Where do I find used heavy duty industrial sewing machines?
Please be careful about buying a heavy duty industrial machine. I made the mistake about buying one that claimed that it was. When I took it to the shop for maintenance and servicing I was told that what I bought was an ordinary household machine with a beefier motor. The service technician told me that a industrial sewing machine would be all metal, in a table, with a huge motor and maybe a compressor. You might see an industrial machine at your local cleaners. Most of them seem to be Jukis. I bought an old black Singer 66-16. It will sew through heavy weight materials, but it definetly is not a commcercial heavy duty machine. Go to your local sewing machine shop and ask them if they have any industrial machines. I’m sure they’ll say they don’t but could offer something that can take heavy tasks. Good luck.
