ouh - thats kinda cool!

I once made something similar from some old drawers but for a different purpose  - not for a portable machine but as an "on top adapter" for my Singer 111G156 table because the 212 flat bed is longer and I dont want an extra table for the 212.

Great option over the portable walking foot machines. Nice, neat compact way of packaging a much better machine along with a servo motor into a small transportable unit. This may give those that are short on space some ideas.

There's much ingenuity on this site.

I made a case which fit an industrial sewing machine head the same way they are used for domestic sewing machines (just a litle bit bigger

most of my adlers fit in it...

 

Very clever.  How is foot pedal configured?

I temporary took down the setup

but Thuis Will give an idea:

I am getting a singer 211-A967KB japanese made with new servo motor and used table and machine fully serviced for $650. Is it worth it. Or should I go for a Japanese made older Consew 206RB which will be around the same price or maybe a little more. Need it for sewing thread size 138 and to stitch leather, make ballistic nylon 1680 luggage and canvas tops and luggage work, upholstery etc etc. All for home purpose.

 

Please suggest which one should I go for or they are pretty much the same. How about parts availability.

I checked out the eBay machine you linked to and I think you might have missed this disclaimer: " Auction is for Machine Head Only (no table or motor included). "

Actually the guy is local to me and I am driving to his place tomorrow to pickup "A" machine. We talked an he said he will charge me $650 for the tuned / serviced singer 211-A967KB plus a decent table and new 550 servo motor. It ready to go and I will get a chance to stitch whatever I want as test and then buy it. He has other machines as well.

 

So should I go for Singer 211-A967KB or Consew-206RB series. !!!!

 

Again ... Need it for sewing thread size 138 and to stitch leather, make ballistic nylon 1680 luggage and canvas tops and luggage work, upholstery etc etc. All for home purpose.

 

Thanks for your input.

which is a better one REX-607 or Barracuda 200ZW

If you are near the Eastern Shore of VA/MD/DE there is a 211 Singer industrial with table and tuned up ready to sell-  here is the original Marketplace link- I bet she is pretty motivated to sell it cheap now (its been over a month)
