I also made a video on threading only: • Threading a Singer 31k32
The Singer 31 is an industrial sewing machine. With many variations there are some things exactly the same. Like the system it uses (oscillating hook) and the needles (16x87 when connected to a motor and 16x73 when in operation on a treadles stand)…
This video is on the 31-32 and/or the 31k32 (the K stands for the Singer factory in Kilbowie). It is a brief introduction to a great machine. I will show you how to thread the machine and tell you which needles you can use with it. What you make with it is up to you!
I have multiple vids online on Singer sewing machines. Feel free to watch more…

Hi Filipe. Value... it's difficult. It all has to do with location and availability. In my area the machines are cheap. I got the head of a 1925 Singer 31k32 for 40 euros. A month later I found a 1924 Singer 31k32 in a treadle table for 60 euro or so. Later I saw similar models for even less. But I also saw them for more... The real value is what YOU want to pay for it, I think. I kept the head of the 1925 model 31k32 and put it into the table of the 1924 model 31k32. Then I bought a NEW motor. I think I can get little over 100 euros for it.

Hi Dani. You have some nice machines! As I recall the 31-15 has the same needle as the 31-32. I guess they all share the same needles in the 31-range since the mechanism is similar. Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hallo Michiel. Dankjewel voor je berichtje. Dat is een verdomd goede vraag! Zo goed dat ik er geen zeker antwoord op durf te geven.

Wow, da's.... verdomd vervelend zeg. Ik zou ook voor een 'nieuwe' gaan zoeken. Blij dat je dat ook doet. Ik heb voorheen een set van 2 gekocht op Ali voor paar eurootjes, maar daar moet je lange tijd op wachten. Andere opties zijn de onderdelen-winkels in Engeland, zoals College Sewing. Er zijn nog een paar anderen. Let goed op de drempel, want een aantal van die bedrijven sturen je alleen spullen op als je meer dan een X-bedrag bestelt. Succes!

@@michielmarleen De soort motor en specificaties hangt af waarvoor je het gebruikt. Zelf vind ik het leuk om kleine leerprojectjes te naaien. Een lage snelheid is voor mij belangrijk. Dus bedenk of voor jou de snelheid ook van belang is. Ik weet de specificaties van mijn motor niet precies, maar de laagst instelbare snelheid bij mij is 100 rpm. De ene keer heb ik mijn 31k32 erop met een rolvoet, de andere keer mijn 78-1 met een needle feed. Ik kan een korte video maken speciaal voor jou met het voorbeeld, maar dat kost wat tijd. (Ik heb een video over een 78-1 een paar maanden geleden op YT geplaatst met daarin ook een trage snelheid volgens mij...) Er zijn TALLOZE aanbieders zo lijkt het, maar vaak zijn het dezelfde motoren. Mijn motor kwam uit Tsjechië volgens mij, maar dat terzijde. Laat maar weten of je meer wilt weten over mijn motor of dat je zelf op zoek gaat. Groet'n!

Hoioi! Ik zou graag de specs van jouw motor weten, als je die nog kan vinden..😅 Snelheid is voor mij ook niet belangrijk: ik maak oa schoenen, dus precies en secuur naaien. Maar ik zou ook wel voldoende power willen om door dikkere lagen heen te komen. Die laagste 100 rpm, is dat dan de max als je vol gas geeft? Dank weer! Groet!
@erikneek
@erikneek Жыл бұрын
@@michielmarleen Ik ga het proberen uit te zoeken, welke motor ik heb. Inderdaad, als je 100 rpm hebt ingesteld en vol gas geeft, dan is de maximum snelheid 100 rpm. Stel je in op bijvoorbeeld 400 rpm, dan is de snelheid variabel - hoe verder je het pedaal indrukt, hoe sneller het gaat lopen (van 100 tot 400 rpm). Goed te weten dat een hogere instelling iets meer kracht kan geven. Dus als je er even moeilijker doorheen lijkt te komen, dan druk je vol in op 400 rpm, en laat meteen het 'gas' weer wat los. Ik kom bij je terug met de specs.
