Converting A Post Bed A Flatbed Machine For Versatility

[khopper117]

Hello all, I have been looking at post bed machines for sewing shoe uppers and boots and was wondering if there are any products available for converting a post bed machine to a flatbed for doing boot tops also.

Do any companies already make something like this, or does anyone have experience or photos/diagrams they'd be willing to share here of table converters they have made?

Thanks

-Also I am pretty decided on the Cobra 5110 for the machine I want,

-Cobra has a "work platform" for their class 3 and 4 machines. This is pretty much the idea I'm going for, but I want it on a post bed rather than then cylinder arm.

Build a two piece box what ever size you want and hook it togeather with screen door hooks or something along that line.

Like dirtclod said - make something up yourself!

When using machines you really need to learn to improvise to get the best out of it.

Some postbed manufacturers like techsew have presserfoot kits that allow u to change from a roller foot to a presser foot.
