Hey everyone, I’m looking for a machine to add/replace my omega zig-zag walking foot (sail rite type machine)
I would probably still use this one for the zig-zag feature on sails, it for the general fabricating of my canvass projects, I would like to find an Industrial walking foot that can take on thick and heavy materials.

Why do you recommend?
In the past I asked about an omega with double needles, I am going to see it next Monday , but I don’t want to be closed minded.
In the past I worked a lot with a juki (don’t remember the model)
Debating on single and double needles.

I mainly make/repair boat tops, windows, repair sails and a lot more.

My little omega was good, still will be once tuned up, but a lot of parts keep breaking.
I must confess that I do ask a lot out of that machine.

So ai would like something that will keep me working for many years to come

Honestly if you are going to look at a JUKI and it is a 563 just buy it. I own 06 Industrials and all are great but the two Jukis are solid.

All I can add is I have 2 Consew 255's one an RB 2 the other an RB 3. Both absolute beasts.

Both great advice, thank you, will keep an eye out for these

Anyone used or using a Mitsubishi 4400?
I tried one yesterday and it looks very promising

Found this in a quick search.....

Not sure if that helps.

With what they said about not many being sold I'd research parts availability before purchase.

Mitsubishi made really sweet, smooth machines. So many mitsubishi clones out there.

So I ended up with a Mitsubishi lu-4400 clone.

So far it is a beast, I really love, still need to get into the learning curve with this one, never had a real servo motor, still need to find the optimum setting for it.

Will keep you all posted
