Anyone using one of these?

I am interested to know how it operates.

No, I am not using one of these.

In video #1, he says his motor "will give you more power than any clutch motor or servo motor in the sewing machine market place today." Is this true? Their specs say it is a 1/3 hp motor. Isn't 1/3 less than 1/2? I'm confused.

He also mentions that you will get less slippage using their optional larger pulley. This implies that you will get slippage using your existing pulley, and you will still get slippage, but it will be less, using their larger optional pulley.

Video #2 is about about 'servo motors'. Is he actually using variable speed motors, and not true servo motors?

I'm looking forward to reading what anyone says who is using this system, and what the sewing machine folks have to say.

It is an interesting 'system'.

Thanks for sharing this.

No.

I kinda gathered this setup was a little on the weak side. I use a similar(Same prinicpal as the sailrite) setup and was interested to know how the sailrite one works in comparison. It seems very pricey for what you get too, very pricey.

I have to deal in specifics, and although it's not for me to say or comment on the price of a competitive products, I  can say for certain that this motor setup in conjunction with their machine's geared drive mechanism is decent at the very least, and I sure does as advertised. 

I can also say that I am quite certain there are more powerful clutch and servo motors on the market, and that's my one and only point here.
