- Rex RX-607Z zig zag identical to Omega, Tuff Sew and Others. 1.5 amp motor. Super solid and easy to operate once you have the tension settings dialed in. No stitch length marks, is the only flaw of the machine, but I guess that is up to you. The cheapest portable walking foot machine for sale. Sews thick materials well. No base included, I had to build one out of 2x4's.
Have not used a sewing machine in years - have to thank you. you are a life saver
That's a good video. You covered my questions. That is a cool stand for the machine.
You rock 🎸
I was trying to figure out why it kept tangling now I know thanks
PLS MAKE MORE VIDEOS
I just got mine in. I bought it for the price and the amount of projects I plan on doing. I won't be doing this but for a few projects and didn't want to spend a 700-1000 for a machine. So first thing I did was take all the covers off test tighten all the screws took and oiled it over and over till all the black oils went away, ( metal and oil plus what ever the may have coated it for shipping across the ocean ( salt water ) ) I ran it for about 20-30 mins oiling it over and over. It started running smother now I will let it sit for a day for all the excess oil to drain away then wipe it down again. So this is a budget machine and you need to be thinking it's a budget machine. It may last years sewing a few things here and there or it could. Crap out in a few months. But either way it's still cheaper then paying someone todo what you can do on a budge setup.
These machines are so underrated. I just got the Omega version, replaced the foot pedal with an old style analog and poured lead around the flywheel then machined it (8lbs now!). Works fantastic for the price. The friction clutch sucks so it's been disabled. I just rewind with the needle moving at zero position.Took a hook, bobbin case, bracket, and metal retainers from a 50 year old sears and they fit in perfect - and way better than the originals. Before the swap it would occasionally skip stitches on the bottom full out. Now it's hooking perfect every time.These machines will fit into a standard case of those old Singers.Even including upgrading to a Cuda Crank (Sail Rite Monster flywheel) everything was only 40% the cost of a basic LSZ-1 Sailrite.I don't think they're ideal machines for leather, but great for canvas, vinyl and denim.Cheers!

It sounds like you really know these machines. I came across a Model 607 today in a pawnshop for $160.00 out the door. It looks new or without any scratches , but did notice the bobbin case was missing. From what you said they're the old universal cage so hopefully I can use that to get the price down some more and not be hurting. They give like a 7 day return policy so in 7 days I should know what I've gotten. The cheapest I seen them was $250 online. Is there anything I should check beside noticing the bobbin cage was missing?
You ought to make video on setting walking foot timing. It is not completely like the nailrights. Also the presser foot bars screw holes are spaced further than rex. Takes some modifications. All metric threads.
That tension needs adjustment you had quite the birdsnest under your webbing it looked like
I'm interested in the dimensions of the 2 x 4 stand the machine is sitting on.
I like that idea.
Thanks for the video.. Do you think it would do leather holsters? Jim
Where did you get the wooden base box? I would love one for my RX607z too! Thank you for your help!
Hello, I am looking at stitching non slip rubber type material onto webbing, have you used similar materials? Just wondering how the walking foot works with non slip tacky material? Hard to tell in the video if one of the feet is always in contact, if so it might make it difficult?
Thx!
I would like to know if they have foot to put piping and foot with guides for this model
put your thread through the needle bar thread guide.
Apparently Sailrite sells a stitch length plate with better controls and marks. Is this machine really loud or is it just the way the mic picked up the sound?
I don't see external comments about the Rex. I wonder now that you've had it awhile, would you recommend it? For the price, it seems too good to be true. Your thoughts? thanks, rr
Why are the legs so far apart and looks much different than typical walking foot from Pfaff, Consew, or Juki?
does the machine sew light to medium weight fabrics?
Remake video I could not figure out how you threaded this machine; your camera too far away and your hands blocked what I needed to see. Especially, in threading the bobbin. Did you make the tray it sits in? Nice, I need to build one to replace the plastic case tray
Hi, what are you fabricating? I notice some large cones of thread and some stacks of material. just curious as to what you sew / sell -nick
+toobglued, Hi, I sew horse bridles, www.ultimatebitlessbridle.com
no, no, sail right is its own make, but there are several others that have rebranded this model
where can you get parts wsw 607
Would you still recommend?
Why is it so difficult to find a decent walking foot machine for hobbyists? I have been searching on a definitive verdict on which one to buy to be able to sew, say 2 layers of 5 oz leather pieces on a regular basis. My recent buys have been a Pfaff 130, which I am trying to put together to make it work and test, and a Pfaff 1222e with a walking foot, which I am waiting to be delivered this week. What I am afraid of now is that both buys will not stand up to my requirements. So, for a hobbyist like me who wants to set up a start up small business, which is the best first walking foot machine I should buy? Thanks, in advance.
Craiglist. Look for xn old industrial singer walking foot. I found a singer compound talking foot with a servo motor and a few spools of thread for $400 that will walk all over this rex machine.
If you dont need a walking foot there are many industrial straight stich machines in the $200 range. Juki consew singer etc. These are typically production machines that will rip 1000 stiches in seconds wot.
These old industrial machined will outlive your kids.
Not sure of the dimensions, I just sized it to the machine. I sold it and no longer have it.
I have a Rex 607 and it is not stitching, the mechanics are functioning but it is not picking up the bobbin thread. Any ideas on possible trouble shooting? Thanks!
I'd start with the hook
Might just need polished or file work or sanded ,just a guess tho
My machine only does zigzag stitch. How to make it straight stitch?
The lever that goes from 0 to 5 needs to be set at 0.
I noticed that you didn't go through the hole above the needle. Is there a reason for that?
If I didn't, I should have. Yes must machines will have a guide right above the needle to go through
Hmm not bad
Is this a rebrand of the sailrite walking foot machine??
Nope. these are all clones of early singer machines.
I appreciate your resourcefulness with the base. This video is now 31/2 years old.... HOw has the machine held up over time? How much do you use it?
Sold it, it didn't sew thick enough for me, but these are all metal, heavy duty well constructed machines
what type of bobbin is in the unit?
Hello...was wondering if you still love your machine after owning it for a while now, and have you encountered any problems in that time?
No, I sold it. I use Husqvarna Viking 6440 or 6570 for most my sewing now. Better motor and power.
@@JeffDrumm did you have issues with it?
@@JeffDrumm would you recommend this machine?
@@OKVanAutoUpholsteryBellGardens yes, it handles thick thread and sew through any material. The only limitation for me was that the presser foot would not lift up high enough to get my super thick material underneath that was about 0.5" thick
@@JeffDrumm thank you Jeff
Noob Question: How do you thread the bobbin? There's really nothing in the instructions for that.
Any idea why my thread keeps pulling out of the needle? I can't seem to figure it out!
On the first Stitch you always have to hold the top thread and the bobbin thread with your fingers for at least two stitches and then you can let go. That is just what happens especially when you have tension on the plates.
@@JeffDrumm thank you.
I bought this machine second hand and now I am fiddling with tension, etc.
Thankfully, your video shows how to thread since the manuals way wasn't working.
By the way, what do you usually keep your thread tension at?
Thanks.
@@cathysUtubeXOXO it depends on the material you are sowing to what tension you need, for instance I so a lot of very thick dense materials and keep my attention between 8 and 10, but if you are sewing something thin like lightweight silk or something you would want the tension very low around 3 or 4 maybe
@@JeffDrumm thank you.
Geez - look at that rat's nest on the bottom side! Is that a tension issue?
paxfish . yep. I saw the nesting underneath too.
I needed to see the needle position and your head was blocking it.
Hello this machine can sew clothes?
This wasn't really a review at all, you just showed us how it worked. We know what a sewing machine does.
lol i saw a nest under side. you didn't want to show that .
No, you are incorrect, the stitches picked up perfectly.
meh. had one of these...didn't realize how quick I'd outgrow it and sold it.
You skipped over the freaking part I needed to see. You disengage the motor how?
Hola Kitty it’s just like any other sewing machine. On the hand wheel, there is a silver stop motion screw; while holding the hand wheel, grab the inner stop motion screw, rotate counter clockwise. It may be very difficult to do. But once unscrewed it disengages so you can wind bobbin.
Will this machine except a external servo motor?
I'm sure that it will, I've never seen it setup like that, I think you would just have to find the right belt size.
@@JeffDrumm I'm hoping it will fit into my table where i have my Singer 101. That way i can use my big pedal that is alread installed.
This shows me absolutely nothing on how to actually spread the machine or how to install the Bobben. Plus the camera is halfway across the room when you were threading the machine. If you could actually show some close-ups On how you are routing the thread And installing the Bobben
There are several errors and omissions in this video. First, all the hullabaloo thread path for winding the bobbin. Just create straight path for the thread and provide friction wit finger. Second, you don’t just wrap thread around the upper tension disk - you must wrap thread over the tension hook and under the check spring. Third, you need to be through the thread guide just above the needle on the needle bat. Forth, you need to thread the top thread through the hole in the foot. All in all, a pretty poor video - look for better. This guy is a hack. I’m surprised he can get it to sew. If he can, anyone can.
Definitely followed the manual for winding a bobbin but this machine was a piece of crap anyway, which is why I got rid of it. Husqvarna sewing machines do so much better and cost less. FYI, I sew for a living not sure what you do.
This is the worst place to learn how to thread your machine. Look at the sail rite leatherwork machine video to learn how to do it the rite way.
please learn how to use a camera before your next video
Typically when showing the quality of a stitch, you also show the reverse side. This is not a review. You need to change the title.
That the same question I had. Why don't you show the bottom side of the stitching?
Wow... pretty terrible
