I have an antique singer sewing machine and need to retap a hole in the metal base (through hole). Will this work on dense cast iron?

I would imagine so, I'm an electrician and I use it to tap electrical cabinets and equipment which are made from steel. I've never seen that type of sewing machine but I can't imagine these taps wouldn't work. Sometimes I drill a small pilot hole before I use the tap bits for thicker gauge material.

I'm sure you could bud but be careful it's madenof cast iron or at least mine was so the metal is brittle so take you're time. And use cutting fluid Hope it helps man Christopher Smith

Yes you can use this tool to port cast iron cylinder heads. Use carbide cutting tools & let the tool do the work. This is a single speed die grinder with a lot of torque so there is no need to bear down hard when porting cast iron or aluminum cylinder heads. If you bear down too hard you generate excessive heat which burns up your cutting bits & makes the die grinder work harder. Stick a vacuum cleaner nozzle in the valve opening for the port your grinding to minimize grinding dust going into the cooling vents on the die grinder.

I use this to hold my toolbox on a wood table and it works well. This product would work perfectly for holding your sewing machine on a folding table. Just make sure you have the right dimensions or you will end up using 2 pieces instead of just 1.

There are two components; an outer square and an inner circle so it depends on the diameter of the iron...if it's similar to a wood post then it would work....if the diameter of the iron is much smaller it might make it too loose

I don't own a janome gem but I believe this foot will work on any Janome Sewing Machine.

I have used it to set the ink from silk screening cotton shirts. It worked well and was much faster than using my household iron. I hope this is the answer you are looking for.

It works on my Brother machine and also on my Singer and Janome. If your machine takes a snap on foot then it will work.

It should work, cast iron. They put this stuff right in the coals. I've used on a gas stove with no problems. As I stated before, lousy finish.

Greetings. each link is closed but there is no solder, or anything other than stainless steel for that matter. And yes, this scrubber can be used on cast iron.Thanks for checking in.Knapp Made Products

It might work depending on how damaged or distorted your threads are. I used it to correct distorted threads in a steel cranks shaft from a Honda Civic. Although the tap is 4130, it's still pretty soft compared to a regular tap. This tool allowed me to start from the back and make multiple passes to correct the threads so they were true to the center line. Then I drove a regular hardened tap from the front down into the crankshaft for a final clean up of the threads (keep in mind you shouldn't do this step with your head.)

I wish I could advise you. I've got a Janomi, so I can only say how it works on my machine. You might want to ask a sewing machine technician (someone who fixes sewing machines) if it would work for you. Good luck!

Sure. You would just have to drill holes in the angle iron to scab onto the the supplied frame iron.

I don't know. My old machine was a singer. These seem pretty standard as machine needles go. When I insert the needle, the 'front' has an vertical indentation and I can see the hole through which I pass the thread. (Way back in the 70s, my 4-H teacher showed me this vertical indentation on the needle.) On the top shaft, the back is flat and the front is round. I would guess these will work provided the needles in your machine look similar.

From Yost's website "30,000 PSI Cast Grey Iron with Steel U Channel Bar" Does that help?

I'm fairly sure the Singer 9420 is a slant shank so this is definitely not the right foot for your machine. If the 9420 is not a slant shank, then there may be something wrong with the foot itself. I have an upright shank and the foot does sit very slightly upward using this rolled hem foot, but definitely not at any severe angle as to cause an issue feeding fabric through.

The castings for all common cast iron 14" bandsaws are from the same molds. Each manufacturer drills and machines to their own specifications. That means that unless JET manufactures this saw for Central Machinery, this kit can probably be MADE to work, but will probably require some adapting. To adapt to my Porter Cable, I had to redrill the alignment pin holes on the riser casting, sand down the blade guide post, and modify a couple of other sheet metal parts that did not have holes in exactly the right place. I made it work, but it was not trivial.
