Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Right on! In this video I show how to build a table for an industrial sewing machine and how to slow a sewing machine down with a pulley reduction system for sewing leather. I also cover the installation of the Consew CSM 1000 servo motor.
This is the first video I am uploading as part of my new channel.
I have lots of videos coming! Im also setting up a double stack Bakers Pride pizza oven in my shop to make pizza part of the workshop and the channel. Working in the shop and making pizza!
Enjoy the video! I had a great time making it.
Thanks,
Jon Crane

Good job! I'm starting on a table for a Consew servo / Singer 211a - this is enormously helpful.
Thanks so much for your tip on drilling a template in a scrap piece to use as a template for the job. Greetings from Maine
Right On! 🙌 I have some relatives in Maine! Rangley Lakes and also Penobscot Bay.
B I N G O. !!!!
I'm about to build a sewing machine table, and have been surfing for ideas. Dang man. I never expected something this good. Many thanks!
Right On! 🙌 It’s been great. I love this machine. I recently bought a cylinder arm walking foot and I have to build a new table for that. It will be similar but I want the arm to stick out over the side of the table.
I hope your build is going well! 🙌☀️
Great setup Jon Crane. Thanks for the shout out. Right On!
Alexander Dyer Right On! Your videos are great! Thanks for the comment 👏✨
Hi. Thisi Eric from Consew. Great video. Thanks for producing.
Hi Eric! Thanks! That’s cool 🙌 Are you a sales representative?
Your video is perfect timing cuz I'm in the middle of building a new table for my industrial machine right now. Thank you so much for taking the time to depict your details and yes I think I'm going to add a speed reduction system as well because I want to be able to go stitch by stitch smoothly. Thank you once again
Right On! 🙌 How did your table turn out? It definitely is a game changer to slow it down and get more torque.
@RightOnJonCrane OH man I love it. I can literally move stitch by stitch. That slows high speed but I'm on no hurry. Wish I could send pics
@@jeffdeluca1153 Right On! 🙌
i like all your woodwork. i learned. When you were applying it showed the beautiful wood. Then i thought that the wood might snag on the fabric. the work I do needs a very smooth corner to corner tabletop. i could not afford to snag any portion of the fabric i am sewing. Sails, Clothing, Seat covers etc.
Right On! 🙌 I hear ya! No snags. So far so good. It’s gotten pretty smooth now with all the fabric I’ve run through it. What kind of machine do you have?
What a great video. Thank you Jon. I just picked up a Consew 206RB3 and I am getting ready to order a servo for it, but when I saw the subject and the introduction of this video, I decided to watch it first. Now, I am ready to order the new motor! Many thanks. Bob Ohler / Poppa Bob's Canvas
Right On Bob! 👍 I’m glad you found the video helpful! I put up another video Right On #56 on oiling the Consew. You might find that useful too. Thanks for watching! 🙌😃
MTRC Crane is the Navy's schoolhouse for repairing equipment. It's an acronym for Mobile Technology Repair Complex.
@AutismusPrime69 Who? This channel or the guy that made the Crane video?
Does SIMA still exist?
@@guitarfreak122 Definitely not me! I’m not in prison. I had to erase that previous comment. He must have been talking about the Navy video.
Right On! 🙌 It’s nice to know what that stands for. It’s an excellent video. I haven’t watched it in a while. I hope it is still up and available.
Looks great! Thanks for the Forster bit tip, I’ll be using that from now on.
Right On! 🙌 A great way to line it all up!
Jesus man you are one organized dude. Wish my shop was like that damn
Right On! 🙌 It’s definitely a full time job. It does feel great getting things organized.
I knew at some point you'd hit one out of the park! Great video Jon, but more importantly, it's REALLY informative, detail oriented and easily understood. I also noted you mentioned other UA-cam references, nice touch! Really looking forward to your forthcoming videos - keep up the great work!!
Donald Ashmore Thanks for watching Donny! Yes there are some many good resources here on UA-cam like Harry Rogers and Alexander Dyer. Good quality content. I’m happy to give a shout out.
Love it Jon...if I was to make one small change...I would put the bearings only on the large pulley and leave the small pulley floating, just so I wouldn’t have to unbolt bearings to change a belt .but that’s just my preference ...Right on Jon 🇬🇧✊🏻. Sweet 👌
Right on Jim! That would be a good upgrade! I am going to make a couple more for some other machines! 👍🏼 🧵
Shimbala. Nice. Great video! You hit a lot of interesting topics about using these machines, too, which was good. Great lighting. Tools were loud, but you’re on your way! Used simple tools, too. 👍 oh, also, I noticed the moments when I instinctually wanted to fast forward, you did it for me. OMG that lathe @ 31:00!!! That’s the same motor I picked up. Love it.
Right on Luke! Thanks for watching. Yeah that big Leblond lathe. I'll have some videos soon of that guy. Thats good to hear the feedback on that servo motor!!
Right On brand, too! 👍😂
Excellent video Jon - I like how you pay attention to many of the little details including the products and tools you are using. I also would like a shop tour, looks like you have a great collection of classic tools to check out. More Jon-san More!
Ty Burhoe Thanks Ty! And Thank you for the great intro music on the videos!!! Yes a shop tour will be coming soon 👍🏼 I have a few machines that I’ll be doing some restoration on soon. I’ll do a series on those machines.
Wonderful video ❤. Thank you for posting such a beautiful piece.❤
Right On! 🙌 Thanks for such a nice comment. Made my day!
I appreciate this video and all you share, thank you for being and sharing.
I appreciate it. You did a really great work and awesome video that help me a lot, tanks so much.
Right On! 🙌 I’m glad it helped out. UA-cam is such a cool resource!
Thanks so much, I just aquired a consew 226, need to do a top like your.
Right On! 🙌 That’s a great machine! Did you end up building a new table?
Am a subscriber to Harry’s Chanel. Quite a craftsman 👍👍
Right On! 🙌 Harry has a great channel! It was cool to watch him make some shoes!
I've been thinking of adding the Jack shaft to my singer to slow it down before I saw your video, but want to put it under the table with the clutch motor.
Right On! 🙌 It will help out a lot.
I did that very thing 20 years ago.
Right On Patrick! 🙌 It really has made this a great machine to use.
You can use Dc motor with a variable speed control board .
Right On! 🙌 A VFD would be cool to try on a sewing machine!
right arm...txs for sharing
Right On! 🙌 Thanks Tom! 3 years later I’m catching up on some comments! 😄🙌☀️ Hope your day is awesome 👏
Super informative and very entertaining. How about a shop tour?
Thanks Lukas! Yes a shop tour will be coming soon!
Yeah, I want a shop tour, too
Good work. Thanks.
Right On! 🙌 Thanks!
Good job . Consider mounting a large cutting mat to cover the entire the top surface . I did and it is very convenient and practical .
Right on! 👍Thanks that is a cool idea!
Great Video !
Right On! 🙌 Thanks!
Good job man...like your shop
...
Right On! 🙌 Thanks!
Huge job man, and perfect too😉😋
Right On! 🙌✨👍 Thanks 🙏
Thank you for sharing
Nice work on the layshaft. I was thinking of doing the same thing for a Brother industrial machine I just got a few weeks back. Guess you'll be using the La Blond to wind the bobbin though.😂
Right On! 🙌 Ha! Yes! I actually bought a bobbin winder that has been great to have. I was using another machine that I have to wind bobbins before that. The separate winder is so nice to not have to interrupt sewing. 🙌✨
Great upgrade! I think this is the best speed reduction video out there. I have been trying to decide which industrial machine to get and I keep bumping up against the venerable Consew 206RB. I have my eye on a Consew 2206RB 14-7-DD which is the high tech version that is direct drive and has programmable features. I don't know if I can justify that kind of investment but it certainly is a cool unit for a production outfit for sure.
Right On! 🙌 What machine did you end up getting? The consew 206 rub has been great for me. I just picked up a Juki LS-341 cylinder arm. It is also a walking foot. I’m just starting to use it. I’ll have to build a new table for it as well.
Don't forget to put oil for lubrication.
Right On! 🙌 Yes, good to keep things moving smoothly! Thanks for watching and the good tip!
Very good!!!. Excelent
Right On Pedro! 👍 Happy New Year! 🎊
Gracias; Dios bendiga y guarde varon.
Discovered your channel today and subscribed. I've watched a couple of your videos already and love how detailed they are. Your level of detail reminds me of my favorite YT woodworker "askwoodman". Unfortunately, he longer posts new videos.
Right On! 🙌 Thanks for the nice comment. I appreciate it! I will have to check out ask woodman. Watch some of his old videos. Hopefully they are still posted! Hope your day is awesome 👏☀️🙌
Waylon!!!!!!
Right On! 🙌 The best! Waylon and Willie
Great video, Thanks. So with this new motor can you turn the machine by hand? That is what you said you didn't like with the other type of servo motor.
Right On! 🙌 Yes with this motor I can turn the hand wheel without any problem. The other servo motor I had did not let me do that even after removing the brake. I have run a lot of material on this machine with this motor. I feel the pulley reduction takes a lot of stress off the motor. It’s been great! 🙌✨☀️
What type of speed reducer pulley did you use? A type? I can't find large diameter M type pulleys.
really enjoyed your oiling video for the cones 206rb and this reduction. How do you handle the bobbin winder with this system?
Right On Dave! 👍 Thanks. I have a few machines and wind most of my bobbins on my Juki machine. This is a build I’m going to do soon. A bobbin winder. Just for fun!
ok
Right On! 🙌
What are you doing about a bobbin winder? Looks like you may not have room for the standard industrial bobbin winder that comes with this machine, being that your pulley is mounted on the top of your table,
I use a separate bobbin winder👍 I’ll be doing a video soon on that. I really like that it doesn’t interrupt what I’m sewing. 😃
Hi, great video. I’m about to finish my table top build on a butcher block top with the exact pulleys you’re using. Can you tell me what sizes are the belts? Also, has the CSM 1000 motor given you any reason to want the CSM 3000 which is 1hp? Thanks
Right On! 🙌 I’m sure you have finished your table build by now. I’d have to look close and remember what I used. As far as the motor it has been great! No problems. I feel the pulley reduction takes the stress off of the motor. I’ve run a lot of material since I set this up a few years ago. What motor did you end up going with?
Do you know what the differences are between the RB1 and RB5 machines?
I know every few years they made an updated model. I’m not sure of all the details. There is a guy on Instagram, goes by sewmechanic he is out of Vancouver WA and he knows all about these machines. I would ask him. Thanks for watching! 🙌 Right on!
The stitch length regulator and reverse lever are the biggest differences. The 1 and 2 reverse lever is also the stitch length adjustment that uses a threaded collar and you lift up to reverse. The 3 got a separate paddle that you press down to reverse and dial adjustment for stitch length. The 4 and 5 have an adjustment for the fwd and reverse stitch length to match the stitch length when reversing where the previous iterations were not adjustable and had a slightly shorter reverse stitch.
@@guitarfreak122 Thank you, that is a very good and concise description of the differences!
How much would you say the proper tension belt is? Any suggestions will be appreciated
Hi! 😃 It doesn’t take much as long as the belt is new. I just look for a straight belt and use the weight of the machine if that makes sense?! 👍✨🙌
Are the pillow blocks 1/2" or 5/8" bore. Thanks?
Hi Tony! These pillow blocks are 5/8 inside diameter 👍🏼
Bobbin winder?
I know I didn’t put one on this machine. I did buy an external bobbin winder. It’s really nice to have and not very expensive. I also have a couple other machines that I can wind bobbins on.
Fair enough.
Jon, Did you ever mount the needle position sensor?
I did not mount the positioner on the consew. I did buy a Juki that has one and it’s been great so far. I think it could be worth it to install on the Consew! 🙌
Which pillow block are these and where can you order such?
I had these blocks for a long time. A friend gave me a whole box of them. I’m pretty sure they can be purchased on Amazon or from Mcmaster Carr. I’d have to look at them and see what size they are.
Jon, I have the same machine (206rb-2) that I just restored. Can you tell me what is the maximum stitch length that you are able to get per inch. I'm getting around 4 1/2 per inch. Thanks
Hi Tony! I will have to measure. I’ll do that and drop another comment here. 👍🏼
How is your table doing now
Right On! 🙌 It has been great! I have run a lot of material through it and it’s holding up strong. I feel the pulley reduction takes a lot of stress off of the motor. I’ve done some heavy duty sewing jobs with thick material too. I made a car cover out of fake fur. Very thick. The material didn’t blink an eye. 🙌✨☀️👏
Great work. Where did you get the 8" pulley from?
Hi, I got this pull at my local hardware store. 8 in with 5/8 bore. 👍🏼
Hola de cuánto es el pulley más grande
es de 8 pulgadas
Nice build. What is the pulley type you used here? Are they M section 3/8" wide or regular 1/2' wide pulley? My machine is 3/8" pulley so just trying to figure it out
Hi Jeff I’m out of the shop just now but tomorrow morning I’ll measure the pulley and let ya know! 👍🏼 Thanks for watching!
@@RightOnJonCrane thx a bunch
Hi Jeff, I just measured the pulleys and they are 1/2” even though I’m running a 3/8 belt seems to be working fine. The larger pulley I have is a Chicago Die Casting 800 A pulley. 5/8” bore.
The smaller pulley is 2 3/8. 5/8 bore.
It’s probably best to get 3/8” pulleys. Hope this helps 👍🏼
@@RightOnJonCrane thx for the efforts
how has the servo motor held up?
It has been great! I have run a lot of jobs through it too. Lots of heavy stitching running 207 thread. No problems. 🙌 With the pulley reduction it really takes the stress off of the motor.
@@RightOnJonCrane one more part in the mail to come and I will be doing this to my 226, I've only had the machine 2+ years, I'm right on schedule...LOL
