Product Information

Full details

The Arrow Cabinets Bandicoot is an ideal mid-size sewing workstation for hobbyists and professionals who require a dedicated, organized space that can be easily stowed away when not in use. Its standout feature is the 3-position hydraulic lift, which effortlessly transitions your sewing machine between storage, flat bed, and free arm positions to suit any project. While it offers excellent storage and utility, users should note that the assembly process requires time and careful attention to detail due to the number of components.

FAQs

What is the maximum machine weight the lift can hold?

The hydraulic lift is designed to support sewing machines weighing up to 25kg.

Do I need a custom acrylic insert?

While optional, an insert is highly recommended to achieve a completely flush sewing surface and prevent fabric from snagging.

Can the cabinet be moved easily?

Yes, it features heavy-duty, locking casters that allow for easy mobility across most floor surfaces.

How many thread spools can it hold?

The cabinet includes built-in holders for 20 thread spools.

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly requires patience and basic tools; it is recommended to allocate several hours for the process.

Troubleshooting

Hydraulic lift feels stiff or jerky

Ensure the machine is within the 25kg weight limit and check the lift tracks for any debris or obstructions.

Cabinet feels unstable when locked

Verify that all four casters are engaged in the locked position and that the cabinet is placed on a level floor.

Door cubbies are sagging

Re-tighten the door hinge screws and ensure the cabinet is perfectly square after assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly of the Bandicoot requires a flat, clear workspace and a set of basic hand tools, including a screwdriver and a mallet. It is recommended to assemble the unit near its final destination due to its weight. Ensure all cams and screws are tightened during the build to prevent wobble.

For compatibility, the cabinet uses specific acrylic inserts tailored to your machine's make and model. Always check the machine compatibility list before purchasing an insert. To care for your cabinet, wipe down the white surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check that the locking casters are free of debris and that the hydraulic lift mechanism moves smoothly.
