Note: When Cuda Crank is installed you will not be able to disengage the clutch because the Cuda Crank is tightened directly to the shaft with 2 screws. No free run for separate bobbin winding, but you can wind bobbins while you sew.

Same manufacturer as Thompson PWZ500 and Tuff Sew 2000-33 but with portable handle on top and large extension table included.
I can't seem to get the clutch engaged to stop the machine fromm sewing to wind a bobbin.

1: The balance that comes on the machine is friction locked to the main shaft when the clutch screw is tightened against the 3 prong washer. The Cuda Crank is tightened to the main shaft with 2 set screws.
2: Loosening the clutch screw the balance wheel will idle spin on the main shaft to allow for bobbin wind and the same time disengage all moving parts on the machine.
3: Because the Cuda crank is tightened to the main shaft with 2 set screws it cannot be disengaged other than loosening the 2 set screws - therefore bobbin wind will have to executed as the machine is being used.
