Members Ceejay Posted November 9, 2018 Members Report Posted November 9, 2018 I have a new cylinder arm machine and the flat bed accessory purchased at the same time. The table doesn’t fit very well and I’m afraid of ruining it completely if I start cutting on it. It’s hard to get a good photo of the fit issues, but can you see anything obvious that I’m missing? I know I need to cut off the back side near the belt, because it’s actually touching the belt. The left-most bolt in the front interferes with the knee lift. There are a couple places near the point where the arm joins the body of the machine that there is a cutout that doesn’t follow the contour of the machine. I guess I looked and lusted after Uwe’s tables too much, but I really expected this one to be more useable than it is. Any tips and observations appreciated before I left my husband start cutting on it tomorrow. I think I’ll have to add each photo separately. This one is the back of the machine, where the belt rubs on the table. Quote
Members Ceejay Posted November 9, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 9, 2018 This is the bolt leg interfering with the knee lift. Quote
Members Ceejay Posted November 9, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 9, 2018 This is the showing the contour of the cut out, and the contour of the table not matching. Quote
Members jimi Posted November 9, 2018 Members Report Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Hi, I would talk with the seller before you cut up the table and get a refund?? It looks like it could be for another type of machine and not yours. Edited November 9, 2018 by jimi Quote
garypl Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 I had to move one of the bolt holes in the table of my CB4500. Wasn’t a problem, but still a little annoying. Worked fine afterward. I would also contact the seller - looks like you may have a defective table. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members shoepatcher Posted November 10, 2018 Members Report Posted November 10, 2018 That is a very shoddy workmanship for a flatbed table attachment. I would send it back and make my own. I would be embarrassed to sell that attachment. Bush league!!!! glenn Quote
Members brmax Posted November 10, 2018 Members Report Posted November 10, 2018 Was this a new factory table attachment, its clear it has some really rough contour. As you mentioned, in other words, an after market quality attachment, by Uwe would be nice. Here though, there are few but still comparisons with Uwes table attacments and these other factory brands. I believe its they are for sew machines, thats about all. Good day Floyd ps: i also have a factory table attachment. It mounts fine and is totally useable. It came with a used machine purchase of mine. With these respectfully, I now understand the newer options available, they look Great! Quote
Members Constabulary Posted November 10, 2018 Members Report Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Sometime it is better not to sell an item than to sell a crappy made item. However - can you post pictures of the hole thing + machine? What kind of machine is it? I never have seen a foot lifter in this position on a cylinder machine Edited November 10, 2018 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Members dikman Posted November 10, 2018 Members Report Posted November 10, 2018 The knee lifter arm looks like it has a bit of adjustment left where it can slide further into it's clamp, will there be enough to clear the bolt? I agree, however that it's a very poorly made item, particularly if it's supposed to be made for that machine.

kgg Posted November 10, 2018 Report Posted November 10, 2018 I would as Jimi said talk to the seller as from the photo's the flatbed attachment is of poor workmanship, looks like someone's first rough cut. Also I don't think the main table is the correct table for that machine as it looks as if the front of the base is slightly over hanging the edge. Overall it looks like someone had a regular flatbed K frame sewing table that they hacked out the middle and tried to reuse the scrap. What machine is this, I think it is a clone of the Juki LS 1341. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
