Need needles for my

#8

Miller Fulks #1687 Sandra; The "Correct" needle for the #8 is a 126x1 needle. They are no longer manufactured but occasionally some might turn up. This is also the needle replicated by the Boye #27 tube. These needles have a 1.75mm diameter round shank with a length to eye of 38.9mm.? There are however a couple of readily available, economically priced needles available which can be used. These are the 128x1 & the DBx1 needles. ? ?Both of these needles have a length to eye of 33.9mm so have to be pulled down off the stop by about 5mm. The 128x1 needle has a round shank of 1.75mm while the DBx1's round shank is 1.64mm. In any case the eye has to be aligned which is no big deal. Just remember the W&W machines (Other than the curved needle ones) thread right to left so the long groove goes to the right. There is no absolute dating for these machines, however if you will send me the SN I might can narrow the range a bit.? Miller/TN?

How sensitive should I expect the WW8 be to that ~5mm? Is it closer to +/-0.1 mm or +/- 1mm? I'm about to start cleaning and getting my WW8 up and running. Also, I had a fun find with this machine... there was a WW MFG Co number 4 needle in the needle bar!?!? I'm so glad that I didn't just absent-mindedly toss out the needle w/out taking a close look at it. I wonder how old that needle is and how long it has been since this machine was actually used. (Also, sorry I don't have any fancy digital calipers, so no pics w/measurements... yet ? ) -Joshua/TX
Linda Glatczak All Messages By This Member #4363 开云体育 I’m anxious to see pictures of your new W&W 8. I just found one at flea market. Was in cabinet. Had most of the attachments, 4 bobbins, 4 glass feet, needles and a mouse chewed owner’s manual that I was able to make copies of on my printer/ copier. Will be working on getting it cleaned up and running soon.? Also recently got a Singer 9W and a W&W 9 for parts or restoration. Love the unique look of these machines.? Hope you have good luck finding all the parts you need to get your machine going. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On May 5, 2024, at 10:48 AM, Joshua Rivers via groups.io <joshua.rvrs@...> wrote: ?On Thu, Nov 12, 2015 at 06:06 AM, Miller Fulks <mmf38@...> wrote: These are the 128x1 & the DBx1 needles. ? ?Both of these needles have a length to eye of 33.9mm so have to be pulled down off the stop by about 5mm.
