[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 595253, member: 2436"] Correct. I used to make Tarps for a local Trucking Mob. I had a Singer old style duel needle machine and it could punch through about 1/2 an inch of material consisting of leather and canvas without slowing down.. Could also quit easily go through your finger with ease as I found out. Both feet were walking style about 3 inch,s wide and was able to pull a 45 x 16 tarp along the table. When sewing leather cleats as above, I had a lubricating setup that you would put linseed oil in to stop the thread from over heating. It would smoke the needles when running at a fair pace. [/QUOTE]
