Would other Touch & Sew models (ie 630, 648) also be all metal slant needles?

Hello, I just wanted to say the 611G also happens to have steel gears, however it sadly doesn’t have the auto-reel mechanism 😔

Hi, I have a Singer 620 and a Singer 740. They have plastic gears and, sorry, you can see it in the stitch! It doesn't have that perfect result as an Elna Special(1969) or the Phoenix. Maybe the ones with metal gears give better results. I love the extra parts, but with Singer's history that is not surprising.

Tengo una máquina de coser Singer modelo 600 Fue la primera en utilizar el devanado mientras funciona la máquina La dejé por tener los piñones o engranajes de hierro o acero

I have one with metal gears. and I am on year 53 of using it! I love it... and the wind in bobbin. Hubby keeps it lubricated for me. Mine was next to top of the line when I got it back in 1966.....Made all my clothes back then...believe me, it has been used a LOT.

Mirrors my experience exactly; it was considered top of the line when I bought it and I still consider it that. I had four children and I sewed for all of them, even made suits for the boys. Still works like new.

I just bought a Slantomatic 600 with the man ual but no accessories for $5 at a yard sale. All metal and the insides look great. I haven't started to get it adjusted as I need to read the whole book to familiarize myself with it. I haven't sewed since learning on my mother's old Dressmaker machine in the late 50's early 60's, but can't wait to get to work with it. Any suggestions? I lubricated it first.

How does one adjust the bobbin winding on a 600 slant-o-matic? Mine sews great, but refuses to wind bobbins anymore.

One of the reasons "bobbin winding" may be problematic may possibly be something as simple as the bobbins you are using. I bought some that were "Chinese made" and they did not have the proper configuration on the bottom of the bobbin to "catch" it when the winder is engaged.. I ending up throwing away some I purchased and found "genuine Singer" bobbins on line on the "Cutex" site and they seem perfect..

the bobbins only hold 20 yards. I do small projects and prefer the small amount of thread.
