Kenmore E Cams
 

I have a Kenmore sewing machine 158.15030. I am looking for the E cams. These are the double sided flat cams with about a 7/8” donut hole in the center. I have the #1 cam but looking for others which will do decorative stitching.

I have a 158.13410. I think the cams are the same. These are gray and some are single side and some are two sided.
I'll check. I think I have an extra set.

I just checked but I guess I sold my extra set. I found the on Ebay. There are numerous different types. These are grey but some are orange or other colors. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I'm also looking for the E cams. If anyone has some to spare, please let me know.

Kenmore made a ton of E cam machines. Should be able to find them on that auction site, or local advertising, even etsy will probably have them, and as MaggieLou inferred, they were made in several different colors. They come up often on the Goodwill Auctions site as well.

I got a second set on ebay several years ago. The set that came with my 158 wasn't complete. You have to keep checking because they aren't always listed. Mine are gray.

I've had this machine for decades, but it came with the wrong manual. I've had no luck finding the correct manual. The manual for the 1503 does not include instructions on using the cams. I would be so grateful to find a link to the correct version after all these years.

I have a manual. If you will PM me with your address I'll copy the manual and send it to you.

I have these attachments and cams from my grandmother's old Kenmore.
The machine had gotten rusted and locked up in storage.
Rusty pieces broke off the machine trying to get it moving so it was thrown out.
I have no idea what model it was.
Vrolandelli If you can use them I would be glad to send them to you.
Please PM with your address.
If you cannot use them please post here and I will send them to the first person that can use them to PM me.

My pictures are not attaching for some reason :-(

Trying to show pictures in an attached document.

I so need a set as well unfortunate so many need I only have #1 and question myself if other similar yet higher might work

I have not gotten a response from Vrolandelli.
If anyone else can use these cams and parts I will send them to the first person to pm me their address.

I just finished restoring my Grandparents 1503. What a great machine. I also have been struggling with finding the proper cams and which will fit from other models and brands. I'm still learning so I'm in no rush.
So I should be searching for "E" Cams only?

In my failed quest for type "E" cams I'm seeking a solution. From pictures it looks like "C" type cams are similar. I dont have any to compare but can someone who has both "E" & "C" type cams compare them and verify they are of the same outside diameter. If so I'm wondering if I only needed to bore out the inside hole on a "C" cam to fit and work as an "E" cam.

Or even compare to a Singer flat disc

I tried to find the difference between the Kenmore cams. I found https://www.pinterest.com/pin/467248530072277768/ that shows the different ones. I could not find where it came from. It appears that there are major differences between C & E. The E has a larger diameter center. The difference between the flat Singer cams would be the notch and holes for the pegs that would fit on the 'cam holder.'

Yes, thats the photo I was using for comparison which lead me to believe I could modify the C cams center diameter to match the E Cam size. Its the outer diameter that may be different. I know the E cams are double sided but that shouldnt matter. What major differences have i missed? It seems the C cams are cheap and easy to come by.

Kenmore E series flat cams
 

We also are searching for one double sided e cam #1081, or #1114. We have the other 6 cams for our model 158.850.

I did manage to get a set of E Cams on ebay. My suspicions were correct in that the C cams can be modified to fit in an E cam machine. The shaft size on the machines is whats different so drilling out a C cam will then fit an E cam machine. But keep in mind that not all stiches will work because not all machines have the ability to do all disc designs. My 1503 doesnt have the capability to do patterns that require reversing via disc. (Did I explain that right?)
The Disc measures .9845 (inside diameter)
The shaft measures .9840 (inside diameter)
A 25mm drill bit is .9843 (outside diameter)
A 63/64" drill bit is .9844 (outside diameter)
