spurdude101 Report post Posted January 28, 2011 does anyone have a source for industrial table tops? the basket case I bought, as I found out, is missing the tops. it's an "L" frame and looks to be specific to the 2972 patcher. although I can locate some 20" x 48" blanks, they are expensive about $100.00 retail. this seems high to me for just a top. any other sources out there? thanks.. http://www.alibaba.c.../showimage.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted January 28, 2011 We have made them in the past by taking 2-pcs of 3/4" plywood ,glueing them together,putting some drywall screws around the outside,let set overnite(on the bottom side),then cut the belt slot,smooth the edges,get some stain & we used some Thompsons water seal & you ready to go.

Spinner Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Solid core doors from the home supply store are great for table tops and sometimes you can buy one with a damaged corner for cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greenwood Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Folks Here is my solution to the same problem. I got a 20X24 arborite covered shelf and screwed it to an old style typewriter table (all obtained from a used office furniture store) Made a perfect mount for my 29K60 Patcher. The typing table has retractable wheels so I can move the machine around and when sewing I retract the wheels thus applying the brakes. I also installed a Dayton gear motor ac/dc and use a Singer domestic machine foot control pedal. It's set up to sew approx 0-75 spm which is perfect for doing repair work. Cost of table $25-$30. Motor had to be purchased new and cost almost $200.00. I'd attach pics but challenged in that respect. Greenwood Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted January 28, 2011 Get in touch with Steve, 1-866-962-9880. Price won't be much better, but it will be done right. He has patcher clones that use that configuration, and a facility to make tops.
