Good value for money spent

I have no previous sewing experience nor have I ever had any real interest in it. I do much boat related DIY so that is the real motivation. More specifically I have a boat that need repairs done to the upper flying bridge enclosure. This requires replacing clear vinyl and installing new zippers on the Sunbrella fabric. I haven't started that project yet; I have been focusing on small projects like covers to get some practice with the sewing concept. So far so good. Providing this works well I will then move on the cushions and upholstery. If all goes well this could be a huge bonanza of savings. First job or two will justify the cost of the equipment outlay, after that it is all value-add!
It will be nice to be in control of these maintenance costs; not saying canvas guys aren't highly skilled craftsmen but their time is expensive and their availability is low.
The machine so far seems to be a workhorse. Seems fully compatible with Sailrite Ultrafeed LS1 parts and components but at less than half the cost. One thing is the sewing machine is one tool of many parts and tools require to carry out this work. Still very worthwhile as far as I can tell.

I have upgraded it and it is as good as them come.

I have upgraded with extra specialty seaming and hemming guides, tapped the 6-40 holes for the thumb screws to hold them and put on the big wheel for a Reliable Baracuda, the Monster wheel for a Sailrite should be the same. Built it to the same as a double the price machine.Read full review

Rex 607 awesome machine!

After considering a sailrite LS1, tuffsew, and all the other knockoffs, I finally settled on this machine. Worked perfectly right out of the box for half the cost of the sailrite..This thing does leather, denim, canvas, and vinyl with no problem. I already redid a bench seat and it has paid for itself. Expecting to get a lot of use out of this little workhorse!Read full review

Hard to beat for the money

This machine works well. It has the power to sew through multiple layers. You can get extra feet on Ebay.
Good Deal!

Great value

This is a fine machine for the price. I have a little prior experience with an upholstery sewing machine and had no problems getting this device working properly. The key is to oil it thoroughly before use and practice on some scrap fabric. I expect to get many years of reliable service from this purchase. The buyer will need to supply a base or stand because this is just the powered head. I made a stand by building a simple wood frame from some repurposed hard wood.Read full review

Amazing machine!

A little stiff when you first go to use it, but it smooths out quickly and sews like a dream.
