Flatbed Table Attachment For Adler 69 Machines

[Uwe]

Here's a quick sneak peek at my Adler 69 version of the flatbed table attachment. Proper glamour shots to follow later this week.

Here are a couple more detail shots of my flatbed table attachment for the Dürkopp Adler 69 class of machines, for the LW archives.

Looking good, Uwe. A lot of work has gone into that.

Nice work! And I see what you mean about the Adler hammertone! That is probably the most exaggerated effect I've seen, for sure.

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.

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.....
