Small footprint cylinder bed machine table
I am building a custom table for my cylinder bed machine. A Pfaff 335. I have a day and a half into the project and pictures will follow. We have limited space and so a small footprint was required welding and woodwork was involved!
i have about a day and a half in this- less probably. All scrap or on hand material. What I haven't figured out yet: lifter foot actuator (we are thinking a knee operated lever) lighting, paint, maybe more ballast or outriggers for stability.
I added 3" plate steel to base to make overall dimensions 15 x 20
Added foot pedal for lifter (thanks for this recommendation) using mountain bike brake cable and housing
Painted-
added beautiful flat bed attachment from UWE http://www.ebay.com/usr/uwe?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754
I am very happy with its stability and footprint. Now I need to get rid of old table : (
The next four pictures show the cable routing for lifter foot
