Union Special machine setup installation and modifications

[DMH]

Looking for any information on how to properly mount an industrial sewing machine to a submerged table top.  More specifically, what mounts are needed if any to attach any of the Union Special 30000 and 50000 series machines.  Or point me in the direction where I can get answers to question about older Union Special industrial machines on how to set them up and customize them for other uses.

I moved this over to the sewing machine sub forum. Somebody here will know what you need.

I think the standard method is just to bolt it to a piece of plywood and "suspend" it under a table on pieces of allthread.  You'd need to make a cutout in the actual table that is compatible with the contours of the machine.

I have few old US machines, like 52900 and 53100. They are not in use at the time, as of lack of space :)))) Here is a pictures of the original table. At least for those two machines the tables are the same. They are very finely engineered, with pre-made holes for rubber fits, hinged access for the machine etc, lower board that can be fine tuned into the position etc. For sure made with a rig in a factory. For a single use I would do it much simpler. Ok, I would have to do it much simpler, as I don't have necessary machines :))))

Thank you very much for getting back to me.  @nejcek74 thank you for confirming where I need to place the machine to the table.  I was told recently I should the placement in the pictures attached and that I can use the rubber insulator without any additional bolts to rest the machine head on.

yes, that's right, both machines were only fixed/sitting on those rubber feet.
