![]() ![]() I must add here that some machines use very common easy to find general purpose motor belts inside as well as on the motor. Belts are fine as long as they hold, and they are usually a lot more robust than plastic gears, but they too eventually break leaving the owner with a nightmare of finding a replacement. Some machines use timing belts instead of shafts. I wouldn’t object at all to a plastic body for a sewing machine, but it appears that if there’s plastic on the outside, there is also plastic on the inside.Īnother thing I am weary about, is belts. I am not actually opposed to plastic as such. Surely, if you found it necessary to paint your plastic silver, it means you didn’t think people would accept a plastic part there? Pathetic. It is even less acceptable to have parts of the hook race mechanism made of plastic and painted in silver colour, as I’ve seen a few times. It is not acceptable to have plastic gears or tin shafts, they just don’t last. Cast alluminium may also be used on parts that are not load bearing, such as the body casing or some parts of the feed mechanism. This is first of all solid mechanical construction with all hardened steel parts. ![]() Short answer: I cannot afford new machines of quality that I require, and I cannot afford to waste money on machines within my budget.
