Swapping clutch motor for servo motor - please advice

Hi,

I'd love some suggestions for a servo motor. Preferably from a distrubotor based in Europe EU to avoid import taxes and high shipping costs.

I bought a machine online from my neighbourhood but have no idea what brand it is. It could be a copy of a Highlead GC0618 (that's what the UK distrubotor said) or it is in fact that original machine.

Would love to achieve a really slow speed and also have the control of making a one stitch at the time.

From reading a lot of posts I get that the speed depends on the person installing it. I'll be getting help with that but still would like as much info as possible to learn and to make sure I get the best result possible.

Thanks!

Try college sewing, they are UK based. It's an easy swap. Nothing that the installer can do to make it faster or slower, you can set tge max speed with a button or dial depending on if you get a regular or brushless motor. I personally like the brushless

Efka is well known for good drives. Jack brand is up and coming but seem quite popular. Have not heard of the other two but chances are they are comparable. At a glance, efka would be my choice unless it's double the price.
