So after having the machine in a space saving manner mounted on the end of my 111G156 table I figured the idea is space saving but I needed the work space left of the machines so I needed another solution for my "Caliber .45".

Some pictures of the new setup for the 45D91

Stand is from a patcher and I have added a "pedal mount" from a flat bed Singer stand. Pedal mount is nearly flush with the ground but since the stand is on brake casters I still can easily move it. Still have to do minor modifications (ball caster on the left end of the pedal mount and so on) but it´s almost done.

I also made a flat bed attachment

The flat bed attachment is made from a IKEA bamboo cutting board and a piece of scrap metal. Slit right of the metal plate is because I made an odd move with the router :wacko: but I can live with it. I think I´ll fill it with some wood filler.

Nice.  I like how compact it is.    

Did you make your own speed reducer for this?

Awesome work Sir. Your an inspiration. 

I need to buy some sort of cheap machine. Then tear it down just to see if I have the mental and emotional fortitude to put it back together in working condition.

Folker,

Great job as usual.  I wish I still had my 97-10.  You would have had a great time with it.  I still have a few parts.

Me too - you could sell it to me :)

If you ever come across a 97 head only drop me a note - we both know that these things can be shipped over the pond ;)

I have modified it - originally it had one heavy cast iron double pulley but it did not work with this machine setup.

The cutting board is a great idea and the results are very good.

The machine turned out exceptionally well - I like how you went about it all.

The cutting board idea originally came from UWE. The board has a nice surface and just costs 6€ on my side of the pond.

a little bit more in the US but still a nice piece of wood for the money
