Thanks. Any drawbacks/concerns with a "copy" versus the Juki?
Personally, I wouldn’t have any concerns. Typical makes a ton of sewing machines, including for Sailrite.
When [mention]jhunter13 [/mention] were going back and forth on price I mentioned sewpro
The model on bottom (not direct comparison), sewpro 1541s is a juki 1541s “clone” with a second top tension knob and a feed dog height adjuster. He is selling for about $1,450 new.
It appears to be the same as a thor 1541s. Thor boasts that it uses a juki hook. I did not see that boast on the sewpro machine.

What are your thoughts on the sewpro clone and the Thor clone?
Thanks!
Thanks for the review...Now I need to just stop procrastinating and pull the trigger. @JCLINE84 annoyingly loud or just not as quiet?That Thor 1541 is like a mix of the juki 1541 and 1508. It seems to be as heavy duty as a 1508 but has the vertical bobbin like a 1541. The Thor isn’t as polished as my juki machines but it will sew through anything and will make a perfect stitch with any type of thread I’ve ran through it. Can’t say the same for my juki machines. I have to tune the crap out of them to run each different type of thread. Even if I’m using the same brand of 92 in different colors. Black thread takes more tension than tan thread in the juki for some reason. But that Thor will eat anything I wanna feed it. So I end up using it more than any machine I have. The Thor is louder than the juki and isn’t nearly as smooth at higher speeds though. But for heavy duty slow sewing it’s a better machine for the money in my opinion. One thing that makes the Thor 1541 better than the Juki 1541 to me is the dual tension disc. Really helps with heavy thread.
It’s not super loud. It’s just that my 1508 is almost silent so it’s loud in comparison.Thanks for the review...Now I need to just stop procrastinating and pull the trigger. @JCLINE84 annoyingly loud or just not as quiet?
@JCLINE84 do you have a speed reducer on your Thor?It’s not super loud. It’s just that my 1508 is almost silent so it’s loud in comparison.
I don’t have a speed reducer on any of my machines. I put brushless servo motors on them and change the pulley to a 1.5 inch and call it a day. That gives me plenty of power and slows things down to where I can control the speed easily@JCLINE84 do you have a speed reducer on your Thor?
Glad to know. A 1.5" pulley is way cheaper than a speed reducer.I don’t have a speed reducer on any of my machines. I put brushless servo motors on them and change the pulley to a 1.5 inch and call it a day. That gives me plenty of power and slows things down to where I can control the speed easily
