Members SARK9 Posted November 4, 2015 Members Report Posted November 4, 2015 Nice work! And I see what you mean about the Adler hammertone! That is probably the most exaggerated effect I've seen, for sure. -DC Quote Machines: Juki LU-563, Consew 206-RB5, Singer 20U33, Pfaff 481, Mitsubishi CU-865-22, Consew 29B, Rebadged Juki LU-562, Mitsubishi LS2-180, Seiko SK-6, Juki LG-158-1
Hockeymender Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 My former machine is a star! The flatbed attachment that Uwe made for the 335 is excellent. I use it quite a bit and it has eliminated my need for a flatbed machine. Quote Regards, Joe Esposito www.hockeymenders.com instragram: @hockeymenders.com
Members TinkerTailor Posted November 5, 2015 Members Report Posted November 5, 2015 Nice work! And I see what you mean about the Adler hammertone! That is probably the most exaggerated effect I've seen, for sure. -DC The bigger the hammertone, the better it covers casting flaws and rough grinding......Its amazing what you will find under the paint on old machinery, especially in un-stressed areas. Good machinery has more bondo. You wouldn't pay top dollar for a shoddy finish..It is not the castings that make a good machine, it is fit and finish, machining, polishing, adjustment and paint....All things that require skilled labour and cost money. I think they were built like tanks to ensure the inevitable casting flaws were more than compensated for. Nice work Uwe, I think you hammered it out good.....
