Uwe Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Yup, my cover plate is different. It's held in place by a little pin that goes into a hole in the arm. The cover plate does not move when I sew (you can see it a little in my power usage test video): Yours is similar to this Kwok Hing cover plate: Edited October 22, 2015 by Uwe Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Members lfab Posted January 2, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Well, it took a while for me to get my laser cutter, then had to get through the holidays. But I finally finished my table for the Adler 69 machine and wanted to post photos here in case it would help anyone in the future. Construction is pretty basic and accommodates the slight side-to-side movement of the plate on the cylinder arm. And it works with even the most unhelpful of table types for this sort of thing. I just attached some aluminum angle to the sewing table and then attached the sides of the flatbed to that. It's as stable as I need it to be, considering the plywood is 1/4", i.e. thin enough to be cut by my 80 watt CO2 laser. I could have doubled-up on the plywood if I wanted it to be more beefy. But I'm satisfied with it as-is. The sides are braced on the inside by hardware store corner braces (the small, four-hole type) and there's about 1.5-2" of sliding room at the side panel thumb screws for quick sliding in & out for bobbin changes. I sewed with it today and so far, so good! Edited January 2, 2016 by lfab Quote

Members lfab Posted January 2, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 2, 2016 I do experimental fashion stuff, bags, occasional upholstery sewing. I originally wanted to sell this machine and buy a proper flat bed walking foot, but I didn't have any buyers. Then I had the idea to try this and hopefully get still get use out of the cylinder arm when/if I need it. Quote
