Can I DOUBLE The Speed of My Sewing Machine!?

[@katherineblanco9471]

I am excited , then you can make the 200 pairs of trousers by midnight. The speed is king.

This is the content KZbin needs.

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

You are awesome! I'm glad you like this video. I have so many ideas and so little time right now.

[@ronalddevine9587]

Interesting. I did a similar modification to a Singer 66 red eye. Man, it flies. But thanks to its weight, it doesn't jump all over the place. I'll stick with all metal machines, thank you. Nice presentation

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Yes, I can see how that would be a straightforward upgrade. This machine is heavier than a lot of plastic machines, but not anywhere near a model 66.

[@ilianamorenodelarson6429]

Can you speed up singer sewing machine? Pedal modifications? Love the repair instructors.keep them coming

[@petersiliekrause2203]

That was fun to watch 👍🏻 Especially, because there was no risk of destroying one of MY OWN machines 😂 Aren’t you afraid, that some of the plastic gear parts inside might not survive the higher speed in the long run (like: Being worn out really fast due to higher friction at higher speed)?

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Yes, I like to live dangerously, lol.

[@petersiliekrause2203]

Sewing Machine Repair Guy I see 😉 Was this type of machine generally built slow-sew (and if: Is that intended or simply misconstructed?), or is it a phenomenon that only occurs on this specific machine?

[@loopyshroomy6739]

That is neat! I'm envious of your ingenuity

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Thanks!

[@PibbleMom297]

Only a LITTLE faster!!?? Wow, that's almost as fast as an industrial machine! You could set it in it's own table (or even a good heavy wooden base) and it wouldn't jump around like that. I'm curious to know your opinion about the plastic components. Do you think they'll hold up under that speed, even knowing it wouldn't be run that fast 100% of the time? That original motor was SO very underpowered! It's surprising to me that Juki would make a machine with such a weak motor. I'm not very knowledgeable with regard to motors and electricity, and I know you were making a comparison based on watts, but how did they compare from an amps standpoint? This was a fascinating video!

[@jnl.]

i dont know about sewing machines specifically, but many times foot pedal speeds can be adjusted if you take them apart and adjust the pot inside. my ancient kenmore recently has gotten CRAZY slow, like one stitch per second, maybe even less). i havent tried to fix it yet but thats what i will check first. if that doesnt work and it needs a new motor then i will just get a different machine cause i can get old sewing machines for 30-50 bucks easy. they are all over marketplace and thrift stores. and i like old machines better than new ones.

[@rdfjfgjyfdhfghy67456]

Could you do a video on fixing sewing machine pedals? Mine can't seem to maintain a slow speed anymore!

[@tilamz6]

I would like a kit

[@K_in_Qatar]

WOAH!!!! Okay. So this is what I NEED!! But also right now, the bottom feed is not working. :/ it’s eating up the thread from the bobbin. What must be the problem?? 😢

[@hisham56hamilton50]

Maan !! That is something ..I add some weights with magnetic and double sided tape .It did not jump . Then I change it to more permanent solution with flat steel weight attached to the base with screws . It worked like a dream. Now I have 50% more time for chasing garls maan..Kit will be perfect.

[@DL-ir2wb]

haha what a fun video. a doubt the Juki h 353z, what engine power could it have? .will it be a good machine to be able to do everything at home? sew canvas from time to time, felt, very fine clothes

[@nworaanyika8863]

This needs to be done to all machines below 1100 SPM.

[@conny.rapp.tattoo]

I have an old '81 Pfaff 1209 and its REALLY SLOW. How do i find a matching and faster motor?

[@twiglet2214]

I've fitted a Briggs and Stratton 3hp lawn mower engine to my Juki HZe80 machine but the neighbours are complaining about the noise and i'm wondering whether it would be better with a diesel engine ?

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Lol, looking forward to seeing your video!

[@twiglet2214]

@@SewingMachineRepairGuyWorn piston ring - burning a lot of oil so you can't see through the smoke to film it unforch !

[@cocasio7190]

Hello! This was interesting. If you service a Kenmore 10, 385-12490, I would like your opinion on how to disengage a reverse stitch that get stuck (keep stitching on reverse) after releasing the reverse knob. Thanks!

[@rickydrummer1898]

Dremel on the fan?

[@southothehighway]

A small drill press would be helpful

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Sadly, I actually have one, lol. Probably should have used it.

[@TealCheetah]

That plastic gear looked like it was garbage anyway. Tho... drill press might have been the better way to drill out that hole?

[@taxiwatcher]

But is it worth it? Is the cost of the mod ( machine, mod parts and labor) cheaper than buying a model that already has that speed?

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Ask a car guy if doubling his horsepower was worth it, lol. Yes, it was worth it! BTW, parts cost was

[@jackhill436]

Not sure if I would ever do that the extra speed isn’t worth much if you have to keep stopping and moving the machine back

[@dindog22]

can you teach us how to solder? that thing is as fast as a serger now

[@hisham56hamilton50]

Write (how to solder) in KZbin darling !! Millions of instructions.

[@newnormal1841]

. 13:56 lol Hope so at that speed. 🤺💐

[@canlelola]

Okay, modding a sewing machine. What's next a four amp motor? Oh, but no joke. a huge ass stepper motor.

[@quasimodoo17]

Hi, Repair Guy, of course, nowadays (2024, 4 years after you posted that vid) you'd just print out that elusive gear on a 3D printer. By the way, Juki is Japanese and means "heavy machine". A pity they aren't made in Japan.

[@barbarajohnson7184]

I thought your hand peddle was interesting. LOL

[@michaeltexeira6185]

Very dangerous operation,,,when drilling the pulley,,,,,holding with your hands,,,a vice should be used to hold the pulley,,,,a bench drill was safer,,,also. When you drill the pulley,,,the thickness is weakening,,,,,,,,also. When increased speed the parts,,,cannot handle the extra speed,,,,and will break,and wear out faster,,,,I also noticed the hook and needle settings is off. The hook is touching the hook point. This machine will not last long.

[@eviforopoulou]

Why dont you put some weight inside so it does not jump all over the place!!

[@Theengalu]

-sees drill go through piece- whoops.... yikes!

[@Theengalu]

I think it's time for some theme music lol

[@jewelthompson9034]

You should of melt it and it would have done it just fine it's plastic. So next time melt it

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Good idea!

[@rebeccal786]
