Consew 206 RB5 Table Build

[@bruceclark215]

I made my own table with a speed control for leather. The Consew parts have no instructions. This video is essential. Now I know what the stop is. Couldn't figure out the knee lifter either. The thread stand was a puzzle, too. Thanks much!

Subscribed. Getting to the channel here in fall of 2017- just unpacking and hooking up a new 206 RB5 myself. My table came assembled, my servo motor already on, and the rig was on a pallet. Still, having to perform some tweaks and I don't know much about all this either. Thanks indeed for posting what you did, hope there is more to keep me out of the weeds!

Could not have assembled my wife’s machine without this video.

Sorry for the comment not trying to be rude the two long brackets that were put on the bottom of the pedal I think are meant to be on the legs to secure the two pieces together also missing a screw on the leg is not really secure you can see it’s already tilting forward with the weight of the machine.

John..I was watching the table build video...because I myself had to build a table last evening. I thought I was short on bolts at first too, but you only use one bolt on the foot pedal attachment and the long bar and 2 bolt device is actually what is used on where the table adjusts for height. if you put the strap inside the channel and use the bolts from the outside you only need a washer and nut because the strap is threaded. The dips in the strap fit nicely into groves in the metal of the side uprights. Now I am anxious to watch the rest as I was a little worried about table top placement so that the motor and belt come through correctly...thanks for the great video and congrats on your new facility it has to be exciting. I wish I could come to your classes...we'll see maybe I will. My Dad and I just got a 1998 Sea Ray 240 Sundancer and the previous canvas..(1998) had been stowed and it has shrunk over the years. It was a mess trying to get it on the boat and it's very worn. I have the fabric coming and I am going to tackle this project. I am thinking I can replace the isinglass and I want to put screens and smiles in while I am at it. It's a full camper canvas. I am also changing the fastening. It used to have rubber v channel for the slit in the top of the windshield frame and it's very had to put on and remove. I prefer snaps and found the style that insert into the track on the windshield and I will change the bottom edge to include snaps. It's a challenge, but I am determined. I have a new walking foot machine to do this work on , but I do not have the nice tables you have. I am going to convert a dining table and make a mock set up to get through this project. Wish me luck and I am sure I will be referring to your videos ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge via these videos it helps those of us who aspire to do this kind of work to be brave and GO FOR IT !

John Cavco I need consew machine in India

[@arminteriors8590]

Congratulations on your new shop! Nice.

[@walterw9829]

Does the 206rb-5 not need a drip pan? Mine came with one. I think you have to line up the opening on the drop pan with the knee lift. The one in the background doesn't have one either.

[@leecopp8012]

Hey John, the unidentified curved piece you showed after the spare brushes is the spare brake pad. Nice Video. Lee in Florida

[@walterw9829]

Thanks for that. I've been wondering what that was.

[@deirdrerobbins856]

Congratulations on the new space. Do you have any video of the consew 2206RB

[@garryfelker6012]

Great video. Very helpful. One thought, I think the rubber bushings should go between the table and motor, with the washer, lockwasher and nut under the motor. Seems to be quieter that way.

[@christineemma9681]

Thank you for this video! So helpful. What size belt did you use?

[@SurvivalCitizen]

49:07 Knee lifts... a PITA for sure! 51:17 It would be nice, but too many variables. Will a small frame oriental woman be using it, or a Sasquatch like me? Two very different locations. Beautiful machine! I use a Consew 206 RB1 I picked up used. Did my own machine adjustments. Not fun, but interesting! Really allowed me to learn HOW such a powerful machine does what it does. 55:35 It's a simple part that makes adjustments easier than the method you use at 55:55, IMO. Now that nut is under the foot paddle and a PITA to adjust.

[@jimbobxcityguy5338]

I owned one of these many many years ago. If your a full time busy shop get the Juki 1510N-7. You'll never go back to these types. Yea they cost more but they do a better,easier,faster job period. That's just a fact. 14 yrs now on mine. Sewing Pro 50 + yrs.

[@botoepfer8588]

were can I buy it for that price ?

[@mchristofas]

As someone that worked on cars my whole life using those pliers to put the knee bar on was like sewing canvas with an Awl for all. 😂😂😂

[@dejuanemiller530]

Where is the best place to order for that price that you quoted?

[@zitosonic]

Good video John. Where can I got more information about in-house training?

[@rachidajnane6928]

thank you so much your tube is really helpeful wish you the best

[@toniwilson5435]

Thank you , you made it so much easier & less complicated indeed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@stevetruth4605]

don't you need an oil pan ? I got a juki and it had an oil bath pan

[@rodblasting4567]

Hey John, any chance you can send me a pic of the inside of the box on the left end of the machine? Mine has the oil cord loose, not sure how to re thread it.

[@1000ferns]

Thanks for the video. I might need it here shortly. I can't decide between the consew 206rb5 or the juki dnu1541s. I want something that can do vinyl easily but also wanted the option to do a few medium-light weight things. I think the juki might be a little too rough on any relatively light material, where I see reviews that the consew can do some lighter weight stuff with the proper adjustments. Obviously, I have to decide for myself, just wondering if you had an opinion as you probably have much more working knowledge of the machines.

[@daytonpyro]

how do I reach out to get one of these for a great price unlike amazon? and does it come with a servo motor with reducer?

[@imuayachtcharter7940]

Ebay 1500 free shipping

[@hugoaalfaro]

Hi John, where can I buy the consew table and motor ?

[@felixjuarez5118]

[@debramccarley3430]

Hello John, where do you get your table tops cut or do you do it yourself.

[@mrlifetime64]

Im looking for info on wholesale suppliers-thread sumbrella -tenara tools binding etc . thank you your videos are excellent

[@billa2709]

Hope the new shop is working out John! Curious what you used to finish off the table tops? Looks like some kind of vinyl fabric to me?? Building one in our shop in IL and was curious. Love the videos too man, great stuff!

[@MagpieSoul]

Lifesaver! Can't thank you enough!!!!!

[@cepuras]

Great son Jake.

[@harrypierre6316]

You’re doing a good job: you need to adjust the scru on the knee, the person who’s sew dont have to opend he or leg wide

[@onehot57]

This information video is so old it has dinosaurs shit on it!

[@marcsidell824]

The reason you are short on bolts is because the two brackets and the 4 screws should be attaching the upper part of the stand rather than the trundle (foot pad)

[@boatcanvasuniversity3376]

yea, We figured that out.. Thanks

[@marcsidell824]

Thank you for the video. I would not have been able to do this without it. Mechanical engineering background and all!

[@onehot57]

This fuckin video is 8 I said 8 years old but the Consew people are still selling this fuckin machine without any instructions!

I cannot believe you were too lazy to put the guards on the drive. Leaves you open for a law suit from student for sure.

[@DanaDetailingPros]

Just figured out why they only give you 2 nuts and 4 bolts! Found purely by luck!!! Of course after I went to hardware store to buy them😩
