Beautifully done Uwe!

Uwe,

I have an Industrial CNC router, doesn't do metal. I have made many un-available items, some from the multi layered plywood, best I have used is "Apple Wood".

From one Innovator to another, That is some mighty fine work. If I owned a 4500, I would have to have one of those.

Answers price point question.

Sheepishly I got distracted by the pictures and never got to the end of his post.  Thanks.

I often get questions about which variations of 441 clones this table will fit. The UT441 table was designed for the 16.5" arm of the original Juki TSC-441. The model names and numbers on the various Juki TSC-441 clones and variations can be very confusing, even within the same brand.

I double checked the arm length specs of common 441 variations:  

Juki TSC-441, Cowboy 4500, Techsew 5100, Cobra Class 4: 16.5" arm  (UT441 table is designed to fit this arm as-is)

Artisan Toro 3200: 12.5" arm  (drill & tap hole in arm to accomodate UT411 table)

Cowboy 3200, Techsew 3850: 10.5" arm  (too short for UT441 table)

Artisan Toro 3000: 9.5" arm  (too short for UT441 table)

Cowboy 3500: 9" arm (too short for UT441 table)

 

I do plan to make a short version of the table  for the popular Cowboy 3200, but it'll be spring 2018 before that becomes a reality.

That is very nice work Uwe.

Not having one of these machines, I'm curious as to what is lacking from the readily available flat tables?

Any body care to fill me in?

Thanks

Quality of materials, fit, finish and the way it secures to the machine

As above, and gaps between the table and the feed plate.  The feed plate is flat too.  This would really help keep the material you are sewing flat and allow you to do a better job.

I think its a great table, and just adding to others mention of no gaps. Its well designed and the looks of install and removal of the table is quick. This aspect is very important to myself.
