Review: Techsew 2750 pro Cylinder arm leather sewing machine

[@whitandpark]

So last night I scheduled the upload/premiere for 12pm and then completely spaced it!! haha so anyway, sorry I wasn't in the live chat. Thanks for watching:) What are your thoughts on this machine??

[@paulj3653]

It looks a nice machine Parker. NPS I guess will take some getting used to. Great news about BABY and hope Whit is well.

[@gumwap1]

Your machine’s timing is actually slightly off. Notice how the material actually moves backward ever-so-slightly right before the needle penetrates. This is sometimes simply a matter of your inside (front) presser foot not being completely slid onto its driver.

[@GastonShutters]

Thanks man. Keep these partnerships coming. You do you to continue to support the channel. People these days want everything for free and on top of that they want you to finance their education 😂

[@shadoe1769]

Haters gonna hate, as long as you're not hurting anyone, make money where every you find it available. Helping others with the information is a great bonus for us floating around the interweb.

[@whitandpark]

Appreciate that Mark!

[@drice3233]

Seeing this not quite 2 years since you did it. To address the affiliate situation you spoke of. I don't care at all that you affiliate. I think it is unrealistic for people to expect you not to do this. As long as you are upfront and admit the situation (as you always do) and give truthful information and good pros and cons on your reviews, I say have at it. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement that you provide less experienced makers. I am shopping around for a class 4 machine right now as I am tired of hand stitching and want to move to the next level. My desire to move to the next level is greatly inspired by you (and others) doing these videos. Thank you!

[@lauraweiss7875]

I just spoke to Ron and ordered the exact same machine. I’m so excited!

[@cleathercrafts]

Firstly, congrats on the addition to your family, Parker! You guys deserve all the happiness and support in the world:) Secondly, you're honesty is honourable and you need not feel deterred by nay-sayers. It's easy for people to criticise and take things for granted when you don't understand how much work it takes to make a living out of doing what you love, keeping up an internet presence and supporting your family to boot! You guys are inspiring and you gotta do what you gotta do. And you manage it whilst keeping us all invested in your journey. So thank you:)

[@robertbutler4393]

Love my Techsew 2750 pro. Bought it out of Montreal in Nov 2018 as a beginner leather sewer after lots of research. Your comment about Ron & staff is bang on. As a beginner, that was a huge advantage. As I learned a bit more, l began to realize how important some of the great features of the machine are that were not always available on other machines. Great machine. Great support. I’m very impressed.

[@pdee4071]

hey there, did you find you needed to add a speed reducer or was the servo able to be set at a slow enough speed? I have a speed reducer on my flatbed as I prefer a slow and controlled stitch.

[@robertbutler4393]

@@pdee4071 I purchased a speed reducer but have not yet installed it. In fact, now that I’ve had a little experience with the 2750 I find the servo motor runs slowly enough that I’m pretty satisfied. I will eventually install the reducer. But I’m in no hurry, at this point.

[@garygiles9177]

I love my Techsew 5100. I have had it for 3 years, never has a needle broken, all it has ever asked of me is periodic cleaning and regular oil. Good luck with yours!

[@whitandpark]

Gary Giles glad to hear that Gary! Doesnt surprise me at all

[@pdee4071]

Hey Gary, what kind of leather do you sew with the 5100, trying to decide between that and the 2750 like Parker, but worried the 5100 might be overkill.. also worried that the 2750 might not be enough for some of my bags where I need to go through 3 layers.

[@moedisidube189]

Congratulations for the Baby

[@torontognome9829]

Congrats Parker and Wit on new baby. I have to say i love the content you all are producing it has helped me start my journey in leather work. Parker dont worry about the haters you can tell with your excitement if you believe the tool or method will work and you can see the hesitation if your unsure on something. So dont think of yourself as a paid drone selling whatever cause you are helping me at lest. Have a wonderfull time with family going to be a rough time for daddy the next couple weeks lol

[@whitandpark]

haha I really appreciate that! Thank you:)

[@jeffmoore6446]

1st off, congrats to you and yours on the new addition... I'm talking about the baby not the machine. Hope and pray baby and mama are doing well. Thanks for the upload and I'll have to take a closer look at this machine now. I love those sharp turns and it looks like that will save loads of time... Which you will need. Thanks again! Very Respectfully, Jeff

[@whitandpark]

Thanks so much Jeff! Everyone's doing well:)

[@wilkbor]

I've watched this video for the second time and have a few additional thoughts: thanks for the video. Congratulations to you and your growing family. I appreciate the candor about a paid sponsorship. Finally, a request: when you have some time, can you do a video on a project that would be difficult or impossible on a flatbed machine? Show us how the cylinder arm enables you to make something that would be hard or impossible on a flatbed. Thanks and congratulations again. KB.

[@nikoss1179]

You said the tension "looks pretty good" but I had to pause the vid when you did the quick flip over. The tension is not good as you can see the loops sticking out from the bottom of the leather. Don’t know if you’re being misleading but that quick flip over looks like you’re trying to hide it.

[@Farroutman1]

I've made my decision. I'm going to purchase this for sure. Not only have I been looking for a quality machine. I have also been looking for some backing on this. I'm new to using machines and at this price point is seems like a deal right in my ballpark. Thank you for the quick simple review and congrats on the new addition to the family. Keep doing what you're doing! I love it!

Congratulations on the Babyy , over 12 years ago i bought myself a Chines Clone Industrial walking Foot Sewing Machine off of Ebay mainly for sewing Marine Cambas and Vinyl because i wanted to do my own Boat Canvas and Vintl plus Vintage Car Interiors ironically it was my very first Ebay purchase and i got exactly what i was promised as the Machine worked right out of the box and is still going today if anything that was done incorrectly is that the seller kind of underestimate the Machines ability

[@LukeDorny]

Congrats! Also, looks like a killer equipment combo. Nice choice.

[@LukeDorny]

Strange that this unison feed actually takes the leather backwards and forwards while stitching. Slow down viewing speed to .25x speed to see it at @8:25

[@jandksplend]

I think the partnerships are an excellent idea!!!

[@davidmurillo9601]

Have you tried to make bags on this machine? When I try to sew gussets with this machine I find that the table gets in the way. The U shaped opening is too narrow...seems like it would be better served on a pedestal table to allow for stiff bags to turn without obstruction

[@InspiralJez]

great video, thanks. could you use this to to stitch a welt on shoes or boots?

[@prdlaserandleather6897]

I have been wondering are you going to do another video after you now have had this machine for a bit and what’s good about it tips and tricks for it.

[@whitandpark]

Definitely! It’s one of the first videos I have planned when I get back into uploading videos. Been hunkered down working on an online course for leather workers but as soon as I’m done I’ll be back making videos ASAP

If I do pull the trigger on it. I may have to flip the coin on whether I use your affiliate link or Ryan's. You've both helped sell it.

Are you still loving your texsew after 2 years?

[@clinchco8955]

Hey could you do video on your machine with setting up everything. I bought the 2750 pro because of this video. However I have had nothing but bad quality with the machine leaving marks on my leather. After messing with tension on pressure foot and feed dog nothing is really helping

[@jandksplend]

This happened with my Sailrite at first. I then purchased their leather light foot and no more marks. Does Techsew have a leather foot?

[@dmmdmm5435]

I could go and look up the specs myself. I'm left with so many questions. But it would be a more comprehensive video if you covered and showed stitch length adjustment (yes or no). Lubrication, highest and lowest speeds, different presser foot choices, threading, do's and don'ts, tension, etc you know...All the stuff that matters in day to day use. You did a good job this time around, but I've seen you cover other machines in a way that left me with no questions. Cheers

[@belindaleighfrazier8165]

Hey there, does this machine compare to the juki? and does this machine do bags and take the place of a domestic machine???

[@jailer23044]

I've been looking at Techsew for awhile as well as others for when I'm ready to buy a machine. Unfortunately all the machines seem to be a bit out of my price range, someday I'll probably buy a 5100. Partnering with Techsew and Tandy is a smart move and I never feel like I'm being thrown a sales pitch by your videos. There are those on youtube who make sponsored videos and they feel like sales pitches which along with the 5 ads from youtube in the 10min video starts to get under my skin.

[@uptopmikep7065]

[@monicaharmon8441]

One of my biggest issues is topstitching. How close to the edge of your leather can you sew? I need no more than 1/8" stitching from the edge for straps and the top of bags. Can this machine do this or can you recommend a different machine

[@lynle1083]

Hi 👋Any difference of opinion since making this review? Do you still own/use this machine?

Hi, I have a question. Is it possible to attach a roller foot on this type of walking foot machine?

[@dmmdmm5435]

I'm looking at getting a 2150. "Cylinder arm, walking foot, zigzag". Industrial sewing machine man carries it. Question: where do you shop for techsew needs, are parts readily available and where do get them ? Example: tension assembly, bobbin case, presser foot, bobbins, ect. Thanks pal ! Love your videos.

hey Parker! What kind of leather splitter do you have on your bench?

[@danbarnhill297]

I like your passion and your honesty about the machine and it's functions. Also a lot of a post tree for boats and yachts and I'm still looking for the right machine that will give me a good nice long stitch upper and lower and i'm curious what your thoughts are on that. I've had console as I have had praff and several others. I currently have a sailrite which is a heavy duty walking foot but it is a portable one.

[@systemunderground]

Does it have a speed reducer or you are just using the servo motor that comes with the machine?

[@whitandpark]

you can definitely slow it down with a servo but not nearly as much as you can with the servo + speed reducer. It's basically a bigger pulley so it changes the gearing and gives you a lot more torque and stability. If you're mostly working with leather, it's worth getting a reducer. Most new leather machines come with them

[@jandksplend]

Do you know what causes impressions in the leather from the pressure feet and how to fix it?

[@Krisszhu1990]

Thats the pressure foot itself. Usually you can change the setting on how strong it presses against the fabric/leather. You need a firm force but not too much so it wont leave a mark. I would suggest you do some tests with scrap leather, and note yourself what pressure is OK for which type of leather :) Good luck!
