                 Replacing a Knitting Machine Table Top

                            

Executive Summary about Melamine sheet By Anthony Moss

Most knitting machine tables or benches are made of metal legs attached to a chipboard or particle board top, OK when first built, but machine knitting is a vigorous sport and particleboard does eventually degrade.

  

Spray paint for metal with a rust inhibitor built in, will provide a longer lasting finish.

Melamine sheet, also called whiteboard (its the white, laminated on each surface material typically used to make kitchen cupboards), is perfect for a new knitting machine table top. After seeing a few different tables with knitting machines still attached, surely improvements can be made to new tops. The fact that knitting machines are a very narrow item, means the typical table for them is also narrow. Also if the table is pushed up against a wall or mountains of balls of wool and yarn, you can sit the cones of wool or yarn you are working with on top of the table.

Ironing the melamine edge stripping on the curved surface may test your ironing skills. The weight of the knitting machine is more than the counter weight of the back of the table top. After one "experiment" suggested the whole table, knitting machine included, "would" fall forward.
