Lee Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 No really! I don't think the customer is going to be complaining, the welts have had every stitch picked out, the new soles stitched on, no nails through the waists. the broken down back lining stitching replaced (at no charge) & the dry salt stained uppers cleaned, polished & protected. Now I do know its these details that have kept this customer coming for years. I also know he wouldn't get this level of repair anywhere else locally & certainly not in 3 hours.

Lee Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 not as a rule of thumb. but occasionally you have to go with the flow. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Now, back on Topic. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to make a fitting for the 'stitch picker' In America, the attachment fits to the brush section which spins slower than the other two motors, Trimmer and Scouring. The slow speed allows the tool to work, without doing any damage to the upper. Therefore, it is not possible to retro fit the tool to your finishers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Can't it be a bolt on attachment to the brush section instead of an iron or made to fit a bench grinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 In the USA they have different machines where it is possible to mount an attachment like this but most machines in uk you cannot as you wont be able to get a shoe around in the space. A bench grinder would also be too fast. You would need something like a patcher motor but then you are looking at enormous costs, another option if you could get the attachment might be mounting a variable speed drill/screwdriver to a bench but again, costs and getting the attachment.

keithm Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I concur, stick to a hand tool, it's almost as quick, my opinion, and a lot cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
