Yes, jute webbing can work in that application so long as the frame is strong enough. I usually use 1" thick hardwood. Thanks

The bevel attachment lets you hold a tool against the 45 degree slope, to grind or sharpen it. Thanks.

Yep, pretty poor selection of router bits at the home centers. I usually order Whiteside or Infinity off Amazon. They show up pretty quick. Good luck.

That's great James! I'm no expert sewing projects, but I can usually get a machine up and running. Thanks.

Thank for the nice comment. I haven't noticed any difference with moisture content. Even if there was, it would just be on the surface. It didn't seem to affect the finishing process either. Thanks.

Yes I've had that happen a time or two. Oil it with sewing machine oil, especially the bearing and journals by the hand wheel. Let it sit overnight and force it to turn. They always break loose, it just takes time and oil. Of course make sure there's no thread stuck under the bobbin first!

Thanks for the recommendation. I had the Triton 2.25hp thinking it would be great in a table. I quickly sold it. Just too gimmicky with the power switch safety device. I still prefer my old Freud FT 1700 which also has auto collet lock and above the table features. Sadly it's no longer made. Thanks for weighing in.

Usually zigzag springs are best. Webbing is ok as well, and plywood a distant 3rd for comfort. Thanks

Just come shaped paint strainers from Woodcraft. I get a medium size mesh for paints and a fine one for lacquer. Thanks.

That's cool Warren. These classic forms are definitely worth preserving.

The Milwaukee is great with nice battery life. If I could only have one router I guess it would be the DeWalt 618. Not to throw a wrench in things, but DeWalt is about to release a 2-1/4hp cordless router. Good luck deciding!

Hey thanks Peter!

Hmm, this one isn't very heavy when empty. I'm not picturing what a two wheel cart would look like. Anyway, glad you found something that works for you. They also have dump carts just like this one but with a poly tub and dump feature.

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker What is the empty weight? Two wheel garden carts are everywhere.

@@joewoodchuck3824 Hello, I think the cart weighs about 40 lbs. I know I can pull it with two fingers. Thanks for your input!

Hi Wendy! The Consew 206rb5 is a walking foot machine that does straight stitch. It doesn't offer zigzag. Thanks

Thanks Chuck!

Thanks Wayne!

Yeah it works pretty good. Thanks Steve.

I like that Bow sells everything piecemeal, so you can try some featherboards and add the aluminum fence later. Thanks.

Nice! Sounds like a great application for the Bow fence.

They look like an H style bobbin, but I can't find reference to it anywhere. This is an older machine, and you might have to thumb through a manual online. I've had a couple of them but don't recall the bobbin size. Thanks.

Well my goal wasn't to be fair, I just wanted to compare two commonly available products so people could see what a difference in performance there is. Sorry you didn't like it.

Yes, using the round part of a router base works fine. Thanks

Hi Josh, here's the servo I usually get... amzn.to/4bMafkn Have fun with the new machine.

You make have to wrap the front first, then add a separate upholstered back piece and trim it out with tack strips and welt cord. Good luck!

Thanks Douglas!

Small hooks are screwed into the edge of the door. You can paint the entire door at once. Just position the holes on top for upper doors, and on bottom for lower doors, and you'll never see them.

My pleasure. Thanks!

Actual dimension of a 2x4 is 1.5" so it would work.

Thank you!

Good Questions! I don't feel that a zig zag stitch is stronger or better in leather and upholstery material, although it might help with canvas. It can be used as a cheap alternative to a serger when working with material prone to fraying, but there are better overlock stitches on most modern machines. You can't modify a 206 to do zigzag stitch. I really doubt you'll ever miss a zigzag stitch if your machine doesn't have it. Thanks

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker ...really good answer.. We are honing in on the Juki 563 in excellent condition and will get the servo motor and try to configure like you did. We may go sailing and have some impression that we may repair our sails with it -- Sail makers use zig zag, although I read somewhere that a quality single stich is as good or better, and that two lines of single stitch would certainly be better. Just wish I knew the best answer to that but there are no good sources. You mentioned your servo is 500watts and I see online some are 750 watts etc., Assuming they all plug into the normal power socket in our house, how would you tell the difference between "just" 500 watts vs 750 or 1000 watts?

@@Coleen-Love You'll be fine with a 550w servo like this... amzn.to/3X6Rd3F I think they're easier to control than a digital servo, and have enough power for just about anything. If you plan to add a speed reducer, it will have gobs of power! Mine could sew through plywood.

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker ..perfect. Do you have a video of the Juki when you first got it and showing the coondition and the repairs etc that you did? Seems to now be in near perfect condition.

@@Coleen-Love Here is my main Juki video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGO0lXyBp7CSrqs Juki vs. Pfaff video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGmsiISBf61grMk and a servo install video on a Juki (no speed reducer)... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqnCo4Zve9-pnNE Have fun!

They are actually shared listings. If you poke around a little you'll find the bit and setup gauge. Thanks

Warn needle bar bushings. It happens with older machines as they wear out. Or it could simply be a skipped stitch. If it's just a skipped stitch, check thread path, quality of winding on bobbin, upper tension check spring, hook timing and hook spacing.

A lot of assumptions here. I'm not sure any of that is true.

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker so they just laser engrave "Made in Italy" on the blade to throw me off and it is really made in China?

Oh yeah, for sure. There are guys that paint cars with these turbines. That would work well.

I like them as long as my workpiece is at least 3" wide. Any narrower and I'll grab a Magswitch featherboard. Luckily the Jessem Stock Guides slide out of the way. Thanks for your honesty opinion.

Table saws aren’t forbidden in Europe. Table saws with arbours long enough to hold a dado blade aren’t permitted ( at least for home/hobby) use.

No, unfortunately the rip fence is a little shorter on the Fusion F2. I suppose you could cut the Jessem aluminum rail and make a shorter version. Thanks.

That's funny, I always wished mine were plated! Probably better for long term rust prevention. Anyway, glad you got the blades and hope you like them.

Wait, I just got mine and they are not plated.

Here you go... amzn.to/4bX1tQa

Oh sure, there's plenty of space for a custom router table insert on the F2. If you have the space, a dedicated router table would be better, but one in the TS could work. It comes down to the fence, which for a good router table has split faces. Good luck with it.

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker thank you so much. I bought laguna F2 because I watched your video 👍🏻

Yeah, my old cast iron bandsaw maxed out at a1/2" blade, so I appreciate a 3/4" blade on the 1412. Thanks for weighing in.

Good, glad we got you fixed up!
