Description and specs from
Sailrite website:
The Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ-1 (220V)straight & zigzag stitch machine features a mechanical walking presser foot that moves forward and back in time with the feed dog to ensure that the layers of
fabric are consistently moving together through the machine. The result—heavy, bulky and even sticky fabrics like leather and window material are easily sewn with consistently symmetrical stitch lengths.
Sewn stitches can be made extra long (up to 6mm) with the variable stitch length mechanism. This reduces needle pucker for professional quality upholstery and
canvas work. Zigzag stitches can be made up to 5mm wide and can be spaced tightly enough to bind edges (on a carpet for example). The LSZ-1's unusually wide 19mm zigzag walking foot creates a large, positive contact between the foot, the feed dog and the
fabric itself. Walk over thick hems and make the transition from thick to thin without skipping stitches.
Excellent
power is provided by a 220VAC
motor that develops 8200
rpm at 0.7 amps and a cogged belt and pulley drive system. In addition, a special large diameter balance
wheel (the PowerPlus wheel) slows the machine down and dramatically enhances
power. This
wheel has been specially designed to
work with Sailrite's Posi-Pin clutching system. The Posi-Pin is a patented (#7438009) direct drive mechanism that results in 100% power transfer from the balance wheel to the machine’s needle. This novel system is much better than the typical
compression clutch which is prone to slippage in heavy materials. The machine’s power cord comes standard with a continental
Europe plug end (2 pin). Adapters for different country plugs are available separately. Variable speed operation of the
sewing machine is provided by a high quality foot control. This is a powerful, well designed machine.
