Looking at these Cowboy cylinder machines and wondering why the do not have built in lugs so you could easily fit a attachment to make them flat beds if required

Best part on 100 years ago the Singer 29K models had lugs built in and a table option you could by

No doubt many have made their own fittings that fit on , but it should be a simple just drop in existing slots or catches

Never had one so only going on images, so may be totally wrong

I have a cobra class 4 that have a flat bed attachment over the cylinder arm. I swore I saw a cowboy cylinder arm machine with one as well. On the cobra website I ordered mine for $95 as an accessory after I realized they made one:) If you haven't contacted them yet, I would ask them at Toledo.

My CowBoy came with a removable table. I know someone on here, probably Uwe, makes one even better.

Uwe's are beautiful pieces of work.

I made my own to fit on my 227r copy. At the time I made mine, I had not heard of such an item for sale, but apparently they are available.

Kindest regards

Uwe’s is 1000% better than the one that all the clone maker’s (I think they’re all the same, but I’m not 100% certain)

Here’s a pic of mine mounted to my C4.  Worth every penny!

Thanks for the endorsment @Joon1911!

Below is the installation video for my UT-441 flatbed attachment (I'm working on another batch and they'll be in stock again next week.) 

The flatbed attachment may look simple and obvious now, but it was a bit of an engineering challenge to come up with a design that uses existing mount points while making it functional, solid, and easy to mount.

Uwe - that is just a beauty to behold...  

I have no doubt that it was an engineering challenge - but "simplicity" so often is.  

I am a big fan of good design, and this is a great example.  Thank you for your effort and the great result that you have achieved.  

I am in Australia, so postage would probably cost more that the article itself...  But if you were closer, I would be tempted to buy your flatbed attachment, simply because it is such great design (even though I don't have the Cowboy to attach it to...  yet...)

@Uwe, I have a Juki LS-1341 that came with a nearly unusable flatbed attachment. It bolts to the table, not the machine. Do you have plans to make your style flatbed for other machines such as the 1341?

The Uwe one looks great and a good solution, but my whole point was the castings or table should be made, to allow a table to just drop over the cylinder arm and be stable without having to unscrew bits as its such a obvious requirement for many users
