So, I bought a Consew 206RB-5, and I'm excited to get started.
Table showed up preassembled, servo motor looks cool, whole thing seems neat...but, hey, anyone know how to set this thing up?
I've read a ton of posts here, and elsewhere, watched near endless videos on Youtube, so, of course, now I know how to assemble the table that came preassembled, and how to thread the machine 80 different ways.
Thing is, none of that is how to take the machine from cool parts in a box to actual, working machine.
How do I install the bobbin winder? I need to drill new holes?
There's a sheet metal housing that, I think, covers the belt, is that so?
What are these curved springs with copper wire in them for? Or this wee metal piece lined with cork?
Generally, what is all this unexplained crap, and what do I do with it all?
And, of course, why is the instruction manual slightly less useful than a screen door on a submarine?
I'll take my answers off the air, thank you!
