Sailrite sells a table for the LSZ1 that has the workhorse servo motor for $499.00. But as it comes from the factory the LSZ1 is a portable machine and has the same motor as an old Singer Portable, so no real control over the speed. When converting it to go in the table it calls for the removal of the factory installed motor and hooked up to the servo motor. The only reason I know this is because I have a knock off of the LS1 (straight stitch only) and I am in the process of converting mine to a table now. Although I can't afford the $499 in one lump sum. I had a table for a New Dearborn Model 9 Blind Stitch machine that was built in the 30s. I removed the machine and cut the hole for the machine, unfortunately the pressed wood from the 30s didn't take very well to this cutting, it fell apart and would not hold the machine. My younger brother was a cabinet maker for 35 years and later today I am going to his house and we are making a Table top to fit my machine. As a Disabled Vet I only get paid once a month -on the first- and I will be buying the workhorse motor from sailrite for $196.00.
