I'm trying to understand in what position shaft have to be in relation to beak. The way this knee lifter works is the bent rod pushes on the pivoting crank. If the rod is set too high it can actually push against the body, lifting the head. If it is set too low, it can slide past the "beak" and flop around uselessly. The trick is to position the rod high enough so that it gives the full required amount of lift to the feet, yet does not also push the body itself up. You should have a discoverable range of height that accomplishes these two things.

JJN Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 Get the lift mounted to the table first. It is a bit of trial and error until you find the sweet spot. If the bent rod is too short, it slips past the lifter. Too long and it locks up.

Is dimension (shaft aligns with motor bolts) accurate? I prefer not to drill table many times if possible.. Quote
JJN Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Yes, mine is in line with the motor mounting bolts. About 190mm from the right edge of the machine head. I saw a drawing a while ago that had it at 182mm from the right edge.

Consew 206s are exceptionally popular, so parts are redily available. I think Ive bought most of my parts from Bob Kovar at Toledo Industrial Sewing supply. Quote
