Space? There should be no space at all between the red bracket and the tension
tube. Can you take some good pictures of this area and send them to me? This is
something that I have not seen before.
Slowed it down to 1350? All testing of the machines revolved around 1200spm.
The old saying of "Just because you have a fast car that will go 250mph,
doesn't mean you are always going to drive it that way."
True, the machine does regulate speeds in certain areas on most designs, but I
believe for the most part "production time" will actually suffer when trying to
apply the max speed that the machine will run. When you take into account the
extra thread breaks, fraying and additional lubrication necessary because of
the high speed, then you haven't saved any time at all. Kind of like the old
story of the "Turdle and the Hare"....
Unless it is a very well digitized design and every thing else is set up just
exactly right, meaning...hooping, type of material, backings, machine settings,
presserfoot height, needle orientation and needle condition, good thread,
proper lubrication techniques that "do not" wait for the timers to tell you
that it is needed......and the list goes on, running the machine at maximum
speed is just not worth the bother most of the time....rarely do we run our
machines above 1200 and most of the time they run at the 1000 to 1150
range....seems to keep them happy and us too...
But, pictures would be nice. If possible, send them to...
