- Let's explore the Consew CSM1000, and talk about why this inexpensive servo motor is probably the one you want to buy!
Find it here:
amzn.to/2CZGZq3
Or, with a needle positioner here:
amzn.to/2BwntkX
The other motor featured in this video, which I would NOT buy:
amzn.to/2BJT70H
Reasons why I think the Consew CSM 1000 is THE motor to buy:
- FAR more adjustments available than any other motor I am aware of. If you don't want to drill new holes in your table top, or buy a new belt, this is the motor to buy! If you have a hard-to-fit machine that had a 'custom' clutch motor, like the old serger in this video, there really is no other way to go!
- One of the least expensive servo motors available
- Controls and adjustments are mounted front-and-center
- Speed control can be moved ANYWHERE on your table for custom applications. Some people put the speed controller directly on the pedal.
- Availability of a 50mm pulley, for even slower speed and more torque. Perfect for leather-workers.
Things I don't like:
- OLDER versions, and CSM1001 models with a needle positioner do not have a power plug (for a light) at the back of the control unit.
- Smaller 50mm pulley is available, but is not a standard shaft size nor widely available. This pulley is $15: www.ebay.com/i/232454591195
Nobody paid me to make this video! I bought this motor, this sewing machine, etc. with my own money. I make videos to try and help other people with interests similar to my own. - Jak na to + styl
DUDE - YOU ROCK!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! This is an EXCELLENT video - clear pictures and steady video (not jolting all over the place), informative (without a bunch of unnecessary babble-bla-bla-bla), good sound (not a bunch of background noise) plus you have a very nice voice! I'm helping my husband re-build a 1941 Willys Coupe and now we're working on the interior upholstery (some of it sew-foam backed vinyl) so a friend who buys all sorts of things @ auctions loaned us a Mitsubishi Industrial Walking Foot sewing machine he'd picked up somewhere, and about which we're all learning its operation, parts, etc. Through other research I learned of the "servo motor" for speed control but had no clue what/where to buy. We really appreciate the time and care you took to make this great video for *public consumption* (thanks, CZcams!) as you've covered everything we needed to know. By the way, that little ol' Union Special serger of your is a delight - what a beautiful machine! We're in IL, McHenry County, and the Union Special factory that's been there since 1881 is just down the road from us - we drive by it all the time! So - -again, many thanks, happy sewing, and God bless!
Thanks, this is one of the nicest comments I've received on CZcams. Good luck with the Willys!
Great information! I just finished installing the consew 1000, added the 45 mm pulley, and 3/8 V belt on my 1948 singer 16-188 leather belt industrial walking foot machine! What a great reduction in speed! I use it for leather work!! I did use the plug on the back for the light!!
Thanks for this video. I just finished installing a CSM 1000 for use with a Reliable Sailrite "knockoff". The slower speed and control are very significant benefits. I am about to start a large project through 5 layers of very dense material. My experimental runs have gone perfectly. Thanks again!
Wow. Great video my neighbor gave me his industrial Singer, rare or lets say not common enough to have info online much. A W103. No numbers. Some of the setting are inside! Luckily the son in law of another neighbor saw it outside when we were putting an Armstrong floor in my room and he has a sail making shop back east. Knows all old machines. So he showed me basics but the clutch motor is scary and thread is wrong for it too. So now I tangled it. Love all you said here but I’m learning 8 different brands of vintage sewing machines. Going to teach sewing soon and all need a few parts. Just looking things up. Will probably watch this again when I know more or ready to change motors. This one sounds great. Really want to use the industrial as I’m making purses from jeans and other heavier materials. Love that serger. Been sewing 50 years but never realized all the styles of vintage machines.
exactly, I put the CSM1000 on my Juki 562, what a difference from the old clutch motor, like a whole new machine
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a Reliable SewQuiet on one machine and I'm looking for a servo for another. I found your tips very helpful!
Very, very helpful, thorough explanation.
Great information! I learned some stuff, Thank you.
Just the fact that you commented might be the best compliment I have ever received! I love your videos and they inspired me to get further into sewing canvas. I just hope that some day I can learn to make videos as good as yours. Thanks! :)
Thank you for these demo's, they are so helpful I'm just contacted the seller to see if it will fit my Brother industrial DA1 B712 just waiting for reply
ok im sold, i ordered one,,,,thanks
Thank you for the video, valuable information. I am trying to get a union special overlocker on a budget and just wanted to ask if you knew where to find a comprehensive list of models?
I took your advice, I ordered one with the positioner. The motor works great, glad I bought the smaller pulley. I installed the needle positioner. I was hoping that I would be able to program the machine for needle up or needle down but after working through all the settings I cannot get this programmed. Also, my CSM 1001 did come with a plug for the light. Im going to return this for one that I can set the needle position on. This is on my conesew 118 walking foot machine.
I've been getting reports that not all the motors\controllers are the same, even with the same model number. On mine, you can set needle up or needle down. Sorry about that!
Hi, thanks for the great video. Could you please clarify one thing I saw. When you were serging on the blue vinyl, I noticed you increased speed a little. Did you do that by foot pedal or by actually changing the setting on the controller? I have a “Sewline” version that looks much like the CSM, BUT, mine is either on or off with the pedal. No throttling in between. Thanks again.👍🏻
I did that with the pedal; if you are only having on-off control, you likely need to adjust the arm or linkage at the controller. I'd imagine your limit adjustment is preventing you from accessing the upper speeds. Your controller also may have settings you can adjust (mode/memory buttons) to limit the top speed.
Awesome Build! Where did you find the bracket between the table and motor mount to allow the perfect angle?
Hi! That bracket is part of the original Union Special machine and it's original giant clutch motor.
Great video. Are you still happy with the servo motor? I am about to order one and want to make sure your review still reflects your opinion. Thanks!
Yup! Still great.
Hi. Thanks for video. My motor just went out and need to find one. Would u recommend just getting the whole package with needle position?
Either way; if you think you might like the positioner, and it's not too much extra, it's nice to have. Setting up the positioner can be a pain depending on your machine though.
Hi there,
thanks for the video...I just bought a CSM 1001. I got it installed OK on my Juki DDL 8700 but after adjusting the position of the motor for the belt tension the belt guard was way off and I can't figure out how to rotate the back plate of the belt guard so I can put on the cover and still clear the belt. Any suggestions? I'm just sewing without the guard now, which is fine, I'm just curious about how it should be done, or if I just need to get a shorter belt.
Also, any clue where I can find out how to install the needle positioner? I'm pretty clueless about that one.
Thanks,
Libby
Hi Libby! I've run into this also. I'd suggest you find the ideal position for the motor, without the belt on, and then use your normal tailor's tape-measure wrapped around both pulleys to find the size of a belt that would work for that position. I usually buy belts on Amazon or the local auto parts store. The part number for the belt you need will be 3LXXY where XX is the number of inches, and Y is the fractional inch. For example, 3L305 would be a 30.5 inch belt of type 3L, which is what you want for an industrial sewing machine. Also, as you've found, running without the guard can solve some problems. As for the positioner, you will have to make up the mounting points yourself. I'd start by removing the end-cap on your hand-wheel and installing the positioner on the shaft of the machine (you'll notice the included hardware gives you different options.) As for the bracket, I've seen them mounted to guards, the machines drilled-and-tapped for the bracket, or you might have to make your own bracket. Assuming you have a drill, some drill bits, and some pliers or a vice: If you need to move the mounting bracket for the positioner, or make a new one, you can buy some thin aluminum flat-bar at a hardware store and bend it into a shape to make a bracket that can relocate the mounting position. I'm sorry if that description isn't very illustrative; mounting the bracket for the positioner is a matter of making it up as you go along. Good luck!
Thank you so much. That is very helpful information!
Do you know if the needle positioner will work on a 111w155 Singer ?
It works on machines of that class, but I do not know if it will work on that specific model, sorry.
It sounds like and looks like what I am needing. What I do not have and cannot find is a pedal to attach to the furnished rod to operate the speed. When I type in foot pedals on Amazon I get all kinds, but not what I need. Thanks
Hey Kent, I can help! amzn.to/2PRTZqR or, if you want a smaller and more classic style (usually used for foot lift or reverse), I have used these, and have been impressed with them for the price: amzn.to/36Mccw6
I do not know what I am doing wrong, but I have typed both addresses that you gave me and amazon says I am doing something wrong and doesn't show anything. I triple checked to be sure I typed it correctly?
@@kentofferman64 You can search for "Foot Treadle Pedal Industrial Sewing Machine" if the links don't work. The links might only work if you click them rather than type them.
Thanks for the video. No problems with the installation. My wife's problem is adjusting the speed. I understand that I can, I would just like a bit of assistance getting there. Help?
The instructions are a little confusing from Consew, but the basic idea is you press R once, you see UO, you press M and it shows the current speed. Press M again to change the speed. The lower the number the slower. Press R again to save the speed and you are ready to go. Having to press R again is what usually trips people up.
From Consew:
ADJUST SPEED SETTING
1. PRESS THE R BUTTON, YOU WILL SEE UO
2. PRESS THE M BUTTON. IT WILL SHOW YOU THE SPEED THE MOTOR IS CURRENTLY ON
3. CONTINUE TO PRESS THE M BUTTON UNTIL YOU REACH THE DESIRED SPEED
EXAMPLE: 5= 500, 12= 1200
4. PRESS THE R BUTTON TO SAVE THE SPEED THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN
I'm thinking of getting a Rex 607z walking foot machine and swapping out its small motor for this one, and put the Consew CSM1000 on a heavy table...how would this motor work not hanging but being above upon the table?
Thanks for watching my video - A few things: 1) I have owned a Rex 607z, as well as the Sailrite version, and a number of other machines large and small. With tuning, the Rex 607z will FUNCTION, but for the sewing most people want to do, a used industrial walking foot machine will be money MUCH better spent, ESPECIALLY if you are already planning on changing the motor. Check Craigslist diligently in your area! 2) The Rex 607z does not use the same kind of large V-belt as used on this type of motor, so you would have to solve that problem. 3) I actually have a video on inverting this motor and using it on top of a table: czcams.com/video/hswEdAzv5Zk/video.html I don't want to start an argument on the Sailrite\Thomson clone machines, but even if they always worked perfectly, I really think a used industrial machine, used Sailrite, or even a vintage heavy duty drop feed portable (I really like the Pfaff 3xx and 2xx models from the 50s and 60s) is a better investment.
Thanks. i already purchased the Rex 607z. I'm in the Pacific NW and no good deals on a walking foot machine. What is the diameter of the CSM1000 shaft or pulley bore, please? Any suggestion on where to get cogged pulleys?
I ordered a motor and I got the servo was 😡 but after listening to the video I changed my mind thanks you
I love your sewing table. Btw, what pedal do you need with these motors?
Any generic industrial tip-pedal and linkage will work fine! I've used both the sheet metal variety and the big heavy cast iron kind. If you want to get fancy, you can also divorce the control box from the motor (as mentioned in the video) and make your own pedal from a scrap of plywood or plastic sheet. Hard to explain in a comment, but it would make perfect sense if you had the motor and control box in front of you :)
@@wood-canvas-fiberglass1514 So you can use an old school carbon pile pedal? I would have expected it would have taken a solid state controller of some kind that sent the pedal state with PWM or something.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 The controller that measures the pedal state is built into the motor, but can also be removed and relocated, or manipulated directly. If you look at my other videos, I have one about sewing using a rolling cart on the floor where you can see how the controller can be adapted. Hopefully that clears it up for you :)
@@wood-canvas-fiberglass1514 Oh I see now. So you just need to set up some kind of linkage like you said in your first reply! : )
Sir need to 5 mottor.
im considering to buy the cheapest servo motor in aliexpress for 60€...
