I would look into a swing away as above Mixmkr is showing i have liked that style if many task are done.

With a photo possibly or just seeing if you have some "already" threaded holes on the flatbed casting, vs the bobbin plate cover.  Though sometimes they can be drilled for whatever was used with a pattern made.

In any case if you think you could use the part that's bolted/screwed to the casting as above, well that part can be had with this reference and from Tennessee attachment co. part no. TAC460-11

http://www.tennattachment.com/

They have a net site and have been making these type pieces for the factories a really long time. And they have a catalog of them but ya best get several bags of popcorn, again been making a long time standard and just what ever a customer could dream up.

I have one as Mixmkr "had" (the 90degree) all setup with the raised feed dog cover plate and such but as happens i needed to do many different projects also and so removed for the factory plate and would like to get "just" the binder part as he did above. 

good day

Tennessee Attachment Co. sells all manner of binding related things. The website hasn't quite made it into the current century, but they do have a Flyer for Binder Setups that includes the kit shown below :

I agree about last century's website.... but they DO have they swing away that I have.  No reference of part number but it's on this page:... in the middle on the right side

By the way...I did grind on my swing away in the picture above, and it isn't like it's really hard stainless steel.  I had to widen the one slot to match the holes in the bed of my JUKI.  A little dremel did it really easily.

I don't know if it helps, but here is a picture of my machine.  singer plate.jpg

It has the same two holes as my JUKI in the lower right of your picture.  Basically identical bed.  I believe they were metric too, so you'll need a hardware store that sells beyond the typical screws.....  but a big box store ought to have them too.

I looked closely at this picture from another thread:

Could it be that simple?  binder plates.jpg

I buy a lot of folder stuff from Tennessee Attachment. They are a good company to work with. I'd call and tell them which machine you have and what folder you want to mount. You could even send them that last picture. Those are pretty standard mounting holes. Their quality is good. They've been around forever. I would go with a swing away style mount rather than a cover plate mount. More versatile for different folders. The attached picture is one of my leather binders. If you look how the mount is fastened to the machine, you'll see it's just a single screw. The two tabs over the front edge of the bed keep it solid.  The hole that's farther back on the bed is for a larger mount. This is the proper way to mount it so you have full adjustment left to right without having to drill another hole.

I can see how that could be superior because the binder is not affixed to the moveable plate.

Thank you to everyone who has given me some ideas today.

The only negative  to the inline swing away though is if you're binding the inside of smaller curves, trying to shove the material up against the binder.  Outside curves are a piece of cake..  My right angle binder didn't like stiffer bindings though, as the binding get "inverted" going thru that type.  The swing away makes life easy though is too many ways.
