Plus, I have found that I can control the speed quite well with just the foot pedal, although it's not as slow as a domestic machine like that. But, I can control it for what I need with the pedal. The guy I bought it from sells industrial machines and he set the machine up to suit what I am sewing and all I do now is just oil it every week and give it a clean out. It's very basic and not much on it to go wrong. However, if something did go wrong, like timing, then it would be good to have someone who could attend to it
