williaty Report post Posted April 25, 2019 Barring disaster, I'm going tomorrow to pick up my first leather machine, a used Consew 226R-2. Does anyone know if there's an off-the-shelf option for a flat bed adapter so I can use it as either style of machine? I got the idea because some people here on this forum have shown homemade versions. I'm just checking to make sure I can't buy a commerical one before I spend the time bodging one together. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williaty Report post Posted April 26, 2019 The machine now lives with me, so I definitely want a flat bed/table. Is there really no commercial one available? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylonRigging Report post Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I almost positive you not going to find a model specific flat-bed attachment made for your Consew model . You will have to adapt another table made for different model of similar size . or build new from scratch . I would look first for some compatible to length/size with your Consew cylinder bed . My 1st thought .. was maybe checking to see if ( UWE flat-bed ) for the Pfaff-335 will be close to working size . ? You might get Lucky . it easy to trim a wood top to fit . Also really easy to Drill and thread Tap a new hole here or there on a Machines head to make bolt mounting work . . edit Add: Adaptation of another model table will be hit or miss.. But As far as the UWE table, If you tried . He integrates throat-plate to pass threw the wood top . The holes on his tables will be drilled and mount in holes to that model .. You might get lucky ??? and maybe drill a couple new hole to mount to your throat plate , or with out having to trim for the Consew dogs to fit-up threw . https://uwe.store/products/ut335-flatbed-table-attachment-for-pfaff-335 .
