I used my Dremmel on it and carefully monitored it to make sure I had gotten it all off.

That red machine is gorgeous. Now I want a red or a pink machine. When does it stop? I think I want pink more than red.

It's only about 1/4 - 1/2" from the bottom of the base upward.

It's cheep too.

If someone on here gets the red machine, please post better pics of it. I have already bid as deep as my pockets would go and been outbid, when I factor in shipping. I will just have to wait, but there is a red machine out there somewhere waiting for me.

And yes, the tubing is cheap.

The tubing worked on the treadle, but not the portable I tried. So it won't work on everything.
