi, I was wondering which motor you used in your video? or is there one you would recommend for a consew 225? I welcome your sage advice!
Hi Fred, this is the servo I recommend... amzn.to/3peNvCX
I've used it on a Consew 225 and 226 and they work great. Thanks
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Excellent! Thanks for flash responses!
I purchased just the head of a Consew 206rb-5. I plan to use your servo recommendation, but do you know of a reliable place to purchase a sewing table? Is there any advantages between a T-leg and K-leg table?
I usually get the K legs because they're sturdy and comfortable to use... www.ebay.com/itm/144766036480?hash=item21b4ba6a00:g:SicAAOSwHZdbMtjZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8JFvcPhebZiXFKISYEwzfCgwJjnyji5RaW4dJsqP7FN7OgfiivQO9qVu6J0T6WtBVIz5cePggq3Ss40gp8WYIqdKKIzoUVRvoeeOo%2F6s0r0WJ%2BHr%2BmzXFmMAjU36m8CYukxv8dlzY6TZWPqs4RRsbqZcK6JQc%2BkRDyV%2Fn9BYos4IeSi0oELnkMJ5dAnrRZJzJ9D%2BBVfkjL9zn%2B58t7PY2s8e7%2F7dzVdRH34jVL81GONXDh4yGobrufkGboPe1mIdXM3bwx44ibGFFfY%2BeEJ8IaVix8GmSBcR6aEr2XD1HXZvjTBSQ7%2Fw69ZOoJyT0o%2Fiew%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMnNLF-sRh sorry for the long link! eBay industrial sewing table will get you there too.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Thank you.
What model servo motor is that , how much did it cost and why did you choose it?
It's a New Tech brand, but the same motor is sold under the Family, Rex, and Consew brands. Price varies but they're usually around $100. I selected this style of servo because they are easy to adjust. Just one knob to control speed / power. Other models have a two button system where you press the buttons a certain number of times in a specific sequence to set the speed etc. and I find it annoying in regular use. If you want to use a needle positioner, you'll need an electric servo that can accept one. I don't use a needle positioner, so these basic servos are great. I use them with or without a speed reducer.
Thanks
Sorry … am I missing the link/info for ordering this servo motor kit?
Here you go... amzn.to/3TbQhc4 I must have forgotten to add the link. Thanks!
Where can I get one of these motor and belt to fit the dnu41 junkie
Ebay is a good source for motors and belts. New Tech servo motor and you'll have to measure for the belt length. Probably 38" or 39" 3/8 v-belt if you use a small motor pulley.

Why does my Juki starts running when I turn ON the button without even touching the pedal? Thanks for a great video!
The linkage connecting the motor with the foot pedal is adjusted too short. Loosen the nut on the linkage bars, and adjust it slightly longer.

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Hey, thank you very much!! You were exactly right! 🙏 Thanks for providing me a solution, for your knowledge, experience and kindness. God bless you! *You are indeed throughtful!
I have a Pfaff 332, and I like to sew leather but don’t have funds to buy more expensive machines. Can I install a servo motor on the Pfaff to sew Leather?
The Pfaff 332 is not really a leather sewing machine. The servo motor will make it easier to control, and capable of sewing more slowly. That can be a very good thing for a lot of projects, but I wouldn't use that machine to sew leather. Some basic household machines will sew two thin layers of leather together, but the problem is they don't feed the top and bottom layers evenly. Plus most machines don't lift high enough to really sew much thickness. You really need a walking foot to solve both issues.
Best of luck with it!
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker thank you sir for taking time to reply to my message. Much appreciated. I saw a channel ‘cowboy country’ or something where the gentlemen did with regular but I’d didn’t work for me, hence the question. Thanks again!
Can I install this servo motor on the Juki 1541S?
Yes, in fact the servo motor is quite universal. With analog servo motors you won't have the option for a needle positioner, but I don't use one anyway.
These are pretty good motors with or without a speed reducer.
Best
What brand and hp or watt servo motor did you use?
I use these servo motors... amzn.to/3u5aMNn best to you
Holy cow! I am getting a knocking noise. I took off the brake cover and couldn't find anything, but there is a horrible knocking sound. If I cannot fix it, can you recommend a good sound suppressor?
I need to get up to speed with what you already know. Is the noise with a clutch motor, servo motor, or machine head? Remove the belt between the machine and motor to isolate the problem. Can you replicate the sound by turning the machine by hand (with the motor belt removed)? If the head only makes the same noise, then you might have a loose wing nut behind the machine. Check the steppage adjustment behind the thread guide post on top of the machine. Make sure that is tight. See the 2:55 mark of this video for reference... ua-cam.com/video/v2QdIKrK_xI/v-deo.html
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Hi, I had removed the original clutch drive and had mounted the servo motor to the sewing table. The machine was not attached to the Pfaff. In fact, the Pfaff was taken off and placed off to the side. I sat the speed on the Enduro to 1250 to 1500 and manually disengaged the brake. The motor ran but there was a horrible knocking noise similar to a fan blade hitting a fan guard. I removed the cover over the brake assembly and ran the motor cut could nothing hitting which led me to believe the machine had a bad bearing. I removed the motor from the table to return it to Amazon. I disengaged the brake and again, the motor made the knocking noise. Out of curiosity, I sat the machine on the mount so that the motor was actually upside down and disengaged the brake again. The noise was still there but not nearly so bad. I worked for SKF (bearing company) for four years at the research center in The Netherlands. Based on that, I am pretty sure the fault is not the bearing but more probably a misalignment problem. I returned the motor to Amazon yesterday and I am picking up a different motor from Industrial Sewing Systems in Beloit Wisconsin this morning. If you wish, I will keep you aware of how that works out - motor brand, results, etc.
I am very grateful to you for making me more knowledgeable about this Pfaff and how to corral it a little so I can actually use it.
Enjoy your week and again, thank you.
I purchased what happens to be the same motor but with a different name (Family). I installed it and am waiting for the belt to come in. Thank you for all the time you take to share your knowledge.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Hi, I am doing great with my sewing Pfaff 145 and new servo motor. It makes all the difference. In fact, I think I would have given up trying to sew leather by now had it not been for the servo motor. Thank you for your advice and help on that. What I have found is that leather is quirky and that I am having to learn about its characteristics. I know I have thanked you before, but please accept this sincere thank you because I would have quit had it not been for you.
@@darrylcrum2495 that's great! Truly appreciate the kind words.
Where do you install the cork break??
Hi Judy, the cork brake comes already installed on the servo. They just include a spare in case you ever need one. I've honestly never had to replace one.
Best
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Thank you so much!
Hello where can I purchase this motor?
Hi Mari, this is the servo motor I recommend... amzn.to/3yAryDg It's very reliable and quiet too.
Yeah, sounds like you unfortunately got a lemon. I've never experienced that before. Servos should be nearly silent.
Best of luck with the new one.
Did you notice that Trooper's Paw was on the Foot Pedal at one point. Except it wasn't connected and Trooper was behind the machine. Maybe Trooper's stage name should Stitcher.
Oh my goodness that is so funny. No, I didn't notice that. He is always underfoot.
Best
That was really unhelpful to have the music on while you were sewing as an accurate gauge of how the machine sounded could not be had
Ok sir. Check out my other Juki 563 videos for how they sound. Best to you.
Please stop with the music when giving instruction .It makes it very hard to understand what is being said . Other than that a useful video ,all be it with highly annoying music overlay
Thanks for your observation. I have since done away with music in all my videos. Best to you.
the same machine as a consew 226
The Juki LU-562 has a very similar feel to the Consew 226. Both top loading G bobbin machines with push down reverse levers. The LU-563 is differentiated by an extra large U style bobbin. Best to you.
@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker the extra large bobbin sounds like an improvement
