DIY Assembly Juki DDL-8700 How To Step by Step

In this one hour DIY video we will show you how to assemble the Juki DDL-8700. We cover step-by-step in 8 sections on how to put the table, stand, motor, and head together. Then we show you the basics of operating the machine. We offer the Juki DDL-8700 in the pieces detailed in this video at www.cutsew.com/Juki-DDL8700--...
Section One shows the unboxing of the items you receive when ordering your Juki DDL-8700 unassembled from www.cutsew.com. One box contains the Juki machine head and the sewing machine servo motor. The larger box holds the legs, tabletop and other necessary items.
Part Two covers the tools you will need to perform the entire task. We outline the entire list from wrenches to scissors.
The Third segment explains how to put the table and legs together. Every single bolt and nut are shown to lessen the mystery of what goes where. We explain exactly how to connect the braces to the legs so that the machine is structurally sound.
In the Fourth Section, you will see how to mount the servo motor to the table while it is still upside down. The technique of assembling it upsidedown makes for less lifting and faster work.
Part Five details exactly how to connect the operator pedal to the motor so that the machine will sew as expected. Skipping a section like this might leave you with rubbing parts or maybe just a machine that won't run.
Segment Six explains how to properly unbox the Juki DDL 8700 sewing machine head safely and without damage to the product. You also see all the accessories that come inside this box. You may be surprised that this is where the thread stand is kept.
Section Seven of this DIY video will show you step-by-step on how to attach the head to the table. There are quite a few small details that must be executed in a certain order. Critical guards are installed to protect the operator from moving parts.
Eight. In the last portion, we go over the basic operations of your fully assembled sewing machine. We show you how to thread the machine. We also show you how to load the bobbin and adjust the stitch length.

You are a lifesaver. The instructions JUKI sends are pathetic. Bless you.

[@shannonthomas89]

Hahaha you got instructions?

[@sue4461]

Thank you. I just got my DDL-8700 today and my husband and I were able to put it together with no problems thanks to your video. Thank you again!

[@CutSew]

Great to hear!

[@yolandadeleon9774]

I was looking to buying a Juki but it would be disassembled and you need someone to assemble it for you. So whenever I need help, I always go to KZbin. I am so happy I came across your video. You are the best instructor, with the help of your partner who took his time to put it together, you made it very easy to try and tackle it myself. Thank you so much!! Keep up the good work.

Just got myself a DL8700, but like someone else said in the comments, the instructions Juki provided weren't great. So thank you for this super detailed and very helpful video!

Yeah, this is, of course, our set up. Depending who you order from, there will be some differences, but we are making the most helpful videos that we can.

[@jaynemay7536]

Thank you so much for providing such excellent step-by-step instructions. My Juki DU-1181N arrived yesterday with no instructions for installation. I had read that everything is the same as installing the DDL 8700 except the fly wheel, so this was extremely helpful. There were some very minor differences (like the type of screws), but this video was excellent! THANK YOU!

[@CutSew]

Glad we could help.

Very helpful video.. the only thing I did different is was I drilled the holes for light and thread stand before putting the pan and head on. That way you don't get sawdust in the oil pan.

Does this apply as well to take one apart for transport? How difficult is it to disassemble? (Not completely but enough to fit in a car)

Can anyone tell me what the little metal piece with the cork is for?

[@cindabishop2722]

Thank you! I recently purchased the DDL-8100 and couldn't find any assembly instruction - then someone told me that its essentially the same machine as the DDL 8700 and I found this video to be incredibly helpful!

[@CutSew]

You are welcome!

[@Iammiraclemathis]

I’m confused on what screw was used to mount the legs to the table. Was it the ones with the hexagonal head???

[@CoachKarter215]

I’m not sure to height bolts are long enough

[@karenjenkins3431]

Great video. I wish I came across this before putting my machine together. I am having trouble tightening my belt. The higher the top screw on the motor is the looser the belt. How do I tighten the belt? Also the belt guard makes rumbling noise when I press on the foot petal.

[@CutSew]

[@genevievestdenis6770]

Thank you so much, you may have saved our marriage. 🙏😁

[@CutSew]

Ha! We do what we can

[@kogabear1]

Great video. Doesn’t look to bad to assemble. Only one thing, a “lock” washer always goes to the nut, it serves no purpose on the bolt head side.

[@randyfernando4442]

Thanks for this very informative video! I’m thinking of getting a new sewing machine. Is this the procedure for Juki 5550 N?

Yes, it is!

Please help me that short tiny black screw popped off my ddl8700. But i can't figure out where it came from

[@abbyoyediran5730]

I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. Lifesaver. I would have been so lost. You were so patient and set a good pace in your explanations. God bless you and your team. However, I am still struggling with the knee pad because my machine came with the motor already attached to the table. so I am lost on where to attach the knee press/ Also mine did not come with the light fixture. Do I need to buy it?

[@CutSew]

Sorry for the slow response, but we don't sell them with the motor atttached. You can buy the light from us though!

[@jennyperson3217]

This is pretty much the same for the 1181n correct? Mine just arrived today & this is by far the best video I have found. :)

[@CutSew]

Pretty much the same

[@francinedevriese3128]

Great video!! I have a trouble with a juki DDL 5530 but I perhaps this DDL 8700 works the same way. I think the knob to adjust the stitch length is broken or disrupted. When sewing forward the stitches are very small but when sewing in reverse the stitches have a normal length. Can I manually adjust the stitch length again?

[@CutSew]

It should

[@francinedevriese3128]

@@CutSew Yes thank you. But how can I manually adjust the stitch length when the knob does nothing anymore?

Hello dear cutsew how much price juki ddl8700

[@GeneralInformationYoutube]

Is there a way to remove the thread guide from the top. Mine popped and I need to replace it

[@CutSew]

there's quite a few, but it's probably just pushed in there and held with friction, so just pull it out.

I'll try to make a video. Can you send me a picture, so I can see how you did it?

[@Iammiraclemathis]

I’m so confused on which screws you used to mount the legs to the table was it the hexagonal head screws ?? Please help!

[@CutSew]

It is the 5/16x 1” bolt with flat and lock washer.

[@CoachKarter215]

How do u get the bolt with x on head into the underside of table to attach legs

[@mariefritz1]

I bought my Juki off Amazon. They sent me a 39 belt it seems to be too big I can't get it to have tension no matter what. Do I need a 38????

[@karenramnath9993]

I just bought a 38 and it seems to fit well. I had a 40 before, and I had to adjust the swing-span of the motor all the way out.

Budget Juki - Free We were given by a friend a JUKI DDL-8700-7 Comes with a computer that is said not to be working (JUKI CP-160) When the power switch to the machine is turned on the CP-160 turns on and everything seems to look ok. But when I push on the pedal nothing runs. It does not show any error display or code to work with. With your experience I was hoping for any advise as to where or what I should try?

[@CutSew]

I'll get with our mechanics & see what they say.

[@dorarojas4788]

[@mykalimba]

Is the motor a JUKI part, or is it third party? If the latter, how can Juki warranty the machine when the motor isn't theirs?

[@CutSew]

The Juki warranty is for manufacturer defects on the Juki head only.

[@mykalimba]

@@CutSew Thank you the response. It seems like this arrangement creates a grey area where Juki could claim that the machine head was damaged because of the motor, and maybe refuse warranty coverage. That's scary from a consumer's viewpoint, but I guess that's how these machines have been sold forever? Does Juki even make their own servo motor that a customer can purchase optionally?
