Description
An improved foot control pedal for the Brother Innov-is sewing machines.
(Brother innov-is 10, 10a, 15, 20LE, 27SE, 30, 35, 50, 55, 55FE)
The anti-slip pads are 120 grit sandpaper with double-sided adhesive tape.
Anti-slip rubbers on the underside made of moulded rubber. Glued on with superglue.
The original foot pedal uses a 50k sliding potentiometer. Here a 100k rotary potentiometer is used, but only half of the rotation range is utilised.
All swivel joints are fitted with 8x5x2.5mm ball bearings.
