I ordered the top for my Class 26 before I ordered the 26 lol. Different uses but I am pretty happy with the table and it's pretty sturdy because I have walked by and put my big coffee tumbler on it.
Flip your paradigm, maybe their edge guide would work with the cutout to the outside of the needle not the inside? Then you could still get close to the needle and the walking foot would work inside the cutout? Just a thought.
The point is that it doesn't work that way. They designed it so that people with wide feet could still use the guide but if you try to stitch and tight radius you end up unsupported.
I'm not really the right person to ask. I don't necessarily need to convert a cylinder bed machine to a flatbed by using an attachment. I have flatbed machines that I use when I need them. As far as the workpiece in question I feel that at the time the product needs a little more refinement. The edges were all sharp. The edge guide system that they had designed was cumbersome and basically useless. I didn't find that the product at that time was an upgrade from the original wooden platform that the leather machine company produced. In their defense the product was new and has probably evolved to being a little bit nicer than it was at that time. As far as the leather machine companies product was concerned I think that that work platform greatly outperforms the aluminum one due to the fact that it's just more robust. Sure it takes a couple moments longer to install. Sure it's big and bulky and heavy but it works perfectly. That is as long as the operator is willing to adapt themselves to it. I think the controversy around these platforms came from some exaggerated marketing from a person who didn't necessarily have enough experience to be a product development person. Just because somebody had an idea doesn't always mean it's a great idea. And this is a perfect example of it. Especially with the edge guides. Now again, I will say it that it's been a year and they've probably had the opportunity to upgrade their designs a little bit but overall I wouldn't use it just for the simple fact that I don't believe in converting a cylinder bed into a flatbed machine with a gadget I'd rather just use a flatbed machine when the time was appropriate. Thank you for your question.

I ordered one for my class 26. Now I need to figure out what to do with the table I bout from cobra
Well it's been almost a year. Are you satisfied with this product?
