Product Information

Consew 199RB-1A-2 Single Needle Drop Feed Zig-Zag Lockstitch Machine

Standard Zig-Zag, Large Bobbin, Rotary Hook, Straight Stitch & Reverse Feed

The Consew 199RB-1A-2 is a single-needle, drop-feed zig-zag lockstitch machine designed for industrial sewing applications involving leather, vinyl, canvas, cloth, lace, and similar materials. Featuring a horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook, large-capacity bobbin, reverse feed, and combination zig-zag and straight stitching capabilities, this machine is suitable for a wide range of professional sewing operations.

Designed for edge sewing, patch sewing, attaching, abutting work, applique, and binding, the 199RB-1A-2 features the standard 1A zig-zag stitch configuration (Federal Stitch Type 304). Its adjustable zig-zag width of up to 9 mm allows operators to select the appropriate stitch width for different materials and sewing applications.

The machine features a locking zig-zag width regulator, adjustable stitch length, reverse stitching, and a horizontal-axis transverse rotary hook. Its large bobbin helps reduce the frequency of bobbin changes, while the 10" (258 mm) workspace provides room for handling a variety of sewing projects.

With a maximum sewing speed of 2,500 stitches per minute, the Consew 199RB-1A-2 is designed for efficient industrial sewing operations requiring consistent zig-zag or straight lockstitch seams.

Important: The 199RB-1A-2 is manufactured with a dedicated 1A cam system that produces the standard zig-zag stitch pattern. The 1A, 2A, and 3A cam systems are factory-installed, are not interchangeable, and cannot be changed after manufacture.

The 1A stitch configuration produces a standard zig-zag lockstitch pattern suitable for edge sewing, patch sewing, attaching, applique, binding, and other industrial sewing operations.

The machine's zig-zag width selector allows operators to adjust the stitch width according to the sewing operation and material. When the zig-zag width is set to 0 mm, the machine performs straight lockstitch sewing.

The locking zig-zag width regulator helps maintain the selected stitch width, while the adjustable stitch-length dial allows operators to control stitch length. Reverse stitching provides a convenient method for reinforcing seams.

Important: The 1A cam system is permanently configured during manufacture. The 199RB-1A-2 cannot be converted into a 2A or 3A machine by replacing its cam.
