I have a Consew 225 that I picked up not too long ago. I’m a newbie and just learning. I think this video will help with the oiling of my machine. Your video is about as extensive as one can get in the oiling and maintenance of these machines. Excellent video, thank you!

Nice demonstration

For sure! 👍 I’m glad it is useful to ya! Thanks 🙌

Thank you so much for such a detailed video on the maintenance of the Consew206rb I had no idea that there was so much to oil! I will be following your instructions from here on! You are appreciated in the Consew world!

New Sub here this is the best video I have seen on oiling this machine, thank you

Excellent Episode Jon-san! Watching this made me want to run out and buy one of those Consew machines. Wow, what a solid build and all the stuff you can do with it. Great to see you take it apart and oil it up. The whole set up with the extra motor and the table you made for it makes it an amazing workshop tool. Thanks for your great work! And mark me down for one of your leather bag with the red blanket lining!!!!!!!!!

Well done you covered all the bases

Nice and very comprehensive, sewing machines need lots of maintenance. Nice looking products.

Thank you for the video. I had just inherited a consew machine from my grandfather and did not know the extent on taking care of the machine. now i do! Thank you!

Growing up on dirt roads and a bicycle is your mode of transportation you learn the value of keeping things clean and lubed early in life.........I've actually installed grease fittings on the wheels of my Adult Bike which has thousands of miles on it and still works like new..............A little oil or grease will save a lot of equipment from the graveyard.

A little bacon grease bacon 🥓! Especially now in the wintertime it’s good to keep things from rusting and keep a good coat on things. That’s cool about the grease fittings on your bike.

Hi Jon! I never knew how extensive the oiling ports were on commercial machines! Awesome!

Jon, thank you for posting this top-quality video! Just last week, I picked up a Consew 206 RB3. I have a servo motor ordered for it. I will also be giving it a thorough oiling!

Good info

Thank you for posting this video, Jon. I oiled my sewing machine after watching it and some of the ports with the pads were bone dry. Also, the top and bottom grease cups were in serious need of new grease. The machine runs much quieter now.

Right On! 👍✨ I’m glad to hear that! There are so many little spots that need attention! I had this machine seize up which led me to this video. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It’s nice to know that it helped out!

Great video and very instructive and thorough. I think you only missed one oil point, that is at the very top of the take-up lever. If you look down, inside the slot that the take-up lever runs in, you will see an oil hole for the top pivot.

Hey what oil would you suggest for a machine which runs on a slow speed, got a cylinder cylinder arm machine and I'm thinking about viscosity and I want to invest in a high quality oil, thanks Alot and great video

I sure would like to know what those felt “plug” that drip the oil are called and where I can get replacements?

Is there much of a difference between a Consew 206RB and a Consew 226R?

Is there supposed to be an oil pan under the 206rb

Where can I get the schematic that you are using?

Swimmingly!

Hi Jon, There are many more small holes on the machine without red paint than there are holes with red paint. Is there some order of importance attached only to the red marked holes. Are the non red marked holes of lesser importance? Thank you for your excellent videos.

@RightOnJonCrane

Right On! 👍 Thanks for watching! The red holes are for oil. There are a couple holes that are threaded and they are for a binding attachment. Other than that the remaining holes are for oil. Some of the holes you can follow to the underside and see what part they are oiling. 😃👍🤩

Hi Jon I have a 206rb-3 I put the pressure foot up And won’t come it down Any suggestions Or if anyone else has any suggestions

Hi Christine, Hmmm 🤔 I’m looking at mine now and looks like it could be caused by a few things. Are you lifting it with your knee or with the lever behind the needle?

If you don’t use the machine everyday..maybe once a week..how often should I oil it?

@RightOnJonCrane

3 күн бұрын

Yes once a week is good. If my machine sits unused for a a month I’ll oil it before using it. If I’m putting in some long hours on the machine I’ll oil it at the beginning of the day. I also look at the machine and see if has oil in the reservoirs.

In looking to buy one of these machines all it has on the tag is 206RB now 2-5 behind it. Looks very similar to this one. Has been setting up for about 5 years now. What you think should be done for maintenance side and what kind of price to offer?

Hi Dylan! These older machines are much better quality than the new Consew machines. (Talking with sewing machine mechanic friends) there is a great video. It’s a two part series on tuning up this machine. I’ll put the link below. It can take a day or more to tune it up but it is worth the effort and plus you get to learn the machine inside and out. As far as price goes. They seem to range between $500 and $1000. I’d shoot for $500 and work my way up if need be. kzread.info/dash/bejne/q2h1pbCGiJmbqqg.html

There are some manuals online that you can print off. I’d have to search for it again but that’s how I got my manual. Is your machine not running?
