How to mount a machine onto a cabinet There are no screw holes!
Welmoed Sisson Advanced MD USA Member since 4/26/03 Posts: 272	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/22/13 9:51 AM I recently bought a second-hand sewing cabinet with a hydraulic lift. It's in great shape, and I'd like to mount my Viking 1+ into it. However, I looked at the underside of my machine and there are no apparent mounting holes. My old Bernina has a hole that accepts a 1/4" bolt, but the 1+ has nothing. How can I attach it to the base plate of the cabinet? Or should I just let it sit loose? The platform stays horizontal, so it's not like it will fall off, but I'd rather have it secured. --Welmoed ------ View my sewing projects: http://thereshesews.blogspot.com

Your Bernina must be a vintage? None of my Berninas (non-industrial) have bolt holes.

Don't worry-your machine won't fall off. I wish my other cabinet had the same system. It's devised to hold your machine without it falling- and it's great the way that the machine will come up and down on the hydralic lift. You bought a great cabinet!

My old Bernina 930 Record is bolted to its Horn cabinet, so I assumed all cabinets were like that. The "new" cabinet I got doesn't have a manufacturer label, so I don't know the brand, but it does have holes on the support board. My 1+ fits very nicely in it and it looks so much better than the plastic folding table that was its previous home! ------ View my sewing projects: http://thereshesews.blogspot.com
