Lathe Stand / Leveling

[kd4gij]

It about looks like the stand I built for mine. No problems in 10 years.

Finished. Lathe mounted on stand and leveled. Now I need to figure out where to put the bench and shelves I took down to make room for the lathe!

you made it too small

Naw, it is as big as the mounting points of the lathe. Nothing past there but overhang.

Nice job, I see you have lots of room to buy tooling and put it on that shelf. Gotta fill it up!!

Toolmaster - I just went out and looked. I hope you are not right! The top section was already made by the previous owner (and I was too stupid to check his work I guess). The tailstock end does have about 3" of "foot" that hangs off the end. The headstock end only about 1". I can always add to it, but hope I don't have to.

Eeler1, I have quite a bit of stuff that came with the lathe and a bit of other stuff from my old mini-lathe that needs to move over there. Ordered a QCTP last night so I just about shot my wad. I'm a tool junkie though so it won't take long!!
