Uwe Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Here's a quick sneak peek at my Adler 69 version of the flatbed table attachment. Proper glamour shots to follow later this week. Quote
Uwe Posted November 4, 2015 Author Report Posted November 4, 2015 Here are a couple more detail shots of my flatbed table attachment for the Dürkopp Adler 69 class of machines, for the LW archives. Quote
Members dikman Posted November 4, 2015 Members Report Posted November 4, 2015 Looking good, Uwe. A lot of work has gone into that. Quote
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
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
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..... Quote
