Members Texxut Posted August 14, 2022 Members Report Posted August 14, 2022 I have a Consew 206RB-2, that I am setting it up on a table I made. Watching video after video of people tipping their machine back and seeing it stop part of the way back, but not continuing to lay flat back on the table. My question is, what stops the machine from going all the way back? Here is a pic of the back, am I missing something a part? Quote
Members chisel Posted August 14, 2022 Members Report Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) There should be a hole in the table for a head rest pin. If no hole, I use a 19/32" drill bit. Edited August 14, 2022 by chisel Quote
Members Texxut Posted August 14, 2022 Author Members Report Posted August 14, 2022 Thank you Chisel. Not counting the part that sticks in the hole, how long is the headrest post? And where should it contact the machine? Quote

And where should it contact the machine? 3", but it doesn't have to be exact. Taller and machine won't tilt back as far. Contact should be somewhere around the point of the arrow. Quote
Members Texxut Posted August 15, 2022 Author Members Report Posted August 15, 2022 I'll drill the hole and make a pin. Thank you Chisel, I appreciate your help. I'm glad I found this site. Quote

Members Handstitched Posted August 15, 2022 Members Report Posted August 15, 2022 I've also used a screw driver to prop up the machine while cleaning etc. like holding up the bonnet of a car . Unconventional, but it works . HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
