Turmix SV 577 Vintage Knitting Machine
Turmix SV 577 (2nd Post)
Took out this machine because of a request for further information. This is lovely looking machine however it has suffered re my move and the stored damp conditions. The carriage was stiff and therefore needed cleaning and oiling. There seemed to be a problem with the stitch size cams so I managed to dismantle the right hand cam however the springs were worn – this was a working machine in its day and enclosed were many patterns plus letters which I outlined within my previous post. I simply cleaned and greased the cams and put it back together. Casting on with this machine is easy when you know how, it is outlined in the manual, you can cast on with ewrap or with an open cast on.
The tension bar is exceptional on this 6 mm machine that has 160 needles. I reckon it would have been a good machine in its day and probably had to be to pay its way. If you are lucky enough to find one that has not been overused it will produce, however despite the 6 mm gauge it is only comfortable with up to 4 ply yarn. I must have been a popular as there were many pattern books attributed to the machine. It has a holding position and 2 fairisle screws at the back of the carriage to allow the use of 2 yarns. Perhaps the most fiddly bit is the stitch size regulator. Mine only works because I take the carriage off to manually line up the cams. It also comes with a set of pattern rulers and an excellent row counter.
This is one of three similar machines, the Orion 220, the Busch KM180 and finally the Turmix 577. The Orion 220 is most unusual in that it offers 220 needles.
I was going through some coursework help threads and noticed how many people rely on different learning methods when dealing with HRM assignments. In the middle of one conversation, human resource management assignment help was mentioned as something people turn to when they get stuck with assignments or complex case studies. It made me think about how HRM is not just about knowing theories but also about building analytical habits. I often find that I can read a well-structured report and understand it, but writing one myself is a different challenge. Especially when working with performance management, training, and employee engagement, small mistakes can completely change the conclusion. Reviewing my arguments also takes a lot of time, and sometimes the…
Reading the post, I liked how it documents the Turmix SV-577 knitting machine in such detail, especially how maintenance like cleaning, oiling, and adjusting the carriage can bring an old machine back to working condition again. It reminded me of when I tried fixing an old tool at home and realized patience matters more than speed when dealing with delicate mechanisms. I once used the Programming Assignment Service during a very busy academic period when balancing multiple deadlines became overwhelming. It makes me think both machines and learning systems need care and attention to keep working properly over time.
