Brother Profile KH552 for Paige, July 2026

Last updated on August 7, 2026

… in progress.

Brother Profile 552 knitting machine is the first machine on the market with an 8-pushbutton needle selection mechanism. Read more about its pros and cons in my Knitting Machine Encyclopedia. The post below is dedicated to a specific Brother 552 machine serviced and tested in my shop.

I deep-cleaned this machine, including the pushbutton pattern center.

I am including almost all original parts. Replacement parts are:

  • needle selection rulers
  • tension mast (in great condition)

The pictures below are applicable to most 8-pushbutton knitting machines.

Side screws and needlebed screws
Shows that the “hole” in the middle is actually supposed to be a “hole”. Screws dont go in there.
