Ah.. that is OK then..
I have to confess I had a "temporary belt" ( bungee cord ) on one machine for 6 months!

Red Green says, "remember folks, this is only temporary...........unless it works".

Hey guys,

(Ok, I confess: It was me ;-)

It's a Ø4cm/Ø13cm part ordered from Sieck here in Gemany http://www.sieck.de/maschinen/naehmaschinen/schuh-schaft-herstellung/diverse-naehmaschinen/?produkt=9237

But you can get the same device at http://www.cowboysew.com/product911.htm

or https://www.allbrands.com/products/39722-techsew-sr-speed-reducer-slows-down-handwheel-rpm

(prices DO vary...)

I used the leather belts just because they were easy to make at that moment and I could tweak the length so I would know which exact length of V-belts to order.

In the pictures you can see the parts I used and the installed carrier without the speedreducer mounted.

The star shaped head screw and modified hex nut are optional, a standard bolt and nut do the job, you then just need tools to tighten.

 

Cheers, Pete...

Thank you for inventing this elegant and simple mounting solution and sharing the details with us.

Thanks also for the sourcing links - interesting that the identical part is available in Germany for a mere third of what vendors here in North America charge.

This looks like a great idea.  I had that style of speed reducer mounted to the table, but I didn't like it because I couldn't tip the machine head back.  This should solve that issue.

I went with a box type speed reducer, which works great too.  This is a very clever idea you came up with.  

Nice work.

Dang! Should've patented it first, then... ;-D

No, really: Thank you guys for your kind words and I'm glad if you like and/or use it for your own setup (As in: Why is there so little space under such a big table?).

 

Cheers, Pete...

Yeah, I think I'm going to make it a Habit: Decent idea - once a decade - sounds like a plan! ;-)
